September 23, 201312 yr comment_8778 Welcome to the first Monday of Fall. Â No more hot days, no more mosquitoes, no more pop-up thunder storms (ok, I can dream can't I?) What glorious projects did you get completed over the weekend? Â Just checking? Â Let us know. As for me, I got the finishing touches on a few projects I have been working on. Â Just thought I would share. A special project for a friend of mine. Â This is made from 3/4" Red Oak, 1/2" Sephelle and a spot of Maple (the stars). Also got the finish on a new nativity set. Â (Sorry about the unprofessional pictures - the projects are still in my shop. Just one more - finished up this special order Quarter Map - a shadow box type that holds 56 quarters from each production mint. Oh, yeh - forgot - got three more maps stained up. Â Frames are on their way. OK - enough bragging - how about y'all??????? Â Please share Fredaka Pop's Shopwww.pops-shop.com'Soooooo many patterns - sooooo little time'Scroll Saw Forum Host Report

September 23, 201312 yr comment_8789 Well, nothing woodworking related over the weekend, but I did get all my automotive work done. I had to replace the front struts, hubs, rotors and brakes on my 2007 Ford F-150 an it went very well. I spent about 5 hours on Saturday doing the passenger side and then another 3 hours on Sunday getting the driver's side done. The driver's side went much easier than the passenger side as I learned what not to do and things went much smoother. Then after cleaning everything up I drove by Pep Boys and got the front end alignment done as it had to be done since I had to unbolt some of the front suspension. I really enjoyed doing the work and my shoulder did really good. My lower back on the other hand is rather sore today. But all in all it was an enjoyable time for me and my truck does not bounce and shake as much as it did. Next month I will do the back brakes and then things should be good to go on my truck.Allen WorshamCorona, CAallenworsham@earthlink.net'Graze in every man's field, but always give your own milk.' J.

September 23, 201312 yr comment_8786 Barely got some woodworking in. Got all the rails and stiles dadoed and started on the tenons on the rails. Â Wife volunteered to do a little mowing (it's just sitting on the Polaris and turning left) but, had to change the throttle cable on the tow behind mower. Then, found the blades needed changed. Then, found that the blades wouldn't turn. Electric clutch won't work with a dead...and I mean DEAD ....battery. Then, found a blown fuse in the charging system. Tried to change the fuse (cylindrical glass type) and it broke. Couldn't get the short end out. This morning, went to town and bought the parts to change to the square, stab type fuses and had to order a new battery. Got home and installed the new fuse holder and fuse.Just now got a call from the auto parts store that they had that battery in stock, after all. *&^%$#!!!! That's a 60 mile round trip!!!!Wife has to go in town tomorrow. She'll pick up the battery.I'm spending the rest of the day in the shop, by golly!

September 23, 201312 yr comment_8785 You know Fred you guys are killing me with what you get done, what a production!!!! Fabulous project you got going there too Fred, completely awesome, love them all. The veterans plaque is amazing, love the nativity and the maps are awesome. There is quite a bit of time wrapped up in those projects. I installed some cabinets over the weekend, on Friday and started working on the last one yesterday. The install went pretty good, specially considering I had no help to get that upper cabinet in place! Luckily it's solid pine, and I also left the doors off for now so it was that much lighter to get up in place. I built a temp box to sit the upper cabinet on and then shimmed it up to the ceiling to its final resting place, then drove the screws home and called it good. I installed the lower base cab last weekend and the butcher block top, and I came back this past weekend to some gaping holes very ugly butchered cut outs where the plumbers cut for their supply lines, I told them to wait until I get there so I could help out and hole saw some nice holes into the back panel of the base cabinet, I know how these guys work, but they did not wait, and I cringed, and sulked, and I was PO'd. Now I need to make up a beauty ring of sorts to cover the ugly ragged cut out they did. Argggh! John MorrisThe Patriot Woodworker Report

September 24, 201312 yr comment_8780 John, Sorry to hear what a plumber without pride in their work did to your cabinet. I guess that's the difference between a plumber, and a pipe-fitter. We know what a hole saw is, and how to use one properly.
