"I am …."

1. "a galoot" - give me hand tools and I'm happy

3. "a mixer" - just get the job done, whether it's hand or power tools

I would have to decide if I'm going to want to take it off again or wood movement. I.E. Table top to a base

I've also used screws where it's outdoor and I want something that's going to be waterproof.

re: Project Photos

So you've finished your project and are ready to post it on the LumberJocks' site….

How much effort do you put into the photo(s)?

1) I just "get 'er done" ... snap, snap, snap

2) I at least clean off the workbench before taking the photo-I try to take a good, clear, uncluttered photo

3) I go all out - I plan the background for the photo, I get the perfect lighting - I want my projects AND photos to look as professional as possible

Challenges

Sometimes things go together smoothly and skills are picked up quickly….

... and then there are those personal challenges that just seem to take forever to get through.

What is/has been the most challenging part of woodworking for you?

a) Whatever I can get my hands on. Quartersawn white oak would be near the top as well as cherry and black walnut but these cost so much that they are out of the question for anything except small projects. Oh the coast live oak is up on top also and…

b) This is the hardest question for each piece of wood has its own beauty and is enhanced by what it is fashioned into.

To be able to answer these two questions fairly I would like to work all the different woods of the world, many times! ; )

I don't use it as a final finish, but apply it over the oil/varnish finish that I use, to help protect the finish, especially on table tops. I use wax on most of the pieces I make, especially the ones that I ship out. The wax protects the finish by allowing the packing materials to move, if need be. Once the piece is unpacked the new customer is able to get acquainted with their new furniture by buffing out the wax.
