Grandpadave52 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks John for posting @steven newman's table...I had not seen that before. His ability to stretch material into something useful, practical and pleasing to look at in a minimalist manner is amazing. Love the weathered bench, the lathe and especially the wooden flywheel; the floor is pretty cool too...That's craftsmanship...also see one of your rockers peering in from the left edge of the picture. Weekend, nothing productive; all four grand-kids sick with something or other...watched some of the IHSAA, Class 3 & 4 Regional BB games on Saturday and some of the NASCAR race at Phoenix yesterday. As for the week ahead, TBD. Normal daily routines. Supposed to see a break from winter by the EOW so maybe will be able to do something productive.

Chips N Dust Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Spent a long weekend in the big city of Portland - Jeff Dunham concert on Thursday night, Portland Zoo and OMSI on Friday, Cabela's on Saturday. Then we stopped off and visited with the MIL and got home around midnight Saturday (1 am with the time change). Also stopped by both the Rockler and Woodcraft stores. Overall, a very nice weekend.

Popular Post Gene Howe Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Delivered the river table. They were happy with it. Attended a baby shower for our newest grandchild.

Popular Post John Moody Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 We finished this afternoon gluing the last of the sections for the Maple Island top. When we square it up it will be 48” wise x 8’3” long and 1 1/2” thick. Over the weekend I got the mortises and tennis cut for this screen door. It is just over 7’ y’all and 39” wide. This was a dry fit. Should get it glued tomorrow when we get the island out of the clamps. Cal, lew, Dadio and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 That lathe looks like it would be a workout just to do one item. Got a busy week ahead. Put lacquer on several items I have been working on. Tomorrow will go to Stew Pot to serve lunch and then in PM to see dentist to get crown installed. Wednesday will go to set up boot at artisan marketplace an in PM security duty at church. Work at drugstore Thursday and I am already tired just typing it in.

Whole lot of sanding going on there. I definitely need one of those "speed sander" set-ups. Gonna be one beautiful top for someone!
