    New to the Creek and a project

    Hello all, I was pointed here to the creek by a friend. I have enjoyed reading many of the posts here and thought it was about time for me to post a thread. Here is a project I started today for a buddy of mine. He supplied the wood and I supplied the shop and labor. He would have done this himself but he cannot find the time. I'm just happy to get back into the shop after a couple weeks of down time. Hope you like and thanks.

    Lamar

    Here is the progress of the project I have been working on.

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Evenin' Lamar and welcome:

    As a "Rounder", your presentation almost makes me want to do some Flat Board work.

    Maybe later, I have tooooooooooooooooooooo many rounder chunks out there right now.

    Again, welcome - looking like a very nice project.

    Hey Lamar, really glad for you to have joined us! As the others have already indicated, looks to me like you may have a fair amount of wisdom to share! Looks to be a great project in progress and the manner in which you're presenting it is a tutorial in and of itself! Splendid job! Hope to see you around these parts more often. Like I always say, come often, stay long...And keep those pictures comin'!
    Cheers,
    John K. Miliunas

    Welcome to the Creek Lamar. You'll find it a great place to hang out. Sometimes it's too great as it is easier to get your woodworking fix hangin out here instead of working in the 'shop.
