In my shop Well it's been a grand week leading up to this past weekend, and this weekend was just as nice as far as weather is concerned. I could not believe the quick transition from unbearably hot to a nice cool down. We went from 112 degrees to 78 degrees in a matter of two days, and what a reprieve! The cool off allowed me to return to my workspace and get a coat of finish on the wedding cross for our oldest daughter's upcoming wedding October 1st. I will have some images posted soon. Thank you all for being here, and helping our community remain interesting and full of new content submitted by all of you. And may the Good Lord Bless us all and keep us safe in our daily routines.

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! I was in the very hot and humid shop/garage yesterday and will be there today as well, making the base for the wedding cross for our oldest daughter's big event. I had to rip some long walnut boards so I set up my Shopsmith with an extension table idea I got from Doug Reed's YouTube Channel. The base is going to be 24" by 24" and 4" tall, from walnut. I mitered the corners so the grain wraps around. I'll reinforce the corners with glue blocks on the inside, I was going to spline the corners but I did not want to take away from the wrap around grain appearance. There will be a top and bottom to further secure the mitered corners. And of course, our shop dog Lady has to be underfoot everywhere I am in the shop. She even nips at my hands as I walk around from point A to point B, she is the center of the universe after all you know! Have a wonderful Labor Day and week ahead folks!
