Friday, November 23, 2018, What’s on your Patriot Woodworker agenda?

[John Moody]

Here’s hoping you all have a great Thanksgiving and got to enjoy family Food and fun!

 

We’ve been busy getting ready for the last show of the season next weekend. I’ve finished a large batch of cutting boards of different sizes. 

 

 

We also finished another set of cornhole boards and only have seven more sets to go. 

 

 

Thats our shop, what’s on you agenda for this Black Friday?  Finding bathing or spending time in the shop?  We love to see and hear about your projects so share with us your holiday weekend agenda. 

 

Whatever you do, be save and have fun!

Girls had swim practice this AM. Today was our family Thanksgiving meal since the kids were gone yesterday. Boys currently have three rooms under occupation by various toy themes; living room Super-heroes, a bedroom of cars, trucks, and related, another bedroom serving as a staging area.

 

Much to the cat's disdain, seems the dog is spending lots of time indoors the past couple of days. So far the dog remains terrified of the cat. On the other hand, the dog finds refuge on a bed with or w/o a grandkid.

 

Weather such as it is, the shop remains closed until further notice. Wish it was open 'cause I could use the break.

Staying home, traffic past our place is real heavy, we're not willing to deal with the traffic/crowds.

Keeping an eye on the approaching storm front, the forecasters are all predicting different scenarios.

Gonna have to work on the snowblower. Running really rough. Need to keep the choke about half closed to keep it going.

Had to haul the Boss, and the GrandBRAT Diva to the stores this afternoon....Got back in one piece, and hid in the shop...finally emerged about 6pm...

All tapers are done

All outside corners on the legs have a double bead..

Tapers...and

Supposed to look like this..

Resaw some 2 x 4s down...crosscut for rough length

So, now the aprons can be milled...

Was wondering WHY it was so warm in the shop, today......glanced down to find out I had left my coat on....hate when that happens

 

May do a write up about today's Follies...

later got the drawer fronts all cut and fit, now working on edge banding the drawer fronts (half done, wrap up tomorrow), and the pulls came today, so i'll get those fit tomorrow as well.  then time to bring the whole mess up to the house and put it in place.

 Dab those cabinets look good, Plenty of room to start.

[DAB]

i was in such a hurry to make progress, that i attached the drawer fronts without first removing the blue tape labels underneath.  eh, someone, 30 years from now will find them.

[DAB]

and in place with pulls attached.

 

the wood pattern ceramic tiles are just on the top loose presently.  need to add a layer of plywood, then concrete board, then thinset and the tiles. edge will be wrapped with some wormy maple.  grout, and then done!  should wrap up this week.

 

if you have a good eye, you'll notice the grain continues across all the drawer fronts.  cut from one sheet of plywood, and kept track of what piece goes where.  yay.

Great looking chest of drawers, Dab.

About ready for the epoxy pour on the slab table top. Cure over night. Sand and a coat of wipe on tomorrow. Should be totally done by Wednesday. Then, start on the Shelix planer blade replacement.
