Well for ya'll that couldn't make it to Hickory for the Kilngspor's Woodworking show and Woodguy's Gathering, here's a few pics of what ya'll missed. My camera batteries died about half way through the sculpted chair demo, so Steve will have to fill in the blanks with his pics. But here's what I have to show:
Woodguy and Vanguard showing the pattern used to create the chair.
Woodguy showing how to measure a butt for proper seat fitting. And man a well measured butt makes for a comfy chair.
Woodguy showing how the bulk of the wood is removed from the seat by free hand bandsawing. He doesn't seat the stock flat on the table but rather at an angle twisting it as he cuts, to dish out the butt contour. Yes, he is posested while doing this.
Now for the tool porn, a few pics of Woodguy's shop, a very nice place.
The Navy has landed
Here is everyone talking after an awesome meal of BBQ, incredible chicken breast tenders, all the fixings, and some great home made pie.
Here is Steve dancing a jig after we unloaded Insomniac's new BS
Busting into a very well crated saw
Here's Insomniac reconfiguring his mobile base after getting advice from Woodnet regarding the size, it needed to be larger.
The saw uncrated and finally on it's properly fitting mobile base
OK, how do ya'll work on of these thingies?????? Or how many NCwoodworkers does it take to make a bandsaw go???
Well, as you can see despite my poor picture taking, that we all had a great day. If you ever get the opportunity to meet these guys or any of the members of this forum, take it. It's really cool to talk to people in person:lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks for looking, Dave
