Weekend Projects

>Been awhile hasn't it? Well I am back from vacation and am going to get some serious shop time. I hope to tsart glueing up the bar this weekend. I also hope to get 4-5 drawers for the bench finished. I have been working on this thing off and on for 3 years now and it is time to finish it. Besides I have all these nice handles that need instaled. I also hope to spend some time on the tread mill for the jig saw. I'm cheating a little hear as I found an old one sitting out in some ones trash last week and think it can be modified easier than the old INTERNATIONAL one I have for large dogs THis one can be about 2/3rds smaller for my dog and half as wide.and the mat will be better than wood slats. Any way I hope to spend some quality time with the tools and dog. EVERY ONE HAVE A SAFE & ROCKIN GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

I've been busy lately...

>I've been preoccupied for the last few weeks taking care of our new daughter Emma Grace.

She was born 6-24-04 weighed 6 lb 9 oz and was 21" long.

This is our first child, and I haven't had any time to myself to get down to the shop. I have not a single complaint though!

Small Boat Show

>Saturday I'll be finishing the saddling and legging up a braced continuous arm chair, but Sunday I signed up as a volunteer for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's Small Boat Show. In past years they've had some really nice wooden boats, canoes, kayaks, paddles, etc. on display and for sale. I just love it.

>What a sweety.

Congrads to both dad and mom. Very nice work there.

Can I place an order for one or two just like it?

>She is beautiful.

And how clever you and your other half must be to make such a jewel out of things you had around the house.

I'm jealous.

>I missed this feature. It kind of marks the beginning of the weekend.Without it the days just keep goin on like there weren't no weekend.

I started a little side table for LOML out of a piece of sugar maple with tap holes and brown streaks from the taps. We got the wood at wood days in NH. I have to cut more mortises to fit the skirts,add a lower shelf and cut out a drawer hole. This has been a fun project.

Have a great weekend ---Jack

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

>Great Work! Our little Grace just turned 1 last week. Look foward to a lot less shop time in the future. But every second of shop time lost is worth it!

>No shop time for me this weekend. I'm painting the living/dining room. It's not fair that my Knight jointer arrived and I can't even use it. I'm off to pout in the corner now....

Yes, the pool/landscaping project for SWMBO is in its fourth month. I am having woodworking withdrawal! I can't even sneak into the shop - the power is still out. (Mr. Wild-man with a Bobcat tore up the lines)
