Can’t … don’t have any pictures yet. Besides I’m still working on the Hickory/Walnut Coffee Table.

How much longer on the hickory/Walnut table? This is the top for the Goncalo Alves Table

Let’s see…. tomorrow I sand the table top, sand the raised panel faces… oil the panels, oil the table again and then take it up North to do the finish and attach the top, I should be finished sometime next week, and then I’ll post them.

And then I can get started on the … Coffee Cart, the 3 Gun Carts and the Medicine Cabinet

Busy, Busy, Busy…. It is good to be busy.

Go for the money Obi.

it’s a good thing when you have lots of projects!
projects = income = shop, tools, wood, oh and food

I’m glad to hear that you’re busy, but try to squeeze in that table between jobs. After all your the main man, or the originator of this contest.

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

Should be about 67 days left… Due Date is 5/31 isn’t it?

I believe you are corrrect. I don’t know that I’ve seen a cutoff time like we had in the Winter Contest.

Sounds right. Come on now Obi… a lumberjock should be able to finish a coffee and build a coffee cart, 3 gun carts, a medicine cabinet and a Greene and Greene side table (interpretation) in 64 and 3/4 days…. tops. You’re not getting out of it that easy.

I was not aware of that. No wonder he’s so upset about it. I just ordered another one for myself. I plan on wearing it to the next Kentuckiana Woodcrafters Club meeting so I can spread the word to my fellow woodworkers here in the Bluegrass State about this wonderful site and contest.

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

Looks like someone else won that Rockler/Powermatic drawing. Sorry Obi.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

No, Bill. That was the third one… there’s one more

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Ok, so we are both still in the running. I would be happy just to have the tablesaw and the bandsaw.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Wanna see my wood?

oh look at that beautiful wood – oh yes… love the light/dark combo.. Yup

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Nice job Obi. It looks like you might finish first.

That isn’t even the table, that was just a bunch of sticks laying around the shop that I sat on the table saw

Hmm..bait and switch Obi? kidding…probably just trying to throw us off the trail and surprise us with a table soon.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Bait and switch is illegal, Bill. It’s just some sticks I cut.

Just to let you all know that i haven’t died or quit, I just finished the Gun Cart, coffee table is done, and I cut the aprons for the challenge and then didnt like them so I need to cut more. I’ve got legs in the shop and Dennis, you’ll like my legs, Buddy ;).

I still need to get into the shop, but I think I’ll do a little work on the table Friday and Saturday if posible. I need to mortise the legs, tenoon the aprons, cut the shelf and the stretchers, and maybe I’ll spray some shiney stuff on the table top.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)
