Popular Post Chip Sawdust Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Made a little box for my wife's colored pens she likes to use. She has a LOT of them.... It started out as one idea, then morphed into something else. Same size, but no dovetails. Black walnut, alder trim, Aussie red gum caps, poplar dividers, Watco natural Danish oil finish. Used the same vee joints on the dividers that I learned in the spice box I've been slaving over for months now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post legenddc Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Speaking of projects to make the wife happy, I finished up the crown molding on our first floor yesterday. Had a bit of a break since I started since we had our deck built in the middle. Old deck New deck 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardA Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I haven't done much in the shop for awhile. But I have a neighbor,, he's a couple of years older than me, and like me, has back problems. So I took some scraps, curly Maple, Walnut, Butternut and played around with making a cane for this guy. He's a tad taller than me, with large redneck hands, so the cane I designed for me won't quite work for him. I'll have something in a day or two. That's what I did today. Pics forthcoming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dave S Posted June 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yesterday I sat outside in 65 degree sun and read my latest issue of WoodSmith mag. Not on a tablet, computer, phone or any other squint-inducing media (Wood Talk of course excluded from my digital weariness), but in hard copy pages flapping in the breeze and needing sunglasses to keep the glare from bothering me. Heaven! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark J Posted June 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 It might have been a year ago, but@Coop mentioned that he keeps his receipts for major equipment with the manuals. I thought that was an excellent idea and finally got around to implementing it. The idea is that my estate's executors would have an easier time figuring out what's what and what things are worth. Probably helpful to me, too, if I want to sell something. One thing else I might do is photocopy the receipt and the cover of the manuals of the big items and keep those in a separate place for insurance purposes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that and uploaded the manuals and receipts to my Evernote account and Dropbox. And yes, I made sure the receipt for the Mega Flush Trim bit was uploaded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Do you guys use this trim bit mainly for pattern work? @Mark J, good memory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I’ve been meaning to keep similar records as well, but currently just have partial records of my power tool purchases. @Coop @Mick S @Mark J what’s your threshold for what gets recorded vs what doesn’t? The accountant in me wants to track all woodworking related expenses, but I know that I won’t actually keep up with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 For some unexplainable reason, I use $250. Maybe not good as I went to an estate sale recently where crap stuff was going for much more than I would have paid for it and it sold for the asking.

Popular Post drzaius Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I finished this base for a patio umbrella. There's a great huge chunk of concrete in there to keep things from blowing away. Made it from some left over ipe that has been kicking around for years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
