We're heading your way tomorrow, Dennis. We'll see what we can scare up while we're there.
Thanks for checking this out, Dennis. We're looking forward to visiting your area.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm sure I'll see some of the things that Mike referenced, but I doubt that they would want to part with much of that.
I'll also check with the travel company that...
We're going to Nassau, Bahamas in about 3 weeks and would like to bring home some wood tht is native to that area to use as pen blanks or other small items. Does anyone know what species are native...
I thought I heard or read somewhere that I could mount the motor and impellor of my Jet 1100 dust collectors so that the intake is pointing up instead of out as it came from the factory.
Can...
Ceiling is around 7.5 feet. The shop is a separate building with two additional 12 x 48' storage areas.
Working on a greeting/information table/cabinet for the church. It's about 9' long x 20" deep. Raised panels all around. I have to hav it installed by Oct 2. Nothing like a fast approaching...
Mine arrived earlier this week too. They are very beautiful. Luckily for me, I do have several Pen Kits that are not yet glued up. I hope to try some this weekend.
I hope to finish...
Thanks to Bethlehem Olivewood and Sawmill Creek for this wonderful opportunity. I hope I can do them justice.
I got my Ipe pieces tonight. They look like they should make some nice Freedom pens. I didn't have much time to mess with them tonight, but I did get one blank cut, drilled, and glued so I can try...
Congratulations Terry. I know you will do them all the justice they deserve.
Tonight Amanda (our 10 year old daughter) and Michael (our 9 year old son) did a demonstration at their 4-H club meeting. They showed how to make pens and talked about the Freedom Pen Project. They...
I've done them both ways. I have now settled on not pre-staining them. I just put plenty of stain and try to work it into the edges of the panel as well as I can. I usually check my panels a...
I've made several cabinets with raised panel ends. Some of them with one, some two, some four, and some of them with 6 raised panels. I have always made the raised panel section be the actual end...
If the blanks are thick enough and you use a barrel trimmer, you can "make do" with a little bit wandering. I sometimes have to let the bit enter slightly off center to be sure that it doesn't exit...
I always wear disposable blue nitrile gloves and still manage to get it on myself. I gave up on using a glue brush and spread it with my finger. I usually end up with it all over my blanks and my...
I just saw in the local classified ads that a guy down the road has some walnut and Pecan to sell. I assume he probably had to take them down when he built his new home in the woods. Hou guys have...
Very nice, Terry. How much of the stuff on display at the Peoria Woodcraft is your work?
We recently tried Wipe-On Poly for the first time on a small project that is made of Maple and Walnut. The maple part looks really good, but the finish on the walnut part is still sticky after 4...
I've been there a couple of times. They've been nothing but helpful.
My shop is a completely remodeled old hog barn with a hay loft on top. It's 32x48 plus a separate room for dust collection and extra wood storage. The downside is low ceilings and a few posts in...
How does old growth walnut differ in looks from typical walnut?
I have no idea about the animal claws as ours are all outside animals, but our fairly new Natuzzi chair and sofa and the La Z Boy recliner are wonderful. Very comfortable and easy to clean and care...
In San Diego -
Lego Land if your kids are the right age
Point Loma
Sea World
Moo Town Creamery on Coronado (probably the best Ice cream shop I've ever visited)
My dad had a Jet 1.5 hp shaper ordered for many months and finally cancelled his order. It seems Jet is having trouble getting them made and/or shipped. Sounds familiar, as I recently purchased a...
