November 24, 201510 yr For some dumb reason....I went back down to the shop last night......paying for it this morning, too. Back is almost as stiff as that Walnut.. Got out a few more toys last night.. Since the "plan" was to cut the curves on a few parts. Bandsaw from Texas couldn't follow a line if it tried, went with the Craftsman three wheeler. At least it would stay near the lines. Used the drawkinife first to remove saw marks.......not enough room to clamp and shave. Gave the spokeshave a work out, though. The parts? Needed a pair of these aprons done. These will go under the bottom shelf on the ends. That thing under the apron? A "shoulder plane". Thought I'd give it a try out on some tenons to be cut. Got two out of four legs done, as well.. Those be the tools to cut some mortises with. Spokeshave to smooth the curves. There is a mortise chopped there as well. There will be another as I go along. Used a backsaw to cut the tenons and a chisel or two to knock off the waste. Top aprons are left square... Something like this. I did champfer the edges of the aprons a bit. Need to chop a few more mortises. Need to shape the other two legs, rip a bit more apron stock. Need three more long aprons, and a stretcher to go between the bottom aprons? Might just need two, instead. We'll see. Maybe I can see the lines well enough today to bandsaw the rest. I do have the lines marked out....I think I did... Then back to chopping things. Oh, and cut and glue a bottom shelf...sometime. Stay tuned, I have already cussed enough to make R. Lee Ermy blush....
November 24, 201510 yr Has any one ever told you that your ability to frame a photograph is really quite good? It is. So is your subject matter. The things you shoot are texcturally and visually interesting. Take that first one. You could place in a photo contest with that one for sure. Probably you could sell your photos https://www.smugmug.com/pro?&mckv=sJTRNZmfM_dc|pcrid|76465492938|pkw|where%20can%20i%20sell%20my%20photography|pmt|p&s=google&m=cpc&c=NB+-+Sell+Photos&t=where%20can%20i%20sell%20my%20photography&co=76465492938&gclid=CjwKEAiAstCyBRDiqu75hvnX82kSJACgYI_Qj80KCk7Dn7TsZOHHjhG_eTQ9l5CxlZVjf6U6Uhg4PBoC0Q7w_wcB https://gospaces.com/sell/photos?term=%2Bsell%20%2Bmy%20%2Bphotography&Network=Search&SiteTarget=&mt=b&adid=69034040194&BOID=gospaces-core&gclid=CjwKEAiAstCyBRDiqu75hvnX82kSJACgYI_QiVpD8OA8kE9MSmuhG2zrO0mC_dGx2uOJi_cuwCjD_BoCDzrw_wcB https://www.fotolia.com/Info/Contributors Issue them as limited editions (as in #1 or 5 or 2of 5 ) mark 'em that way or as one of a kind never to be reprinted or sell stock to be reprinted countless times you getting a hunk of the money each time then sign em and kiss 'em good by for some greenbacks. Add to them a hand made frame and you might be able to get upwards of a few hundred for a photo. Edited November 24, 201510 yr by Cliff
