Here's the center of activities on Berini. I built this back in 2012 with help from my son and friend from Vermont helped me wire it.l used materials from a house that was knocked down in Durham. All of the pine was milled down for stick framing when the inspectors down town were unable to get the framing plan approved for less than 1800.00 dollars.

Like someone said in another thread, "I just can't throw away materials till I die" and here's the proof. No pictures of my Covid 19 boat project but you can find it in the Resources Section under Danmart77/

Nitric acid with iron filings in the mix, then you heat up the finish and it turns red/brown

Can't thank you enough for the resaw help a couple of weekends ago. It's humbling to be asking for something so crude once you see what a real craftsman can do. Many great pieces already have come from that shop and I'm sure there are many more to come. Thanks, Dan.
