Okay, I know it is Saturday morning. Friday was a bit busy for me and I was not on most of the afternoon and evening.

 

Just waiting here to let the neighbors sleep a little longer and then I will be ready to fire up the equipment in the shop and get a busy day going.

 

Working on the cabinet job this morning as soon as my son gets here.

 

got about six cutting board to be sanded.

 

Table to be stained.

 

Dovetails to get cut for the cedar chest.

 

I know it is a hopeful list but maybe I can check off some of them.

 

So what about you? What is going on in your shop or around your home this weekend?

Saturday, Little League game at ten.  Install the pool skimmer after lunch and finish filling the pool.  Sometime this weekend I need to plane about 30 linear feet of 12/4 oak, cherry and walnut that my good friend and fellow TPW member Bob Hodge gave to me for the Chaalenge Coin Project.  He had the wood but not the time.  I needed the wood and have the time.  Nice setup,, huh?  Thanks Bob!!!

For me it will be glue up the train display carcase and get the outside peices finished. Hopefully start to apply some of the poly to. This of course is after I cut my grass, my nieghbors grass and try to keep momma happy. Was hoping to get out to get some good oak for a trophy building job I received Friday night so I can started on them. 7 total, should be a fun project and one that will be very profitable. The guy that hired me for this brought one over from a "custom woodworker" that they were paying $500 a piece for. Made from poplar and screwed together, finish was extremelty rough and joinery was poor at best. So I gave him a price and he accepted.  Yeah for me ... LOL.

 

Working on the sewing tables and have a load of fresh cut flame birch on the way. It has to be stacked and stickerd to go into the dry kiln. The mill said the figure was so good he could see it from his office 200 feet away. I'll get some pictures later.

I have officially started my kitchen remodel. The picture tell in all.

 

Well I have been busy all morning with breaking down the Birch plywood for the cabinet job. Got everything cut and all of the rabbits and dado's cut.

 

Cutlist sure make that a quick job.

 

Got one of them dry fit.

 

Time to take a break and get ready for an evening out.

 

Hope you all got to make some sawdust today.

Great setup Ron. Love it when a plan comes together.

Just getting ready to leave and be the chief cook and bottle washer at the annual Honor The Veterans free spaghetti dinner. Last year we served over 400 dinners to the local Vets.

No wonder I don't like spaghetti!

I am going to have to get some of that or some birds eye from you. I love the way they look.

Congrats on the job pickup.

 

Sounds like your day will be like mine.

Here is the green flame birch I got yesterday.

The figure is some of the best I have seen in fresh sawn lumber.

Very very heavy when fresh sawn.

This is finished in a russet dye. Very pretty stuff.

WOW...sure looks nice, that's some intense figure Bob!

 

Soooooo, how is the back doing today?

 

-Ace-

Yahoo - eye candy !!

Sore body is more like it. Man, it was heavy. But it was worth every ache and pain. Talked to the mill yesterday when I was done, thanking him for the great stuff. I also talked him into some 8/4 next time. John, maybe a chair in flame birch??

Oh yeah!!!!! Bob, seriously, yes, yes, yes, a rocker is in the future! And, beautiful work Bob!
