Hey Mark, we live on the east side of downtown where usually we’re the ones that get the flooding and power outages if the skies get dark but, not this time. Downtown and surrounding area and the NW side of town got beat up pretty badly though. My son works for the power company and they have been working 16 hour days to restore power to those less fortunate. Thanks for asking. -
GET PTFE plastic It is slippery. Comes in sheets. Comes in colors. I get some at 1/2" and cut pieces smaller than the leg. It cuts, routes and drills. It will hold a screw but requires accurate pilot and slip holes. It won't glue or paint or sand. I drill slip holes with a countersink. 2 screws to each. It is tough as iron. I also use it outside. the legs must be on masonry. The plastic stops wicking on the bottom of the legs. -
Making speaker stands with hollow columns for wire sounds like a cool project. When it comes to aligning the mortises for the bases and tops, using a jig can really help. You can cut a scrap piece of wood to match the width of the column and use it as a guide to mark the mortise locations. This should give you a more accurate and consistent result. Using a square or marking gauge can also ensure everything lines up nicely. -
I'm working on a bedroom "collection" that started with a Blanket Chest a few months back. It's been a slow but enjoyable process, and I'm aiming to finish the pieces around the same time the room remodel is done—although we all know how plans like that can go! I'm making a pair of them, and I'm really excited about how they're shaping up.
