We missed our Friday question for our members, since our Friday guy John Moody is out on business, we missed the Friday post! Sheesh, I'm getting slow in my old age. So folks, what are you doing this weekend? What is on your woodworking calendar today and tomorrow? Lets hear about your projects and let's see some pics if you gottem!

I have 19 cutting boards to sand level, trim up and final sand. All for Christmas gift sales. I was supposed to get that done yesterday, but I got a real bad case of the stomach flu so I was down for the count all day on the couch.

Nice Allen, well I met nice on the cutting boards, not nice on the tummy. Almost sounds like food got ya if it was just for a day.

Do you have a local crafts fair to sell them at or your church?

Working on the drawers for my router cabinet. I hope to have the cabinet completed this weekend before I go back to work on Tuesday.

Hey Mike, what as the height you settled on for the bit drawers?

John,

Not too sure yet about a craft show.  I will start with my wife's and daughter's schools as I have sold quite a bit of stuff over the past few years to teachers. There are a couple of local craft shows which I may do depending on how things go. Whatever money I make over the materials cost goes to my wife so she can get gifts for the kids as finances are a bit tight this year.

Allen, we should be having the "Let The Chips Fly" craft fair here in San Jacinto if your interested. It is usually in November, if not it's fun to walk through anyway. It's at the Saboba Casino. Just a heads up.

I went with an internal drawer height of 3.5". Any bit larger than that will be in a plastic case and can be stored laying down as you suggested. Thanks John.

I took my old appliances to to the dump. I tried to give them away but no takers not ever the restore. The restore said 15 years appliances are to old for then to accept. They were old but they all still worked good.

This afternoon I'm working on a fold down run-off for my cabinet saw. Tomorrow I hope to get the primer coat on my window trim frames.

I've got some picture frames to make tomorrow, hopefully I'll get them done.

Cut out some 5 1/2 inch letters from poplar for part of the birthday gift for a one year old.  Seriously thinking about making a mega sized alphabet set in the near future.  Have bowls to finish sanding with my air sander and hoping to try my hand at that platter or plate today.  Cut out the outside diameter of the platter on the scroll saw.  Rest of the platter or plate will be done on the lathe. Out of courtesy to my neighbors, waiting until 9am to turn on the lathe and air compressor.   16 minutes from shop time!!!!

It it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.

Getting ready to knock down some stock to rough size for a small cabinet. Spent Sat. sharpening saws, plane blades and chisels. Oh saw Buddy Guy last night he had the most beautiful acustic guitar. Sounded good to.
