Sorry for the delays. Late March though all of May is very busy for me and have not gotten any shop time. :( I was in Boston last week, Memphis this week, and will be in Sacramento this weekend. That is on top of two birthdays, Mothers Day, my Wedding Anniversary, the end of the school year, plus all of the end of school year activities….alas it is almost over and I can get back to butchering wood….
Finally getting back to the guitar project…I’ve done some more work toward bringing the top and the sides together. Things are coming along. Take a look at my recent post for details. Thanks for reading!
A freind of my mom’s has decided to start using a computer to comunicate with her family. Enaine is in her 80’s and has never user a computer before. I have been helping her along with tutoring lessions and equipment installation. I help select a laptop and Multi function printer for her. She want to put the computer in her small sitting/TV room. Her old desk that she has in that room is wholy unsuted for computer use. So, I started looking for a suteable desk for her. Th...
I had to teach myself a bit of sketch-up to get his plan off the ground thanks to the felllas that chipped in to make the learning curve a bit shorter.I’m no good at sketchup but I have managed to get a drawing (stick frame) that represents what I want to do with the shop. This version of the shop comes about after trying to get the city here to approve my use of about 4 feet of their property. -No luck. So we will build the shed at 18 feet wide and add a lean to to the side on the ...
Well, in case some of you hadn’t guessed, I didn’t make the deadline. Oh well, I’ll still have a great wine rack to sell when it’s done. Thought I’d post the progress up to this point. I’m going to put this on the shelf for a while as I need to try to make a living here. Yes, I’ll keep y’all posted when I pick it up again. Here is the steam/lamination setup. Again, as they say, you can never have too many clamps.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
After a long time of being latheless I finally found a control module, thanks to Karson, for 159.00 dollars to replace the factory module that is no longer made, stocked, stored, or to be found, in the US or Canada, to fit my Delta model 46-765X lathe. It’s been close to a year that I’ve been looking and following leads, looking for a factory replacement for my lathe. There was’nt one to be found. Karson, had given me a couple of sources of replacement parts that he said wou...
Having a busy schedule and a 2 yr old does not lend itself to significant shop time. I finally took a couple half days and got some work done. Working out of my garage with a requirement that cars have to go back in at the end of the day limits the amount of work I can bite-off at any one time. My intention was to get the birch ply first and build the chassis, then go back for the MDF and build the drawers, doors, top and back. However, when I get to the local HD they have one delaminated...
After the Circus Train I wanted to make a regular train. Band saw and drill press are the tools used, step one: Then a few coats of milk based paint (blue, black and red) and acrylic (orange and green). I like the milk paints, go on nice and cover well and have a smooth finish. Now to design some of my own using this style. I also need to find a better way to cut wheels, I may use dowels rather than cutting the out with a hole saw.
Hey everyone, Today I talk about the design of the top of my armoire, and i have got to say that i am pretty proud of it.

Well after about four months I finely get a chance to make use of my shop. I have begun to work on my jewelry box once again. I started in january and got distracted by the huge shop renovation. Well here it is. I believe that it turned out better than expected. This was my fist attempt at veneering and I think that I did very well. It turned out great. I fist took a peice of poplar and milled it flat and then used two peices of 1/4 ply to work as calls and put about ten diffrent types of cla...
