Weekend doin's?
Good Friday morning all,
I've been going so fast I about blew right by this morning. This will be a good weekend for me even though it won't involve woodworking. We are leaving this afternoon for a cabin on an Arkansas mountaintop. No phones!!!!!
What's in your plans for the weekend? Any sawdust?
Please be sure to keep Jeff Hamilton's daughter in your prayers this weekend?
Have a great weekend all!

I plan on finishing up the last of the pens I have to make for the FPP and that should do me for the weekend.

Wel, I get to make the table for my new Delta 17-968 drill press. After that, I'm starting on an important project: a kneeling bench for my wedding in April. Oh, and since the weather is pristine, I'll get some road miles in on my bicycle too.

Headin' to the "Tool Crib of the North" in Duluth to pick up: Porter Cable plate jointer, Porter Cable 7116 dovetail jig, Porter Cable 552 pocket screw machine, Delta 965 drill press, Milwaukee 6010-6 pad sander, Bosch 3727 DVS finish sander, some Bessey K clamps, a set of Forstner Bits, Freud dado head, and possibly a power feeder. That will just about take care of what I have left in my Shop Loan Stash. Any comments on any of the above tools will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. By making a package deal & shopping around I'm saving $420. Thats my drill press paid for.

I'll be in the shop working on a new batch of marking knives and some other tools which are partially done. I also have to drop SWMBO off at her sister's tomorrow for the limo ride with other family members to the airport. I'm going to be a bachelor next week while she and her siblings go to Ft Lauderdale for the week to vist other family, golf, sun themselves and vacation. I will take a few days off while she's gone to do some painting and other house upgrades to surprise her when she comes back.
Sunday will be gathering project supplies for the week and more shop time to prepare for my tool making presentation at the April guild meeting. I'm in the process of cleaning up, sharpening, and prepping 31 more marking knife blades which already have rough ground bevels and have been heat treated. No rest for the wicked.

Mill up some rough Oak, cut, stain and clear them for my daughter's room. (No big deal...Just slats for a wall grid LOML dreamed up.) Try and chuck up another Black Locust blank for a bowl. Buddy coming over Sunday to work on his old solid-body bass guitar. Dig up some more material for pen blanks. Have a great weekend all and be safe!

I will be working on the Adirondack Chairs this weekend and Glenn and I completed the chair that we call "the midget chair" since we had to size one down just for his wife. Hopefully, this weekend, I can get the "normal" sized chairs started on the assembly process.
Be safe this weekend and keep all your fingers.!!!!!!
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,
