I see you replied in the profile section, maybe about pics. Do I post them here or in another section? I don't see any provision for uploading, so where would I post? While I got you on the line, is this a PM method, or if it isn't, what is the signal for a message?
At the top of the page there's a "add new project" there will be a page to put in a discription of the item, whatever you want to write about it, who, what, when why, and where and you can add 3 pictures. There's also a personal Blog you can write in. and then there's the whole "Forum" page which will take you a while to wander around in there.
Welcome aboard. This community is great at providing information and helping out.
It's good to have you join us, CM. You've started with one very big project which reveals a highly refined professional level of skill. Obviously, you earn your living being a cabinet maker. This fact grabs my respect immediately. For me and a few other members here, we hang around guys like you hoping to learn. Welcome!
PS: I always miss not having at least a first name by which to address you – hope you don't mind 'CM'.
How about a look at your shop?
How you been? Those ailments getting better?
... I am sore from head to foot!!
Welcome to Cyber Space and LumberJocks. Please give us a full report.
I guess us geezers have to pace ourselves. I know what you mean about the aches the next day. Good thing our minds are still young. BTW, what happened to your posts, I think on ww.com. Did you check out and sign back up? What's your latest projects? Any woodworking going on?
A friend, a great golfer, had a trophy that had a gold club as part of it and she had lost it… I told her I would make her another one… strictly a hand tool job… The driver was about 6" long… I looked at her actual driver, made some sketches, etc. and went from there… I shaped the club out of some walnut or similar exotic scrap… shaft out of hard maple scrap… Carved / sanded it all by hand… drilled 1/16" hole to mount shaft to club… looks SO REAL! Coated it with acrylic… looked like hell… rubbed off all of it… and ended up taking a large Super Sharpie felt point marker and marked it up! Here club was almost a black so this worked beautifully… soaked right into the wood… buffed a little then just waxed it! Looked great… she liked it too! I took some pics of it, but are still in camera.
That's about it… Have been working on shop… making huge improvements so I can get back in there and DO something!! Before, I couldn't even walk through it without bumping and getting snagged on something… Still have more to do… but much better!
I also want to make a Barrister Bookcase that was in Popular Woodworking very recently… It really appeals to me… They have finally come up with a beautiful way to build them!
Cool way of stacking the units, etc.
of it. Man, that one was fun.
Wow, I've never heard of converting a dining table to a sewing table! That must be one beautiful large sewing table… with enough room to really spread the stuff out on!
Later… & thank you for making connections again!
Hoping for more architectural, home-building and woodworking projects o come. Before I have known the exterior doors site http://caldwells.com/exterior-doors, I already known Lumberjocks.com, as a matter of fact some of our home facility are influence and made from them.
