One more for your list Karson – the bandsaw.

Hmmmm. I wondering if I should buy some wood or start a pool to pick the winner.

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

buy the wood
start building!!
go now
do not pass go…
just go

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Tony: You are correct because I sent an Email to Donna Menke to tell her that I was expecting a Bandsawed table and I forgot about you. Sorry.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I guess I’ll have to rummage around amongst all of my scrapwood, & see if I can find a Hunnert Dollar Board.
I might even have enough Barnwood to make a fancy table

the wheels are turning!!! Everyone is thinkin (except for Obi and Karson who have their tables half built already) hehehee

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Debbie: I changed course. I’m back at the beginning. I’ve been rummaging through the barn to find my ”Hunnert Dollar Board”. I may have found a couple of candidates after uloading about 300 BD ft of wood to select them.

File flat we said; they stay straight that way. But, to get to the bottom you have to move a lot of wood.

Of course I’ll finish the table that I’m ”half finished” you say because, the wood is all cut. It will be posted on the LJ site.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

it’s cut – isn’t that 1/2 done??? too funny.

maybe we need to attach a rotating machine to our piles of wood .. because everything we want is ALWAYS on the bottom.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

HUNNERD

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Of course it’s on the bottom. Not only is it Murphy’s Law, but that’s where the flattest boards are!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

We could always make the last items on our list first, so when we get to the top item it’s wood be uncovered.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Perhaps, but Murphy’s Law is recursive, washing your car to make it rain doesn’t work. ;)

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

The hunnerd dollar board was the last board purchased. The rest of you can use scraps, and stuff from the bottom of the pile if you wish. Me? I’m planning on selling these tables, so I’m going to make them nice. And if y’all remember the pictures of the shop, there was no bottom.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

There you go… poors guys don’t have a chance against the guys with the money. I’m gonna have to glue up all my scraps to get the wood for this one( Just Kidding!) Aged lumber is the best lumber…kind of like wine. The bottom board is the sweetest.

-- Jesus is Lord!

Well I have 12 aged $100 boards from a 110 year old house. 5/4×14in wide. Micro-grained. Hum, and they are on top of the pile….

Jimmy

-- Jimmy

Jimmy.. I think the wood is talking to you :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Im going to use 2×4s

-- Phil, Chattanooga,TN

They may be Debbie. Now for removing the 100 yr old wallpaper….

Jimmy

-- Jimmy

that would be a different look for the table—pieces of wall paper still attached :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I bet the belt sander would take that wallpaper off !

I will not be using a hunnerd dollar board, but will find something that works. I see a trip to Aura this week.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

I hope I’m not the only member of the 30 and under club to throw their hat into the ring on this one. I ain’t skeered!!!

Good luck everyone.

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

I’m over 30 and I’m skeered!! :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

JP.
You have one up on us then, you can at least run faster !!

Glen has just posted nice write-up of our Challenge. Thanks Glen.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

isn’t that WONDERFUL.
We are going to have so many members within the next few months that you will have to adjust the page size just to fit the ”123,456,333 members” into the frame

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

JP,

I’m… oh, crap.

I’m 33.

Nevermind.

(Wow, that was embarassing…)

-- Ethan, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

HAHAHAHA , WAY TO GO ETHAN… A SENIOR MOMENT AT AGE 33

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I just realized that Debbie has a point. Nothing like a Nationally Publicized Challenge in a magazine like Popular Woodworking to boost membership. And you thought I was blowing smoke when I said 1000 by mid July.

One day I’ll earn a shirt.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

everyone needs to pitch in and get obi a t-shirt!!Ill thow in $1.00

-- Phil, Chattanooga,TN

You’ll get your shirt one day Obi. The Universe has spoken.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Glen: Thanks for the acknowledgement of our contest, and your and your magazine participation and support.

I know that there has been a lot of discussion among the LumberJocks about their plans. (but, that could be just blowing smoke to throw everyone off).

