 UpdateWell, you asked and now I will reveal how Kinnley and I did at the county fair…..drum roll please….............. I got a Second place for my cutting board and a third place for my serving tray. So a red and white ribbon and made $12. I guess that makes me an “award winning” wood worker…...lol yea right. Kinnley won a third place (white ribbon) for her blue boat with pink sail…...she won $5 and boy is she stoked. Again, I can’t thank yo... OUCH.....THAT HURTSSorry, it’s not as bad as the title sounds. I got bit…..buy the plane buying bug. LOML wanted to run to the flea market to pick up some new flea’s. Just kidding, she wanted to pick up a new tree to plant in the hole in the back yard from the one that I planted last year that the dogs dug up sooooo many times that they killed. Well we looked and wanted to walk around an talk about what we saw. So as we were walking and talking, I spied a table with 2 planes on it. OLD W...  Tool thoughts #2: Doors!Howdy folks, got a little more progress on the shop this weekend. It’s been a long project, and I’m far from done. This weekend was spent avoiding the last summer blast of heat, and hanging the doors on the shop… This may seem like a small step, but for me it marks when I can truly start moving in equipment and stuff into the shop. Starting to get a little crowded in there, but that’s the nature of the beast… at only 240 sq ft I’ll be doing...  RAS Cabinet #3: Getting started with the caseAs previously posted, I had worked out the details to my RAS cabinet using Sketchup. I started working on the cabinet this weekend and the reality of my previous work objected to the finest of my plans. With the miter bench not being sqaure, I have going to have to adjust my plans for the RAS cabinet. I am going to have to take an inch off of the width of the cabinet and the torsion box. This is so I can make the cabinet square. I will then have to set the cabinet into its place and scibe ...  Setting Up Shop #2: Raw materialsI started out with a fairly hefty workbench from the house’s previous owner, but it’s in a place not appropriate for a woodshop, and it’s not easy to move to where I do want my shop (the garage). Given that the space that it’s in is my main art studio, and it’s useful for that, I decided to leave it there and come up with a different bench for my woodwork.The space I had available…well, let’s call it available in theory, as at the time I decided to se...  Album Art #6With the start of school coming and the constant work with my band I hope to get another woodburning piece in before the end of summer. I planning on doing a Black Sabbath one or maybe a Guns n Roses one. I’m once again to ideas and suggestion. Dragonforce’s new album hits August 26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat  Prairie Settle Sectional #4: Milling Begins!I stopped into Lakeshore Hardwoods in Pulaski, NY on Friday and picked up about 35 bf of QSWO to begin this project. They have a fantastic inventory, and the folks there are extremely helpful. Do visit them, if you get chance. Ah, there is something wonderful about preparing the first pieces for a new project. I don’t yet have a jointer, so I handplane flat one face, then dimension the piece in the surface planer. Next, I joint one edge with my Stanley 7C, then rip to width. Below is... Prairie Settle Sectional #3: Linking Stretchers - Advice Please!!Ok. One of the things I’ve asked myself when designing this project is, “How are stretchers linked together?” In particular, I wondered how to handle intersections of three and four stretchers. I didn’t include this in the initial drawings, because I expected to add the details later. We call this “hand waving” in computer science. Anyway, the time has come to nail this down, so to speak. I have an idea that I think will work, but I would appreciate hear... Prairie Settle Sectional #2: Design RevisionI didn’t realize it had been so long since I posted my last entry. Well, life takes over, I guess. Anyway, there is some more progress to report. About a month ago, I was looking for uphostery foam online when I realized there was a problem with my design. A standard sofa cushion is about 24” square, but mine weren’t. I would save a great deal on the foam if I modified my design for this size cushion. So, the new version can be seen below. The overall theme is the same, b...  JUST MARRIED (UPDATED -> Photos)Yesterday was our special day and everything was just GREAT!
