I checked out your projects and they are all great. Sometimes I get jealous seeing all the nice wood everyone els uses because I never buy any wood and only use what I have milled. O well, maybe some day.

Thanks so much for your comment on my project. You asked if I ever do anything small, the smallest thing I could ever remember doing was turning wooden pens. Most of what I do is for the company I work for and most of those jobs seem to be on the large side. My brother-in-law does woodworking also and he likes small projects so this keeps peace in the family.

no there wasn’t a special tool involved, just the standard tool that come with the lathe or a kit you purchase. It wasn’t as tricky as it looks, it just requires a little bravery and patience.

Yes I do use those “figure eight things”. They work perfectly to deal with wood movement, are inexpensive, and no hassle to mount. I use a forstner bit to make a nice receptacle on the top of the side stretchers. I have tables that are years old with these mounts with no problems. I use them on all my tables.

rikkor,

  • “Pointy zippy” is a screw that is used to fasten metal framing members in wall construction when using light guage metals, Heavier guage metals use screws nicknamed “self-tapping zippies*”
    (the screws are actually about 7/16” long)

Thanks for the welcome. I’m a member of many online communities and this is the first time I’ve had so many different people actually welcome a new member. I’ve only recently discovered the site and I’ve already found it very useful for a novice woodworker. This site seems like a fantastic community and I can’t wait to join in with questions, projects and someday insight.

Thanks,

Pat

wow, the parlor guitar looks great. I am a big fan of parlor guitars. I have a few larivee parlor models in my studio, most rosewood back and sides. I love them. I like to record with the smaller bodies, the sound is more focused. With the right mic it can sound amazing, both in a dense mix and with a smaller arrangement as well.
