A really tough client this time!

Careful Lee, you could be walking into a trap. The wife units are great at springing these at the most inopportune times. I detect danger. This is going to end up in ‘her’ house, right?

Keep us posted, Lee. After we get moved into the house, I have to get a new flat screen and make a cabinet for it. Ours is going in the corner, but I haven’t even started on an idea for it yet.

Good luck Lee.

Do you want me to give her a call Lee. I think I’m up to it.

But if I remember correctly, she hit you the last time I was talking to you. I think that was a Christmas tree Purchase.

By the way the picture is here.

By the way Lee if you start looking for a trade, make sure the new one can cook as well as the “Greek Lady” you currently have. I mean she had fed us some great food for two LumberJock picnics and I think we should have a part in the discussion.

We’ll talk at the picnic!

We haven’t seen any pictures. has your wife taken the camera.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

BP Barry apparently has pictorial and video resources beyond the normal mortal. The doghouse movie is a classic, and the guy mooning in commado pants (really) with a rainbow exiting his posterior was used very effectively here.

Good luck Brother Lee (we hardly knew ye) Jesberger. At least it’s new construction. I’ve been ordered to retro-fit drawers and F&P doors on a bathroom vanity that judging from the shoddy pocket hole construction, no-mortise overlay hinges and false front drawers will be not particular plumb nor square. All other work must be halted…Ewwww.

Hi Guys;

I’m fine and I am under no duress to say that.

I’ve been keeping busy but still working on the project.

I figured I would post it when I finished it.

But in the mean time I’ve been loading play by play on my website:

Lee I guess the solution to your Satinwood phobia is in the middle of the job drink a couple of beers and then take a nap.

It seems to have worked this time.

The second picture on pg four doesn’t work.

Hi Karson;

I am beginning to believe it is not satinwood, as in satin material, but satin wood as in the devil.

This stuff is just plain mean.

Like a beautiful women you just love to look at, but can’t get along with!

Hi Barry;

Yeah, I’m having fun. My son has been taking up interest in being in the shop with me, which is great, but I end up watching / guiding him, instead of working on the cabinet. I’m getting in trouble with the Mrs.

Last night she came out to the shop, and was complaining about how long it’s taking! She’s like a regular client, but without the money.

As my buddy Bruce used to say: Women, can’t live with them, pass the beer nuts.

Lee : I’ve got some satinwood veneer at home. I guess I need to try it. I was always looking for the perfect project. Maybe a hall table for the Mrs.

The contuinue to page 5 link on your prowoodworking link (p 4) is a link back to page 4. It does’t go to page 5.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Thanks Karson;

I’m thinking that maybe my veneer is too dry, therefore the problems I’ve had with it. What keeps me from being convinced of that, is it has cracked several days after being installed, which would suggest that the moisture in the glue is expanding the veneer, and then drying out several days later, causing it to rip.

I’m going to do a little experiment when I veneer the curved doors. If it’s successful, I’ll let you know.

It is a difficult veneer in that it has a tendency to follow the curly grain along the edge. Ends up being a scalloped cut.

Cutting long pieces in a sandwich of plywood works well in one direction only. You have to feed it using the same rules as jointing a board. Cutting the opposite direction results in a very badly chipped edge.

I didn’t build page five yet. I only spent an hour or two in the shop this weekend.

About the only thing I got done was to remove the veneer on the round ends of the top. Design change, which I just couldn’t resist.

I also built forms to make the curved doors. The will act as both the form and jig to trim them to the correct size, with the proper angles on the edges.

Well, that about covers the details on the home front.

Talk soon;

Lee
