It's always good to know when you're on your game, and when you should just go have a beer...

Yes, I steam bent kiln dried walnut, birch, maple, and exotics to make fishing nets. The strips were very thin so I had that going for me. Nonetheless I had to steam it for much longer than what is generally recommended on the internets. Some of my bends failed on the walnut so I steamed the devil out of it and it worked better.

Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a very safe and prosperous new year, plus I want to thank you all for being here, plugging away at woodworking as usual. It's a great comfort during strange times to have you guys here acting normal. No drama. No strife. Just good people interacting like they always do... It's refreshing.
-
Merry Christmas everyone. It's been one heck of a year. Cheers to all of you and best wishes for the coming year.

John Prine recently passed away from covid. It's a great loss. He wasn't a tremendously healthy man to begin with. I highly recommend "Angel From Montgomery" performed by John Prine and Bonnie Raitt. It's a classic. You can find it on YouTube.

Yeah, I like mine pretty well too. It's a luxury when you're living on a budget like mine, but it was a gift and I love it.

Look for Shop Fox replacement bags. They are essentially the same.

Make the Wood Whisperer sitting bench. There are a lot of M&Ts there to give you some practice.

I married up too. I think it's the only way to go (if you can manage it). My wife is so much better at so many things than I am that it is a humbling experience and lessons learned every day. She's away for a few days, camping with her son and g-daughter, and it's all I can do to hold the place together until she gets back and takes care of me again.

Happy Independence Day everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful, healthy, and fulfilling weekend with family, friends, etc. ...enjoying the best of whatever it is you're doing.

Yes, we are all thinking of you....

Yes, I use it for jigs, table saw sleds, stop blocks, and supplemental fences. It is usually flat and stable. It's always good to have some around to bang together a quick jig, or whatever. Pre-drill for screws.
-
Thanks, yeah I wondered if it was like walnut. The colors are certainly complimentary.
-
Nicely done. How is it working with butternut?
-
Well I guess it was the both of us, but I drank the lion's share. Thanks everyone! Now let's see if I can get back to work furniture making on a regular basis. I'm having a hard time these days keeping a steady flow of ideas rolling. I need to have a plan drawn up for a next project before the finish starts going on the current project or I end up having big gaps in my production.
