Unk, I concede your point (and yeah, a Beav would be way cool!).

Lud · April 30, 2006, 06:43:20 AM

Good to have U back, UB.

There's times I can't get enough FF. That's why I got up a little after 5 this Sunday mornin'............ oh, and the 2 dancin' dawgs that gots to get outside right NOW.

Know the feelin'?

I've flown in a few DeHavillan Beavers on the west coast, as well as Twin and Single Otters. Not so fun in a strong head wind with heavy rain or in fog though. One trip in a single Otter...well, thank goodness for seat belts and cargo straps, 3 hours in roller coaster headwind, 30 mins return.

:D

Hey Buck! Those are very nice end tables. 8)

So what are you going to build next for your shack?

Don_Papenburg · April 30, 2006, 09:28:14 PM

Good looking saw setup . Now go get yourself some cans of Alpine green paint and make that Detriot happy again. And if you find a 3-53 lurking around let me know . I want one for my Diamond T pickup.

UNCLEBUCK · April 30, 2006, 11:23:26 PM

Thanks Lud , I have 2 dancin dogs too and when the one really has to dance it will stand outside my room and flop its ear's really loud and fast ,sounds like a helicopter :D
S.D. isnt them planes built ruff and tuff :D I see many repainted beavers average about 300,000$ today . If ya did hurl all they do is spray out with a garden hose , too bad the plane didnt smell like fish guts for ya :D :D

Thanks Patty, I am sawing basswood that the tree service dumped 2 years ago when I missed the first pig roast , bark falls off most but I am now a basswoodaholic . Screws go in so good I sometime forget and end up comin out the other side :D I had to bang together 8 end table/night stands because the furniture store wants 100$ each and made 2 kingsize headboards today because the furniture store told me 3 weeks after I ordered that the headboards I picked were no longer available ??? I can see Patty's black walnut door&headboard factory real soon . Everyone should troll through a new furniture soon and check the prices for some of that junk . Now if I only knew how to build lamps for the night stands but tell guests to bring a flashlight instead :D about 90$ for a basic lamp with lamp shade

Thanks Don P , I will keep a ear open for a 3-53 . It's been raining for 3 days here and I go out and saw out a pile and run back to the woodshop , its like sauna in my little woodshop with the stove going and the moisture coming off these boards , definately will replace all this furniture with white oak or ash someday but I dont have anything dried and everytime a board falls off the saw I got like white foam around my mouth as I holler out "free wood" yippee ! :D Never had so much fun , I dont go fast but it dont take very long to have a 3 foot tall pile of boards ;D Alpine green , 10-4 8)

Those are good looking night tables , a lamp aint all that hard to make .. ya need a few antlers , a discarded lamp that someone had no use for ;D a drill bit et voila une lampe ;D Or ... a tripod from a tree will do also .

I made this one in no time at all , I did buy the lamp shade at a box store but the plan is to make one out of birch bark , but the bark was not peeling when I made the lamp .

UNCLEBUCK · May 02, 2006, 12:45:42 AM

Marcel that is like a really nice lamp ! 8) I think I might give it a try and see what I come up with . It wont be as nice as that but I think it will save me a ton of money . This really great ! Thanks for the idear ;D

Dana · May 02, 2006, 06:41:49 AM

I got to agree with U.B. nice lamp Marcel.

scsmith42 · May 02, 2006, 06:43:14 AM

Marcel - very well done!

isawlogs · May 02, 2006, 11:57:31 AM

Thanks alot guys ,, but really aint nuttin to making them , a tripod , an old ~~trow~~ throw away lamp that someone dont want anymore for parts and a drill is all it really takes or in this case a couple of antlers picked up last fall while hunting .
We often get side tracked on this forum , but it all comes down to having fun , making money , saving some , eating well ;D and making and seeing cool things done by others. Wether it is related to wood or not dont bother me , I really enjoie seeing what every body else is doing and making , this lamp is the perfect example of that ... In it self has nothing to do with forestry .. but ... I was walking in the forest when I found the antlers ;D

UB .. I would like to see some pics of the head board your making

UNCLEBUCK · May 02, 2006, 11:42:10 PM

Marcel you or anyone never has to worry about getting off the subject in any of my threads ever . I think that's part of the magic of being here ! 8)
Heck I am still searching for a 10" clear tube so Jeff can make a aquarium in a stump ;D

There is the picture of 2 kingsize headboards sawed the other day from 2 year old junk basswood with the bark falling off and laying on the ground . Just a quick solution for now and I will replace them with dry hardwood this winter . I was so excited that when I got done slamming these together I realized I forget to shove them through the planer :D

Tomorrow I am going to cut a whack of posts for making lamps or as I will call them "Lampe du Marcel" 8)

Take a belt sander to um and leave some tooth marks on there .. it will look really good . I like the white and brown on there , All I would do to them is sand them with the belt sander and put a 45 around the edge with a router .

A man on a mission . 8) How tall does he need the tube ... I am sure that I can get that here from the plastic forming shop ....

UNCLEBUCK · May 03, 2006, 01:05:54 AM

Belt sander ;) I will do that !

I think da boss man be needing a 10 inch clear tube about 16 to 24" in length . Not sure if it will be for a bunch of little fishes or just a big one head first ;D but I know I have not had good luck in finding it .

Don_Papenburg · May 03, 2006, 11:08:11 PM

Isawlogs, You can get clear plastic cylinders in the ten and one half inch diameter size ? I don't know what that converts to in Canadian. The largest ones that I can find are less than ten inches . I could use a couple if you can get them . Let me know cost and sizes you can get.