The competition is alive and well, and starting to make dust.

If you want to enter the competition, that would be OK. We’d like to see your interpretation.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Hey Rentman,
Do you think Obi’s worth a 532 Dollar T-shirt ???

-- -** You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream ****************** Dick, & Barb Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

I think Martin is smiling ear-to-ear again at the thought of that income!!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

A bit of information on the table challenge.

There are 2 PDF files that make up the total plans. One is the magazine article, and the other is the cutouts layout.

I found that you need to increase the print area 160 percent to get it full size. Of course it won’t print on 8 X 11 paper.

I took it to Staples and they reprinted mine on legal paper.

Hope this helps someone.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Yes, that is helpful to know you can get it on legal.

Thanks, Karson.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

I printed on my computer and had them increase it. The apron piece size is 12.25 by 5.75 and they had to move my copy around on their machine to get it to print the entire sheet.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

JImmy… I bet the interest you’ve accrued on your hunnerd dollar boards’ll make em worth a pretty penny (guessing approx 7 percent interest)

My boards may be just as old, if I go the FREE route. Or I may drop $100 (tax deductable if I put it in the Library auction) See if I can’t get all that money back for books and ? for the kids.

Ethan… right there with ya! nothing to be embarrased about (except for forgetting how non-descript our ages are) not 18 (vote), 21 (drink), 26 (cheaper insurance!!!) Not even a prime number. ;)

If Obi gets a 532 dollar shirt, be impervious to coffee stains and never wrinkle. Plus it would help with sanding and help point out the next Hunnerd Dollar board. That, or he can have one for everyday of the week (or every color of wood to help hide the sawdust)

Great Posting Martin, looks like a lot of fun. Count me in, I’ve been wanting to get a PW subscription, it is amazing that Glen is wanting to support this Challenge so strongly, a good reason to subscribe, even if a lumberjock doesn’t participate in the Thorsen Challenge.

Great idea Karson & Obi, thanks for the hard work Martin!

Mark

-- Mark DeCou - American Contemporary Craft Artisan - www.decoustudio.com

This is such a great contest for everyone all around!

At first I was shocked that they’d be willing to offer up so many free subscriptions, but to convert some of us to regular subscribers, and of course an extra 500 pairs of eyeballs sounds really good to the ad sales dept!

Funny the work we’ll do for a free magazine, where it would be so much cheaper to just fill out the reply card. We lumberjocks are a funny bunch.
Committed, or perhaps we should be?

Nah !! Just a bunch of tightwads!!

My original comment to Karson to do this table was just because I wanted to do it. I didn’t expect this to turn into a world-wide challenge.

Karson, I had no problems printing the copy of the cut list. Acrobat reader asked me if I wanted to print the page and I said yes. Printed it out rather nicely.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Obi:

I have IE 7 on my machine and one of the changes that they made was to get all of a screen page on a paper page. Under IE 6 it quite often lost the end of lines when printing.

Now they drop to a smaller font to get all of the info printed on a line.

It maybe for that reason that my page was smaller than a IE6 page is.

id you use IE or Fox?

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I was using acrobat reader. I never save from a website.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Obi When I printed the page I got a printout that each box was 5/8 of an inch, and the total printed area was 8 1/8”. It is suppose to be 13 inches long.

What did you get

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

My mistake… I printed the third page of the Article. For all the fancy stuff I do it as I go along. I don’t want a replica I want my version of the table. My aprons are going to be different and my shelf is going to be different. Oh and my selection of wood is different and my size is different.

I didn’t want to get sued by Green and Green or Popular Woodworking for copyright laws or something stupid and get sued for royalties, so I decided that I’m going to turn it into a chair instead. With a stool that reclines.

I don’t think I’m even going to enter the contest

I’m not good enough

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

obi you started this hole thing you got to enter

-- Phil, Chattanooga,TN

That’s Awesome Obi ;) (laughing)

Earlier back in the last string about this project Karson? suggested we make ANYTHING and call it a G&G side table.

