If I remember correctly, a similar story for the man who originally designed the devise for flocking. There are givers and there are takers. Danl

Some times just going outside and doing small chores is good for the healing. Danl

This is the swivel I purchased from chairpartsonline.com. It is tilted approx 3 deg and has a spring which allows the seat to return to the same position it was at when you sit on the stool. Danl

The swivel bar stools are finally complete! Finish schedule is one coat BLO, one coat 1-1/2 # garnet shellac, and 3 coats SW Sher-wood Kem Aqua Plus clear. They were made per my wife’s specifications: 1) the stools have to swivel and go back to center when at rest, 2) they have to have a back support which is to be no higher than the counter top height, 3) she has to be comfortable sitting on it, and 4) they have to be made from cherry wood. The first prototype was 1” too short (for her). The 2nd prototype is taller and has mortise and tenon joinery (a 1st for me). I changed all the dimn for the legs and upper rails. The production stools have dimensions from both prototypes. Thanks for looking. Danl Prototype he

As of this week, I have been retired for 53 weeks. Well, it finally happened. I fell into the pitfall of retirement. I forgot which Saturday it is. Today is the 5th Saturday not the 6th Saturday for this week. ACE Hardware is having a sidewalk sale and for $1.00 I can have a hot dog and soda. When I arrived I realized my mistake. Oh well, I can make up for it tomorrow. Danl

Getting Wife In To a Room From the Emergency Room
Danl replied to Smallpatch's topic in Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Jesse, my wife knows your story and frustration all to well. For insurance sake, the primary doc needs to alert and recommend action from the specialist. There may be other health issues which the primary care doc knows that the specialist is not aware of which may impact the decisions. Danl -
I Finished Before the Hot Gets Here At 4 or So Today

Jess, I'mpraying your wife gets the medical attention she needs. I know this is difficult for you also. Danl -
I plan to move the spray pieces into the kitchen right after they are sprayed to allow for controlled evaporation. I was mostly concerned that the shellac & finish would dry before it hit the wood because the air entering the gun would be dry air, the structure would be of ambient temp, and perhaps the pieces would take on a foggy appearance due to the humidity. Danl

I have been wanting to spray shellac and SW Sher-wood Kem Aqua Plus clear for a week but the weather has been hot. Now the temps have dropped some but the humidity has gone up. The SW product best dries at 50% RH or lower and 77 deg or higher. I have been waiting for a window where the temps are below 80 deg and the RH below 80%. I do all of my spraying in the garage which does not have A/C. Am I taking too big of a risk if I spray with the temp and RH above 80? Danl

Jess, if I followed your advise I would have to do more than start cooking for myself. Danl

My wife and I found ourselves in Tennessee, so I had to visit Judy Gale Roberts’ studio in Seymour, TN. Judy is an Intarsia artesian. Her work is very beautiful. Unfortunately, Judy was out of town the day I visited, but her office manager was available to answer many questions. Judy teaches classes, makes guest appearances, makes commissioned work, and puts out approx. four new patterns a year. She is looking for ways to be less busy, but the demand for work makes it difficult. I had a great time seeing her studio. If you plan to see her studio, leave the RV at home. The roads are narrow, and the driveway is very steep. Danl

Where Will Your Tools (And Other Things) Go When You're Gone?
Danl replied to p_toad's topic in Free for All
I told my wife to sell anything with a cord and save/give the rest for the two sons. Neither son has a desire to work with wood. Danl -
My wife and I went away for a few days and upon our return we found our home had been attacked by woodpeckers. We have a cedar wood enclosed patio which carpenter bees have been invading for the past 3 years. This year I took persistent action and eliminated approx. 50. I would see approx. 5 bees a day prior to their departure (a good swat with a tennis racket). I have not seen any carpenter bees for approx 3 weeks. The woodpeckers have been pecking the same areas where the bees entered the cedar. I think they were after the bee larva. Today, I saw 3 woodpeckers. It is become a choir to constantly chase them off. Do you have any suggestion what I can do to persuade the woodpeckers to find a new home. Danl

My wife did not want wood. She said she did not want the mess that would be created if we did have a water leak, so she selected Armstrong LVT. Danl

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
