I thought it looked a little heavy for the little fish camp! ;)

Just finished a meeting with clients who flew in from Lake Geneva in this unfinished building. Dirt debris and all.... Coffee and pastries on sawdust and concrete. Going to be a busy 2023

Oh man, drillin a 6 pack of studs was fun.

Don, this is the building you gave me advise on a couple years back. I appreciate your input, thanks.

Happy Birthday WOC. Happy New Years also.
Can't wait to follow your next journey.

Happy Birthday Rob, can't wait to see some fishing pictures when you get the fish camp done.

Happy Birthday Tule! One of these days I will do at least some small timber frame project.
Those will be very nice Doc.
Just about to get this shed that I started in the spring. Its based on Jeff's Slanty Shanty that I saw in his yard at the pig roast. It will house my sawmill blades and probably long handled tools. I built it by the garage, but Cindy didn't like it there, so I moved it today. I was impressed that my tractor handled it easily. I still need to finish the tin roof. With that being said, I may use some phenolic resin sheets that I have instead of tin. I'll know more tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Rob! The king of fine woodworking! We will let you slide on crap 💩 for awhile 😂

I went out this morning and removed the little bit of corrugated tin I had previously installed on the shed roof. I then cut some sheets of 1/8" white phenolic resin to fit each side. I made a ridge cap out of some white aluminum trim coil. I had to predrill the phenolic to put the screws in.

A friend had a sycamore tree cut out of his yard and I took the bottom log. Let it sit for awhile and sawed it up last week. Caught it just right spalted sycamore.

This stack is one log 14 foot long

So made a charcuterie board out of the knot slab

Those are beautiful Stan, especially that end table!

Putting square pegs in round holes. The first eight didn't go real good but than I got the hang of it and the second eight went great.

Scribing legs so the book case sits on all four legs instead of two.

Looking for glue squeeze out with a black light. If found, I can clean it up with hot water and a tooth brush. Probably only works with hide glue which I often use on this kind of work. Final sanding before slopping on finish.

Andries · January 06, 2023, 10:38:40 PM

Nice work Larry!
Ebony pegs?

doc henderson · January 07, 2023, 03:00:56 AM

just need time to wrap up and protect from shipping.

may do some sanding, but the client states she can do the finish.

Thanks
Ebonized white oak pegs. I was trying to keep them lighter so the grain would show through but ended up just making them black.

WV Sawmiller · January 07, 2023, 12:37:18 PM

I worked in Cameroon in west central Africa for many years and used to visit the Marche de Fleurs (Flower Market) where they had a lot of crafts like carvings, bowls etc and there was lots of Ebony items for sale. All was good till I walked around back and saw the ground was paved with flattened Kiwi black shoe polish cans. :

:D

Third world country....Fiebing's Leather Dye works much better! :D

I'm Making 20 Walnut Stair treads for my mom's house- stairs going to the basement. I milled these over the last 6 years. The newest ones were air dried for about a year. They were milled 3.5" thick and spent 3 months in a kiln. This is the first time using the mill and planer in the new shop. Dust and cord rigged up temporarily. This last week I jointed and brought the thickness to 3 inches. Now I'm jointing/planing the edges square to faces using my MP100 Mill mounted planer(which acts like a jointer). Final tread depth is 11.25". Most treads will end up 44" wide, but several at the bottom will be wider. I'm prepping the stock, but Bob the trim carpenter is doing the installation. I will be planing and prepping the risers and some other material for the stairs just as soon as the electrician finishes installing the outlet and plug for my new 20" spiral head Grizzly planer.

I should know better than to put this up right behind Brad's beautiful walnut. But what the heck. I showed this on the other thread but realized this morning I never put it up here as a contribution. Just a very simple, but very sturdy RO chair.

Its' a waterfall blind spline joint attaching back to seat. The slab had a cup in it, which suits a chair, but made the joint a little tricky to get square. Just using up material.

Surprisingly, the chair is a lot more comfortable than it looks. I didn't see that coming. :D

aigheadish · January 10, 2023, 06:16:41 AM

Looks great Tom, and the grain matching is beautiful!

firefighter ontheside · January 12, 2023, 02:49:21 PM

Brad, I want to see those stairs when they are done!

Tom, I may have to try a chair like that. I may have a piece of wood sitting around in the kiln that is just right.

I started working on some benches for someone made from bowling lane. I've worked with bowling lane before, but this is more of a pain than previously. This has more nails in it. I've trashed 4 circ saw blades. I bought some "demo" blades made by dewalt that are absolute junk. I'll have some pictures of what I have so far tomorrow. I'm putting riteleg legs on them, so they won't take long to make once I get all the nail cutting done.

I agree with Firefighter, I would love to see the stairs when done. I'm curious on the design to need 3" treads, unless the thickness is just for looks.
