LumberJock Picnic - Belated post - 2008

Blog entry by Karson posted 304 days ago 311 reads 1 time favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Well a second annual LumberJock Picnic was held at Lee’s home in 2008.

Again I was late in posting pictures. So I’m going to get caught up I hope.

Some of the same people showed up for the 2nd annual picnic as for the first one. Mark and his wife Nancy work for the post office and they couldn’t get off. But left to right.

Bob Lanzilotta BryanO Lee Jesberger Bob A in NJ Zipsss, Ze'ev Abigador and myself Karson Morrison

A couple of the projects.

Bob A’s Walnut hope chest.

Ze’ev’s Tornado table.
Click for details

Also some lathe work.

Ze’ev trying a Lee Neilson plane on some Elm wood that he brought for me

Trying Lee’s shelf pin drill on some scrap wood.

Bob A showing off his Tendon (not tenon) cast while trying his luck on the plane.

Lee and I transferring Photos

Lee setting up the table saw to demo cutting a profile to make molding.



After the profile was cut on the saw it was hand planed to smooth out the curves.

Some pictures of doing vacuum clamping. Lee uses these jigs to assist in holding wood for fastening and hand planing.

Lee has holes in his workbench that provide vacuum up to the jig fixtures

This jig has maybe 6 sq inches of surface picking up the Elm piece.

There was also lunch.

After everyone left Lee and I hung around the shop and did some playing with some veneers that I brought.


Trimming the edges.

Now some shaping.

Some assembly of the pieces.

Another great yearly picnic.

Creat one, visit one, support one, have one. Visit with your buddies.

It does look like you all had a good time with this one as well. Face-to-face meeting like this are wonderful. When I was working I had to deal with people from across the country in state, federal and private industries and usually these interactions were done via e-mail or phone calls. But getting together for meeting, conferences and training session while being able to put a face with a name was always great.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, If yall had actually forgot to eat at this picnic and just talked wood the whole time, that could have made it on the “You might be a LumberJock If” list. Looks like it was fun.

I might have to:

A.) Visit the next mid-Atlantic picnic.

B.) Put something together for the New Englanders.

That’s some great looking veneer you guys played with!

Well CesnaPilotBarry (Alias: BeechPilotBarry) we’ll be happy for you to show up. Save some room in your luggage and we might be able to find a few sheets of veneer that will fit in.

The Cessna’s got a great baggage area! There’s even an optional seat I could stick back there.

Wanna’ buy a Beech Sundowner? I still have it! <g>