Obi can make his recliner, I’ll make a screwdriver, or a box. Debbie can make hers out of leather. Philly will make a nice G&G plane….

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

No, Phil. I have to build two tables, I don’t have to enter anything …. I’m the Obi-man.

And are you kidding? For an opportunity to have my work as posted in Popular Woodworking Magazine?

I’d make several just for one to make it.

That’s like my validation.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Atta Boy Obi !!

The contest would be a failure without your entry.

Besides that, I’m planning on beating you. LOL

-- -** You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream ****************** Dick, & Barb Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

I just did a search and stumbled over this

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Here is a picture of the original table from the Thorsen House.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Thanks for those links. GORGEOUS stuff! Inspirations galore!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

That is one serious desk, Obi. I took a look for a few and had to leave the site to come back later. I should be inspired but it was a little intimidating in comparison to the table. :-/

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Caliper… THAT is the bar in which I desire to achieve. Did you see the price? Over $10,000.00 and I’m sure the Greene Brothers would be proud to call it one of their own.

All of my stuff up until now (well most of it) has now been re-classified as … “firewood”.

This PW-LJ table challenge is the best thing for me, and although I have no intentions of winning, I WILL get another year of PW.

GREAT JOB ON THE HOMEWORK KARSON !!! I’M IMPRESSED.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Agreed, Obi. It is a good standard to which one can aspire. What makes that guy any better than me other than he DID it and I’m talking about doing. Or, rather, being a weenie about it. Thanks for the perspective.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Want perspective??? They are only sticks. Cut, sanded, glued, doweled, and finished. Piece of cake.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I’d like to see a piece of cake made out of sticks…. oh wait… I guess you could use sticks of butter…. how do you sand and glue butter?

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

After this contest there’ll be so many Greene, & Greene tables out there, the market will be flooded.

-- -** You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream ****************** Dick, & Barb Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

I bet another challenge is in the wings as well. Maybe an Arts & Craft style chest of some kind?

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

that’s a great idea Bill
not only giving the LJ’s something to get “giddy” about but also challenging people to take their skills to a new level.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I cut 8 sticks and then I cut 4 more sticks and then I cut two sticks

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I got the wood for the table today. Now all I need is some free time. That’s easier said than done. My girlfriend wouldn’t be too happy if I started this table before I finished her wine cabinet.

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

All you have to do is cut four legs and put them to the side… wait a few days and cut the boards for the table top and set them to the side… wait a few days and when she isn’t looking, glue them together and set it aside… wait a few days and then cut the aprons and set them aside… etc…

If your girlfriend/wife/significant other isn’t in the shop with you all the time, plan your cuts and glue ups when she isn’t there and let them sit over night.

Act like she’s the boss and you’re trying to get out of the job your supposed to be doing so you can play solitaire on the company computer.

Sometimes I think I have to teach all of you all the tricks I’ve learned over the years.

Sheesh.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Well then Obi, how come you don’t have time to finish yours?

Hoping all is well in the selling front.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Who said my table only had four legs??? Thanks for the “sneaky” advice. Maybe… just maybe… with lots of practice… I’ll be as sneaky as Obi. :)

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

I haven’t built much as I am still learning, but hey, why not.

Welcome to the challenge! and to Lumberjocks!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

Interesting JP…a Thorsen Table with more than 4 legs…hmm.. Maybe you can make a dining room table and call it the Thorsen interpretation? haha

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Silly me, I instantly thought of three legs… or maybe two… with Greene & Greene feet

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Karson, I don’t remember saying I couldn’t finish it (but maybe I’m getting old and forgot), but maybe I’m just saying that, so that you guys won’t know what hit you, til just before the final day, and then BANG! there’s Obi’s table.

I think I said “I don’t think I’m even going to enter the contest, I’m not good enough”

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Hay Obi:

Be careful, maybe the server will be down and you won’t get to post it. It would be a shame for me to win by default, because you weren’t in the contest.

