Popular Post John Morris Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 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! Community News We have a new footer area at the bottom of our website, the old footer was outdated and non-functional from a maintenance stand point of view, and the original developer of the footer area upgraded the software to work with our core software upgrade that took place last week. You may see the new footer at the bottom, just scroll down, and view. At the very bottom I have placed some modules that show off who we are, along with a mission statement and a couple other articles, just click on the images to be taken to the full article.

Featured Topic @Dadio has been working on his Sliding Router Table Upgrade, and he has made some wonderful mods and improvements to what used to be just a basic router table, has now been turned into a highly functional work station with storage, surf on over and make sure you see what Herbs been doing, and perhaps you may find some useful ideas within this project. steven newman, HARO50, Chips N Dust and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Glad you featured Herb's router table upgrade. What he's done is amazing. And, kudos to you for the new look at the bottom of the page. It looks good and sure makes areas of the community more easily accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Howe Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ron, are the slabs coming out? Dadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Right Ron what happens to the slab? Would be great for a gazebo with picnic area in the orchard or tennis anyone? My DIL gave me some orders for buttons. She want me to turn some large buttons with 2 large holes to thread fabric thru and attach to the pillows she makes. Now we will have to see how that works out. Dadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Allen Worsham Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Working on getting ready for the first of 2 yard sales. I was pulling down all of our camping and fishing stuff that we will get rid of as we are no longer physically able to tent camp as we now have to crawl over to a tree or picnic table to pull ourselves up. That is why God made hotels. I went through the tackle boxes and saved only 1 item which was a whistle that my Dad always carried when we were camping and fishing. He would blow it when my sister and I were wandering to call us back to him when it was time to go. That brought back a lot of memories.

lew Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Good chance of rain everyday this week and no subbing so maybe I can get to the lathe. Anxious to see what that flame box elder looks like.

I do have a piece of red oak from when I built my fireplace mantle which is close to 2" thick but it is narrow about 6" wide. I will take a look when I get home but I don't think I have anything.

steven newman Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Monday.....grrrrr..about says it all. Visited Mom in her new place. She is staying at an assisted living house. Seems to be doing a LOT better. Her house ( the one I grew up in) has been invaded by termites.....they are working to get them all killed off. Bills have been paid, lumber has been bought.....have a bedframe project for the Boss. Lumber is still sitting IN the van...thunderstorms in the area. May need to buy a few more sticks...depending on what style head board she wants... Fingertip IS healing...and hurting. Might take a few days....

Chips N Dust Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Over the weekend, I mainly recovered from hell week, part 2. Last week on the ODOT project, we removed striping Monday night, bridge joint seals on Tuesday night, permanent striping on Wednesday and Thursday nights. All said and done, I think I got less than 18 hours of sleep between Monday and Friday. Project is in cleanup and punch list mode now.
