John Moody Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 I sold my Rigid 3560 Table saw and it is to be picked up this weekend. I have purchased an older Delta Unisaw and I am hoping we get it in the shop tonight. Can't stand the thought of no table saw in the shop, even for a weekend. It has been stored so I am sure I will be in the saw top cleaning and waxing mode this weekend. So what's on your woodworking agenda for this weekend?
John Morris Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Congratulations John on the old Uni! I bought my dad one a few years ago and it's a great saw. His was made in the 50's. I have today off, we work 10/40 weeks so I get 3 day weekends every week, so today, my day off, I am sitting here working on getting more folks over to our site! inviting, researching, looking at other woodworkers websites, making connections, telling folks of our wonderful site and how we help our wounded troops returning home from war. Thanks for asking about our weekends John. I am going to get back in the shop later today and the rest of the weekend and get that rocker finished up.Â

Gary Heltemes Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 I belong to a woodworkers club here in town and our annual woodworking show is in a couple of weeks. 90% of the stuff I build is furniture and it's just to big to get up the steps to our show room.Sooooooooo.........I am now trying my hand at a small walnut box. The challenge is getting the quadrant hinges mortised in correctly. So far so good. They fit sug as a bug-in-a-rug..............in the box. Now I have to deside what to do for a lid............then that mortise will have to be an exact mirror fit. That's when the fun really begins.

THOMAS WATKINS Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 i'm building a doll cradle for my soon-to-be 3-years old (April 3) grandaughter. She has a favorite doll, soo "Papa" HAS to make a cradle for her.
John Nebelsiek Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Cleaning off the work bench AGAIN. Seems its 9' of horizantal "collection" area. I might improve some more lights in the shop; been replacing all the T-12 2 bulb fixtures with a 3 socket bathroom fixture ($8.79) and 3 - 100w output cfls daylight spectrum (6500k) BOY DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!!!. Not only does the light seem brighter (more wattage per fixture) but the spectrum makes it even MORE bright.
Guest Ace HoleInOne Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 The start of "The Rainbow Oaks Market " and tearing out one wall of my shop for the expansion .
Ace HoleInOne Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Spray dye on the inside of some drawers I constructed with a mix of maple heart and sap wood. Should be fun, I did a pretty spiffy job of matching the sapwood to the heartwood, took me the better of one whole evening to get recipe right! Â Then on to some sanding. Â -Ace-

Wayne Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Tommorow morning I'm hoping to get some cleaning done in my shop. I have this huge piece of wood beside my desk that would be perfect for the coin display. It is big enough to do a few. I am hoping to figure out what kind of wood it is. Maybe a shot or two through the thickness planer will help. Can't do too much, waiting on the hand to heal. Tomorrow night the Mrs. and I and our dog are driving into Ohio to rescue another Pembroke Corgi. So maybe I will get time in the shop later Sunday. I acn now write and draw so maybe I will get some drafting done for some projects for our Churck.New lecturns and music stands etc. Oh yea the coffee and cookie bar.
Ron Dudelston Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Wayne, baby the hand. Everything else will wait!!!!!
Wayne Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 RonThanks for the advice. I actually am listening to Docs on this one. Tried tightening a screw last night and the pain was not acceptable. Cleaning things is ot problem as long as I wear nitrel gloves. One thing I have learned over the years, The list grows and eventually you get around to it.
Ron Altier Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Â I saw the Dr yesterday about my allergy and I starting to breath easily again. This weekend will have to be a shop free one. No dust. That is OK because we have been having some wonderful weather, high 60s and low 70s. I think I will be on a hike or anything out doors. In Colorado, beauty is just about everywhere. Â The picture is of me and my grandson on one of our hikes.
Ace HoleInOne Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 I second the beauty. My brother-in-law lives there too. We enjoy our visits to your State. -Ace-
Wayne Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Having 6 grand children I know how great it is to spend time with them. That is one time I would not regret getting into my shop.
