    Slab shop time

    Well, I finally got a piece of that very think slab I cut last weekend. I slabbed off a thinner section and started sanding on it to smooth it out and try getting it mostly level. Man I sure could use a LARGE sanding/surfacing machine. It measures 48" at its longest and 36" at its widest...

    Stump workings (updated with pics this time)

    Well, yesterday the weather was nice and I decided to tackle another section of the big maple stump. It looked like this.... And then I sliced off a slab leaving this.... Of course, in order to get the saw into certain places, I had to cut off some of the root growth. Which netted me this...

    New Pen - 1st Time I've done Acrylic

    Well I thought it was time for me to try this Acrylic stuff. I've avoided using it because 1st I like wood and 2nd was not sure about getting all the marks out of it. All in all its pretty easy stuff to work with except for the smell, just remember to wet sand and use a polish (rubbing...

    A Little Shop Time

    Well, since I got rained out of doing anything in the yard, I decided to try to make a little progress on some projects.

    need a little planer time in Cary/Apex

    I need to make new hatch boards for my sailboat. I picked up a rough piece of clear white oak at Klingspor's today and I need to plane it smooth; just a few passes each side should do. The board is 14" wide by 7' long, but the hatch boards only need to be about 11", so I can rip it to under 1'...

    It's Good Will Lathe time again....

    Marco's (Vanilla Gorilla) time with the Good Will Lathe (GWL) is up. It's time to gather a new list of nominees. Unfortunately the list of nominees from the last go around has been lost. But it was pretty irrelevant now, as many of the members on that list have already succumb to the Dark Side...

    Seal-a-Cell Drying Time

    I am using General Finishes Seal-a-Cell and Arm-r-Seal. I applied the SaC today and it appeared to dry VERY quickly. They recommend 12 hours before putting on the first topcoat, but it appears dry after 1-2 hours. Would it be a mistake to apply to topcoat this early? Do drying times vary...

    Not a winner this time

    The results aren't out, but based on the competition, there is no way I'm going to win the Wood Mag/Freud door contest. I'd trade my Shop contest prize for this one in a heart beat! For those who have not been to my house, which entry do you think is mine? No fair looking at the pic URL. And...
