Good Monday Morning Patriot Woodworkers! September 17, 2018
John Morris posted a topic in General Woodworking
Good Monday Morning! Good Monday morning Patriot Woodworkers! What did you get done over the weekend, and what have you planned for the week ahead! Inquiring minds want to know. Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! This past weekend I focused on my new addition to my shop, this fabulous workbench, oak base, with oak cabinets and walnut drawer pulls, with a 4" thick top made of Maple and Oak. It has an end vise that is very powerful. The top mounted vise is a really cool one too, it's an old Columbian, but I'll move it to another location in the shop. If anyone has been following my good fortune, I was contacted by some life long friends awhile back, and informed that their neighbor was looking for a recipient of her deceased husbands woodworking shop, he was a WWII and Korean War Navy Veteran, a very accomplished woodworker among other trades, a high school shop teacher since he came out of service for our nation, his name was Jim Eckler. Our friends recommended myself as the recipient, and here I am now. I sincerely believe it was Providence, that I have received this gift of a bench and many hand tools, as in my own life, I was ready to move to mainly a hand tool shop and downsize significantly, I was hesitating for awhile, then this happened, and this event touched me off to make the move. Over the past few weeks I have sold off all of my machinery but for one lunchbox planer, and I purchased a Shopsmith with a portion of the proceeds of my big sale, for the moments I really need power, and tucked it in a nice compact corner of our garage. This bench, will be the mainstay of my work space, I really love it, it's at least 40 or so years old, and it has a ton of character. The holdfasts I purchased off a young man from Ebay, he hand forges these holdfasts and they work very well, if you are in interested in the holdfasts let me know, I'll give you the contact information. I can't wait to get to work on my bench, and honor it appropriately. Raffle Winners Congratulations to the following winners of our annual community fundraiser! Thank you to all who participated in the raffle, your contributions help us stay live! Laguna Tools $500 gift certificate redeemable at Laguna Tools and Supermax Tools (WINNER! @It Was Al Easy Wood Tools Mid Size Micro Detailer ($120.00 value) (WINNER! @p_toad) Wood River 4 Piece Butt Chisel Set ($62.00 value) (WINNER! @Artie) Wood River 6 Piece Bench Chisel Set ($90.00 value) (WINNER! @DuckSoup) Short and sweet Monday topic guys, running late for work, be safe all, and have a wonderful week ahead! -

This use resulted in a codification of local segregation practices with separate entrances for the black camps on the north side of the site and white camps on the south. However, Camp 1 provided new camping facilities laid out according to the latest ideas in recreational planning at a time when few options were available to African-American groups. By the 1960s, Camp 1 was used as co-ed and integrated Camp Goodwill by Family and Child Services of Washington, DC. -

Good Monday Morning! Patriot Woodworker, we have survived the weekend to move on to this warm June week. The weekend brought a bit of fulfillment and completion for me. My son and I can finally say, "The end is near!" The deconstruction of his property is complete and we built an 80 foot fence on Saturday. He has scheduled a local company to bring in 7 loads of top soil to fill in the hole from the house and level the yard.

Please tell us what's happening in your shops, your life, and any events going on with you. Thank you for being here folks! As for me, I have a whole week off! Kids are on Spring Break and we have plans to see some sights. We'll be heading down to San Diego for a couple day trips, it's only 2 hrs away so we don't need to stay the night down there, and we'll visit some of our favorite places, The Cabrillo National Monument, Balboa Park, possibly the San Diego Zoo, and the beach of course, and we'll visit my old stomping grounds for some great food, but it'll be fun. I'll try to get some shop time in between it all, our kids are growing up so fast, I feel like I need to squeeze what remaining time I have left with them into a few short years anytime I have a day off. Our oldest is back to college, her Spring Break ended last week, so we'll just have our two youngest with us for this week off. Have a wonderful week ahead all! Who is behind The Patriot Woodworker? Of course our Forum Hosts and our Admins are! They run the joint around here, and without them we'd be in a world of hurt. Occasionally though I like to show off my family (the unseen heroes), who has supported my own efforts here on The Patriot Woodworker, with a ton of patience, and understanding for ol Dad. We take a few pictures once a year at this old picnic bench every Easter Morning after services. We have 17 years worth of images at this exact location in our backyard since we moved into our home, and it has become a family Easter Tradition. My wife and I have been married for 27 years, and we have lived in this home for 17 of those wonderful and at times challenging years. My very patient family seen below, my eyes look closed, they aren't though, I can actually see through them squinty eyes. I would like to officially and publicly thank my family for allowing Dad to be here, having fun with ya'll. (missing one more dog and a bunny rabbit, couldn't get them to cooperate for the pic) New members Please welcome the following members to our community. @Scottart, @FastFred3 To our new members, thank you for joining us!

For now though we can enjoy world class work he left behind.

Why does a week always have to start with a Monday? Shop is usually closed on Mondays.....so why not start the week on Tuesday? Anything getting done, out there? Needs a door and a small drawer, then the finish....maybe by next weekend?

New members Please welcome the following members to our community. @erik1, @The Society of Wood & Tech, @Woody, @Joeysonnier, @pvaefz, @John the Handyman To our new members, thank you for joining us!

Featured Gallery @lew is famous for his Celtic Knot Rolling Pins, in case you all missed it, he inserted a wonderful gallery showing some of the steps to build a Celtic Knot Rolling Pin. Great job Lew! In the news Do you need some targeted feedback from our community for your next big tool purchase? Or how would you like to know what the most preferred method for finishing casework is? Spray or brush? Well now you can, we have a new function in our community that allows you to create polls. See the following link that shows you how to create a poll. Create a Topic With a Poll Thanks to @Cal idea regarding having a single location for past "What's It" topics images for our sleuths to be able to back track through the What's It projects and see if they can still solve them, and for our future detectives as well. Cal wanted a way to do this without having to open each topic and see what the item was for that month. So I turned our winners board into an image center as well with links to the topic. Now you can access all the What's It primary images in one place, for each year. Please see the following links. The MWTCA Project Winners Board 2017, and The MWTCA Project Winners Board 2018. We are working on a series of forms for you to create review for a tools, machinery, finishing, supplies, product review. The first form we are starting off with is a "Table Saw" review form. We will have a form with a variety of text fields prompting you with questions about the table saw you are writing about, once submitted, a dedicated page will have your complete review embedded within. We chose the Table Saw to start with, because it is typically the biggest, and first purchase folks make when starting their own shops, or replacing their existing Table Saw. If you'd like to participate in the form building process, please leave your feedback at this topic "Table Saw Review Form" We also temporarily opened up a project I have been developing for some time now. Please see the following topic at: Featured image of the week Illustration from the book "China and Its People" https://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3441004 Image contains Chinese carpenters or woodsmen, they are performing pit saw activities for ripping boards from a log.

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.
