Popular Post kmealy Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Wrapped up L'art d'un Menuisier today (The art of a craftsman, a Roubo print that I got for Xmas). I got a bunch of sheet glass from a guy that was cleaning out his dad's workshop. It is really dirty. I was working on a sheet, just cleaned both sides and was turning it to make the first cut when it just fell apart into lots of pieces. I've had luck with only about half of them not having some sort of flaw that cause them to break when moving or cutting them. Second one worked OK. Frame is just cherry with BLO. Got the mat cut & frame assembled. Now to find a good place to hang it.

Nice job on the framing. Lost Art Press was offering a free picture file last year. I suggested as a gift for me. One daughter, after searching around, got it printed at Staples. I'll look for the file again. Thad, HARO50, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be the problem. I know that glass is considered a "supercooled liquid" and not really a solid.

That's what I remember from both high school and college. I never thought of it being more brittle. Maybe. I know that glass that has been in a window frame for 50 years or more will be thicker toward the bottom and you can see stretch marks in it. Brittle, hmmmmmmm. Quiet possible.

Popular Post Thad Posted January 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 It may not be traditional woodworking, but you can't deny that tool handle maintenance can be just as relaxing. Spring time is coming up and these tools need some TLC.....and sandpaper, and BLO, and paste wax.

I asked if the store could print 11x17 color, and that was the size of the fancy print board she used. I think she said the print itself actually sized to 10x 15 or so.

AndrewB Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Nice...... I've just got a couple of waste blocks I have to turn and drill just gota hurry up and wait on the glue to finish off curing I'm going to give it a bit more time. I've also still got to figure out what type of material I can find as far as a 7 mm all thread bolt and acquire a 12 inch by 1 inch diameter piece of pvc tubing to make up this piece for pepper mill blanks. lew, p_toad, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
