Microcosms, a trip to a smaller world #2: Micro-Banding

Paul, You are a nut and a half. This is pretty amazing. I was in the shop this afternoon trying to come up with a glue-up to make some banding/inlay detail in a trunk I am making for my grand-daughter. You’ve inspired me. Afterall it’s in the details that sets things apart.

It doesn’t look like you are bored to me. More like experimental woodworking…....... testing the boundaries.

Makes me smile to see this!!

That is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. How are you able to do such tiny work? Amazing!

I am smiling from ear to ear.

You have a very nice mind Paul. Playing with such brain is a delight to watch.

I do kind of feel sorry for the corn, sitting there all by itself.

Thanks for the inspiration,
Steve

Thank you for sharing your boredom? / imagination with us. From big beautiful sailing boats to boxes too
small to hold a kernel of corn, you do cover a lot of territory. Thank you for being such a wonder guide,
even if you can not wait for us to catch up (that will take years) you have shown us a very wonderful
path to follow. Thank you once again for sharing.

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at the lumber yard when you bought the wood for that project Paul :-)

Actually the way lumber prices are going, we might all be making these soon!

Thanks for posting.

Absolutely wonderful, Paul. I like the canny method you used on the base. The lipping method is very clever as well. I wouldn’t worry about the corn, I couldn’t fit the quarter into mine.
