Wife did most of the labor in the construction of this thing for there is lots of little pieces of glass everywhere. Me, I just spent most of my time on something else? Can't remember what? I cheated a little on this one... These things that look like carvings are the little 1/8 " pieces of pressed wood that are called Appliques... When I decided I wanted to try carving wood in 2016 I knew my hands don't work very good holding the carving knives so I decided power carving would be better and besides I already had a few air tools I used for other things so that was the start.. I got this brainer that if I ordered some appliques , I could lay them out on the large pages of 1/4" squares of graph paper I could trace around the little appliques on to 3/4" ash or maple and would have thicker wood so I did the easy way out for if I made mistakes the wood would be thick enough to correct my goofs before I ran out of the depth of the wood.. All my clocks for the first few years was laid out of the graph paper and I would try to make something look good for I had lots of different pieces of appliques to play with. So this fire screen was a place I could get rid of these things and maybe make something look decient and still make it look like I maybe carved on the three pieces of the screen without buying any more of the same. So I took my little angle air grinder and ground out all around these pieces and left all the scratches there like someone who might have carved these things. Just an exercise in faking something . I'm getting to where I like to use 100% tung oil more and more. This is the first time I have turned out something with only natural wood but has 2 helpings of 100% tung oil .. .. by far the most easiest thing a person can do to wood and I think the oil does more to protect it than anything I have ever used. I have used the tung oil quite often but it has always been over some stain or dye or coloring. I get to typing then can't remember exactually what it was I set out to tell? I will read this over and might come back with a bunch of corrections???? The first fire place screen stayed lit like this one for about three years every night. I don't burn any wood for it takes too much labor to maintain it. And we think it looks better than a log burning!

Got a question for y'all. I'm on my 6 or 7th sliding screen door since we bought our home in 2001. They have all been replacements from the typical Lowes or HD store, I even bought the "heavy duty" ones and they all fail after a couple years or less, the wheels lose their resistance in the spring mechanism and end up going up into the door too much, and eventually the slider is sliding metal to metal on the track. Or the wheels themselves wear out, or the screen gets trashed by pets. I have today surfed the net and seen many "heavy duty pet resistant sliding screen doors" but they don't seem that heavy duty to me once I see the specs. Does anyone have any good experiences with these sliders? And if so, what brand did you purchase? Thanks

I ran across these pictures of a room divider screen frame I made for a friend of the family awhile back. She wanted to cover with fabric and have the top and bottom rails removable to slide into the loop in the fabric top and bottom. So I used a dovetail joint on the ends of the rails. I thought this might be of interest to someone. Herb

Look what they did to my bedroom window screen? Not sure what kind of birds, looked like a wren in size with a reddish red. I'll have to get it re-screened using aluminum screen. Danl
