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! What's It Our February "What's It" is live and well, go see our current months project at Featured image of the week A master woodworker in his own right and profession, Antonio Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo stradiˈvaːri]; (1644 – December 18, 1737) was an Italian luthier and a crafter of string instruments such as violins, cellos, guitars, violas and harps. Stradivari is generally considered the most significant and greatest artisan in this field. The Latinized form of his surname, Stradivarius, as well as the colloquial "Strad" are terms often used to refer to his instruments. It is estimated that Stradivari produced 1,116 instruments, 960 of which were violins. Around 650 instruments survived, including 450 to 512 violins.

Popular Post PostalTom Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I've been working on mess control for my lathe. I built a trough with a dust collection hose attached to the bottom, to go under the bed to catch the dust and shavings falling through the slot in the bed. Now, I am cutting down and modifying a shower curtain to hang in front of the lathe to control the mess from getting on the tool and accessories shelf under the bed. I'll post some pictures when I get it all done. steven newman, Cal, Grandpadave52 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chips N Dust Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Wife and I took a trip over to Gold Beach on the coast Saturday, stayed the night and came back on Sunday. While we were there, we stopped by a Myrtlewood store and picked up some pieces of live edge boards for some shelves she wants to make. I will have to edge join some other boards to these to make them wide enough to a practical shelf. On the way back, we took a detour and drove through Jedediah Smith State Park along the Smith River looking at all of the redwoods there. It was nice get away, although short.

Popular Post Gene Howe Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not a lot of woodwork got done over the weekend. Bunch of traveling, though. Plans for the week are to finish sand the river table and get it routed to receive the glass, get the legs assembled and do the first of five coats of wipe on finish. Got a date with Phyl on Valentine's day. Lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So, Wednesday afternoon is shot. I know a nap will be in order. Friday is another travel day. Headed to the Yuma area (7 hr. Drive) for a meet up with several AZ woodworkers. steven newman, Chips N Dust, HARO50 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Allen Worsham Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 My wife is off all this week so we will be doing a number of things like seeing doctors and getting x-rays. Yesterday we went to the Huntington Library in San Marino which is near Los Angeles. There are a number of museums and exhibits and beautiful grounds with different gardens. I have done photography for many years as a hobby and love taking photos at the Huntington Library. So here are a few pics of our time there yesterday.

Mechanics and B&W Photography. He was a wizard in the darkroom developing film but I could never do it that well. With the digital camera era it made it much easier for me. I love doing it when I can. HARO50, Grandpadave52 and p_toad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Allen, I know a lot of people would ask , What did you use for a camera? Having been a bit of a photography buff myself, all I can say is, great photography and great composition . You really captured the beauty of the grounds.

Gerald Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Got the tops done on 5 BOC bowls . Put a seal coat on a walnut trash can I built maybe 10 years ago and decided I have to clean some unfinished projects out. Had the top trim made just not cut to mount. The battery pack to rebuild my 14.4 PC drill came in today. Not bad for 27. Cal and Grandpadave52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
