Having seen your boards, this will be no small feat. It will be fun watching your inventory grow. Production work takes a special kind of discipline.

You can do it!!!!
Every one will be a true Lazy Larry or Lazy Larry take off!
I’m waiting with baited breath (can you see those worms!!)

Hi I wondered what you meant by boards ,now I see it’s cutting boards well done Alistair

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

lets see… 14 boards in 1 day… 11 days for 150 boards… what are you going to do the rest of the time?

good luck and do the cutting when you are fresh at the beginning of the day.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

At first I had a similar though as did Alistair. I don’t think that I could get 50 individual boards ready in that time frame much less 50 cutting boards. This is certainly going to be an interesting challenge to watch but if anyone on here can do it you can, Larry.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

be very careful … also booze and woodworking do not mix well

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Congrats on the invitation! You’re becoming a living legend:-)) Go Larry, Go!! How about taking 50 lazy larrys too? :-))

Congrats Larry.

you can do it Larry, you are the best board maker I know , but if you don’t, now this is your challenge to yourself, if you don’t, you must wear the short red dress to the woodworking show, so, now you have some incentive, get to work.

-- Smitty!!!

Thats a lot of wood and a lot of glue!!!! I’m sure you can do it… no worries!

-- I'm not here for your amusement. You're here for mine - Johnny Rotten

C’mon. He’s got the Torque Master. He can smooth 15 at one setting. Do a video at the same time for marketing purposes. He can be the Aussie David Marks or Scott Peterson.
Got cable down there? Larry the Cable Guy!

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Sawdust2, you mean Larry the Board Guy, right?

-- Smitty!!!

31 days in August, 30 in September- 150 boards in 61 days = 2.459 boards/day. No sweat for you Larry, it will also be good use of that stockpile of wood you got going on behind the workshop.
Go, Larry, Go…..we’re all cheering you on !!

-- I inherited the woodworking gene and it's gone into overdrive.......

Thank you all… especially sawdust2 aka Lee. I really like Larry the Cable Guy and to be compared with him is an honor!!!!!!
BTW it is a Torque Work Centre, big brother to the Router Master and son of the Slab Master.
David Marks, I admire, and am happy to be mentioned in the same sentence with him but who is the other guy. Red dress,,,,,Ok but I draw the line at fishnet stockings. lol

14 up and running and now am now dressing some more timber for the next 5 or so. Better start using some more of the European Wild Cherry.

this will sure be fun to watch

now time for the stupid question will all the boards be an original design (ie no 2 the same ) or is this just me being sadistic

Good luck with careful planning i beleive you will do this

PS have you not listened to the words to the song men dont thunder they …... (not polite for this forum)

-- Happiness is a way of travel , not a destination (Roy Goodman)

Hooky, as far as humanely [not humanly] possible I will be making all the boards somewhat unique. While the design may be similar the finished product will be different in size color grain timber etc. I envisage some where around 10 different styles and If I have time a few LLs thrown in for good measure.

Larry the Board Guy LMAO
PS thanks for all the support and good wishes from all..

You can handle it! No worries mate!

-- spanky46 -- Never enough clamps...Never enough tools...Never enough time.

You’ll need more than “Toucans for this project…LOL…Blkcherry

How many different designs Artisan Larry? Mind that never rests. Surely more than 10. That’s my personal challenge. Or not. You got your hand full enough buddy. Good luck. mike

wow 5 boards a day! i am averaging 1 1/2 a day when i can keep the shop under 100 deg.
i got a long way to
have you thought of making diping trays? you could make them fast on the new toy

This is going to be fun to watch!!! I have no doubt you can do this Larry as long as you stay away from the red dress!!!!!!!

-- If at first you don't succeed...Don't try skydiving

I have tried to make by first two boards this week. That is first two ever, not first two this week. It was a bit of a learning experience. My first one went from a small bread board to a large cheese board as bits did not stick properly. But it worked in the end and will be quite nice.
The second was a disaster. After two days of work, I had a decision to make. Start again and relegate the mess I had created to the fire place, or try and fix what I had done. We had a very warm glow in the fire place that night. I will start again tomorrow.

Cheers

-- Life is about solving problems and trying not to be the cause of those problems in the first place

I believe in you , Mate !!
Don’t forget to get enough rest in between boards so that no injuries occur : )

-- You know you're getting old when you know the difference between you're (you are) and your (belonging to you) AND how to use them in a sentence .

Whew! I get tired just thinking about your normal production pace not to mention speeding it up. But if anybody can do it I know you can Larry. Full speed ahead!
