I think he once mentioned something 'bout writing material ... ???

What do you call that type of folding table?

I'd like to get specs, and make the wife one of them.

I could figure it out, but, I'd druther spend that time MAKING stuff, instead of figuring!

A nice coffee table, for the kids would sure be appreciated by them too!

I'd rather not give out the specs at this point, but anyone could figure it out if they played a little. ;)

that is some realy nice work guys

Nate Surveyor · December 26, 2007, 07:06:46 PM

Sorry Furby

I somehow thought it was a common design.

I can figure it out pretty fast!

Wow!

I just found this thread & read all 8 pages. Nice work, Jeff.

My wife also does woodburning. I'll take some pic's & post them up.

Edit: Can't upload them - What size limit is allowed?

Furby · December 27, 2007, 07:06:41 PM

Pics need to be less then 450 pixels on the longest side and under 45k total file size.
Directions are under the help button at the top of the page.

I never see any wood burning kits any longer. When I was a kid just about any department store and hardware store had kits for kids. I remember there were some rub on patterns you traced onto the wood piece, then burnt the pattern. Maybe some kid got burnt and it was the company's fault?

I've seen the irons and tips at Wally World, but no kits. The old fashioned "hobby shops" have disappeared. That used to be one of my favorite places to go.

If you google woodburner you should find a list of online retailers who sell woodburners. Woodcraft is one that comes to mind.

I did a couple more projects last night to finish up the white elephant type gifts we needed for tomorrow. Tammy had this el cheapo knife set that she asked me to dress up a bit, and the bird was done for Stacy to give as her gift. Its done on a chunk of wood courtesy of the Furbster.

Furby · December 28, 2007, 12:34:09 PM

That fit pretty good.

I like the multi sided one though.

Jeff · December 28, 2007, 12:41:07 PM

Woodburning on that felt a little like dressing a pig in a suit. :D What a cheap piece of crappola. I think Tammy said she gave 2 dollars for it at menards thinking I could do what I did with it. The knives are sharp, but so is the jagged lid off a tin can. I'd like to do another sometime more elaborate on a quality knive block set.

Furby · December 28, 2007, 12:49:41 PM

All ya gotta do is replace the knives with better ones.
I picked up some decent ones for 50¢ each (reg price was $4-5 each) at Meijers several years back on clearence.
Just gotta look around.
$2 for the block isn't bad, worth more now with the suit. ;)

I'll snap a picture of the end grain. This stuff is being produced out of very young fast growing stuff.

Furby · December 28, 2007, 01:08:12 PM

I'm sure it is, but can you make a better one? ;)

SwampDonkey · December 28, 2007, 01:36:56 PM

:D :D :D

This reminds me as a kid ending up with my mom, who was having coffee at the local gossup group. ;)

Pass the sugar please. ;)

Jeff · December 28, 2007, 01:48:15 PM

I KNOW I could make a better one if I had the tools. The amish store down here has some good knives at decent prices that you can buy one at a time and build a collection. My Favorite Kitchen knives are Old Hickorys but they are tough to find.
