With just one podcaster, it’s a novelty. With two podcasters, it’s trend. With three or more?...it’s a MOVEMENT!

Thanks guys,
It was almost easier making the table than making the video. LOL

Dick -

LOL! You are a digital sandbagger! Great video – I think you have that down pat!

That railroad tie was a real diamond in the rough. What a grat looking table and story. I really like the rose carving – an awesome touch!

Thanks David
I appreciate every compliment from you.
I’ve had my DVD-Cam about 6 months now, but I loaned it out to my Son, & I finally got it back. He needed it more than me. He was recording some musical shows in the area.

Dick,
I finally found the time to go from start to finish on this blog. What a great job!. The table is beautiful. I really appreciate you sharing your techniques. I’ll be anxious to try them out in my own work in the future. Your carvings, your choice of woods and how you worked them….everything top notch.

Thank you Bob,
Your compliments mean a lot to me. It was a fun project with trying some new things, plus keeping a blog of the progress.
Thanks also for the tip of using Brightcove, I think it’s a good video uploading system. It has some good features that I like.

I guess they did not soak the railroad tie in creosote like the ones we used to get around here. No way would they look like that, but they made great fence posts.

The tracks in the mines were constantly being moved as they dug, so the ties would break up before they rotted away.
The mining companies would give the workers the old ties, & they used them for firewood.

In the fall you’d hear the old saw rigs, made from old model T’s sawing away.

That was before chainsaws. A chain saw would never last with the iron ore covered wood.
