Well done!   Find the top of my bench required loosing the horizontal top of some machine or piece of furniture.

I messed up the bowl blank I had prepared for another wave bowl attempt. Guess I didn't learn enough from the first attempt.

I think I'll leave that one alone.

Busy weekend.   

Saturday morning is the woodworking club meeting.  The featured speaker is from Tenryu saw blades.  In case you are not aware of them, they are a very good quality saw blade.  I was given one a year or so ago and it's every bit as good or better than the Forrest WW2 that I've been using for 30+ years and about $100, about 2/3 the price of the Forrest.  Their US headquarters is across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.

 

Once that is over, working on Christmas presents.  I have already done ornaments, a puzzle table, and a knife block.  In the chute is a charcuterie board needing just oiled, a small box to hold a couple of decks of cards for a grandson getting married in May, and a late order for another puzzle table.  Still to be started is a sort of shadow box to hold pins for a granddaughter who is into a dance troop.

 

Sunday church, beekeeper's meeting, and an evening concert.

 

Today in the mail, I got the issue of Wood Magazine that has my winning hint of the issue.  Yesterday, I got the prize, an Orion 950 moisture meter.

Thanks John. We're the only couple out of five that are still together from back then. Most of them said we'd only last a year. 

That was my mother-in-law's prediction. She told Lynn that she (Lynn) would come crawling back on her hands and knees before a year was over. When that didn't happen, she (mil) refused to have anything to do with us. That made ME very happy! September 2nd made 52 years for us.

Congrats @Larry Buskirk , we are working on 55 this year. 

@Grandpadave52 Hope you did not have and company while that was going on. 

@kmealy I am breathless just reading your schedule for tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow is last day of the MS AG Harvest Fest. It has been a pretty good week . These events have not been up to past years till now for this year.

Pastor called and said he'd drop by and spend some time with me. When I mentioned to him my state of attire (or I guess lack there of) he decided it might be best if we just visited via the phone for now.

A big congrats to you @Larry Buskirk & Mrs.

 

@Grandpadave52 - hope you can find those donuts soon and get back on your feet.

 

I've a lawn mower to pick up this weekend, just bought it at auction last night.  Need to round up a trailer from one of the neighbors or go rent one at TSC.

A couple ball games on to watch today.  Apprehensive about our UGA dawgs visiting Ol' Miss today.  Gerald's team has been playing very good ball lately, while we seem to be struggling a bit...

Totally missed this Larry.  Congratulations and many returns.  We are working on 25 years, official in February.  Our respective Mrs. Boss' are saints for putting up with both of us.

Exactly, replacements are too hard to train. 

 

Returned from the POTA event.  Only 10 this time, but very thankful for the 70 degree weather today.

Visitors arrived which is giving me a couple days off laying tile which is a welcome reprieve.

Good luck @Gerald, hope y'all go "all the way" this year... wait, that's not entirely correct... I got to support OSU for the championship.  Be glad to support you for SEC champs

I was in the shop today and cutting two pieces to the same width.  While I was not intending to do a  "thin rip", the second piece just needed a bit taken off.  My Tenryu blade stripped off a piece 0.020" thick.  For reference, 1/64" is 0.015625"

What is the type and part number of the blade you are using?
