August 7, 201214 yr comment_25744 Remember when I posted this: http://www.thepatriotwoodworker.com/forum/topics/don-t-quite-know-why-it-was And then I started this idle boast that I was going to make a bunch more an all on the strength of the wimmin folks wanting 'em plus they refused to let me give this to the intended recipient until after I also had one for her sister. (((Really folks, I was going to make a different one for the other grand daughter. )))Â But her mommy wouldn't have any of it. Well it's done. Report

August 9, 201214 yr Author comment_25754 *****o, are you going to give them away... or sell them?******They are already dedicated.The first was for a 6 year old grand daughter. She is a girlie girl and I figured she'd like the hearts. Her mom ( my daughter) saw it and so did my wife and together they convinced me not to give it to her until her sister's was done.So I just made one for each of the wimmin folk.Sell 'em?    I'd have to get better than ten grand a pop to make these as a mercenary. Maybe 20 gees. Report

August 16, 201214 yr Author comment_25750 thanks guys. It was a job o' work.I'm still half apoplectic over the fact of being done.  I've been wandering my shop like Jacob Marley's ghost picking up this thing here and sweeping some sawdust over there and generally just rattling my chains and not quite able to remember what I was going to do next.Except I didn't have a next.  Well, I made a hockey sticks of a mess so I need some open time to clean up. Report

August 17, 201214 yr Author comment_25745 That's pumpkin pine. Can you believe the floor was covered in ancient asphalt glued tiles? They used to use hot asphalt to glue early plastic and fiber tiles I guess it was early linoleum. I had the use a propane torch and a hand scraper to get it all up. Then sand sand sand with one of those horrid rotary drum sanders. There was a rug on top of the tiles when I bought the place.The whole house was shag rugged. even the bathrooms and kitchen.  Mein Gott In Himmel what a mess that was hiding.It was a fixer upper Report
