March 9, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_142824 Today will start off with gluing up the six panels we have into three panels for this huge Maple Island top. yesterday we got them all run through the dual drum sander. Got the glue off and took them down close to finish thickness. Today we will work on jointing edges so we can do the glue up of the sections. While we are wait for glue to dry we will be taking a load of logs to the saw mill. I also have a load of lumber to pick up at the mill and bring home and sticker and stack. Should be a busy weekend. What’s on your agenda. We love to see your projects and pictures. Whatever you you do have fun and be safe. Report

March 9, 20188 yr comment_142841 As my luck goes, my shop furnace quit working earlier this week. I was out there last Monday and it was working just fine until about noon or so when i noticed it felt a little cooler. The thing went electrically dead. I checked the power source and made sure it was OK, and the transformer in the furnace still hums....but no heat. I'll have to find someone who works on the ceiling hung gas fired units. Anyway, it seems to stay warm enough (middle 40's) that i can continue on getting my DC set up, so I may get some more done on that. Report
March 9, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_142843 Did some bleaching on the flowers I and working on and have to finish that . Then on to more turning. Went to an estate sale this AM and found a kayak my son was interested in for 80 also ski pants for 3 and a heavy hose nozzle for 2. Wife had to go back and go a trash can for 20 and book on Graceland for 10 (too much for that). Have to think what they will do when they have to go thru my stuff. Report

March 9, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_142862 Drawer guides ( wooden ones) are installed, top is out of the clamps. The Boss is fighting both SSI and the bank about her checks that didn't show up... Went to the Hospital to take a ride in that oversize dryer thingy..CT Scan. On the way over there... Drove past this brand new Amish Saw Mill They haven't even sided the house, yet... Happens when the log is too big for the saw blade...they haul it out here, and hand split it... Will clean the top of the cupboard, round some corners, and install the top....later. Then maybe work on a drawer...1/2 blind or through dovetails? We'll see. I may find out Monday IF they found anything in the scan....other than cobwebs... Report