You remember, It was just you and I for a while.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Well Karson, after the coffee table, I’ve decided it’s only me. I’ve proven to myself that i can do good enough to compete, but I don’t have to compete with others when I’m my hardest critic. As long as I am pleased with the results, then it’s all good.

I also need to make sure I don’t get all prideful and huffy… it’s bad enough that i look as good as I do… HAW-HAW-HAW !!

Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble… (Sing-along ever-body)

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Well I guess I’ll try to build this table to my standards.

-- robert heisler

Hmmmm… that gives me an idea, Obi. How about a Lumberjocks calendar? Do you think you look good enough to make the cover? Oh wait… you’d have to wear a LJ shirt for the photos…. I guess you’re out. Tell you what…if we can make this calendar idea a reality then I’ll buy you a shirt. What do you think?

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

I’m in for participating in the LJ calendar. Martin will have to ge a bunch of dates down for contests. etc.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Hey Karson, how did you find the original? I’d really like to look at some of Greene & Greene’s originals.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Glad you suggested the LJ shirts, I was afraid we’d be doing one of those Au naturale calendars ;~)

Oh! Ethan could wear his kilt!

It’s here

Man, that was quite a tour….I’m going to turn into Greene & Greene… Now there’s an addiction.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I’d do that, Scott. Wouldn’t even need a dare, either.

Oh, did you mean my Campbell tartan kilt? Or my Workman’s Utilikilt (it has enough pockets to hold a whole 6-pack of Guinness bottles!)?

I could always just use the picture of me with David Marks.

On the other hand… maybe I’d use the picture of me with Frank Klausz I’ll have taken THIS NEXT WEEKEND!

That’s right, folks, no ice-on-the-wings excuses THIS time! And, once again, I was invited to join a few of the other guild members and Frank for dinner tomorrow night. Can’t wait!

I tell ya, Karson… she’s fabulous! She knows what kind of an opportunity it is and doesn’t want me to miss it.

She doesn’t mind the Saturday and Sunday thing; she’s going out of town for work on Saturday morning and won’t be back until the following Friday.

Maybe I can find some time in there to work on my Thorsen challenge?

-- Ethan, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

It’s nice to have support on the woodworking front. You can slip a few extras in as the need arises.

Hi all I am new here look forward to seeing what everyone come up with on this challenge. I am gonna build something not sure it will compare to most of your work. I have enjoyed looking at what some of you have done. I will post pics of what I come up with.

PS . How do I sign up for this.

-- JohnShackleford,North Carolina

Shack…Welcome to the shop.
To enter you make a table and say “This is My Thorsen Table Entry” and post some pictures of it.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Have fun meeting with Frank Klausz, Ethan. I look forward to your blog on that.

Say, I’ve heard of a ‘Utilikilt’ on a public radio news bit. Can you post a pic of it or link to an online site/story. It sounded really cool to me. Thanks.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

I”ve googled the utilikilt… a friend of mine also has one, wears it to the annual Highland games, and loves it. I must say I’m intrigued… don’t know if I’d wear one or not, not exactly cheap so it doesn’t matter just yet… but maybe when my daughter starts bringing boys home, I could wear one while chopping firewood!

In the interim, anyone have a pdf of the plans to e-mail to Joe? I have the original magazine article, I can’t seem to find the pdf I had previously.

it’s now officially down to 1 month left and we currently have 8 tables tagged with challenge01. I think we are going to be pretty darned busy over the next few weeks as the other 838 entries get posted!!!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

That’s assuming that everyone only builds one table…. :)

-- JP, Shelbyville, KY

Thanks for pointing to the problem with downloading the plans. The guys over at Box.net has changed their application and it seems like the upgrade caused the problem so I’ve just readded both PDF files there and it seems to work now.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

What time is it due? Exactly and what time zone? How much time do I have left?

And when is the winner going to be posted?
And when is the next challenge going to start?
And are we going to do an annual magazine challenge?
