  1. Kev, I recently recovered/padded all of our dining chairs. Not difficult at all. I bought the padding at Hobby Lobby. 2 inch thick so they are very soft and comfy.
  2. Thanks, I had an idea that was it but wanted to be sure.
  3. Wick, what is a 1-2-3 block?
  4. It's very similar to my milk crate. Lol.
  5. I'm surprised we still have anything made of glass, or pointed, or sharp, or.... When I was still selling tools it amazed me when seeing warning labels on things that should be obvious to anybody with more than 2 brain cells. The problems were all created by lawyers.
  6. Oh yeah, I forgot to add oak also. I've use maple on occasion and hickory but not on my favorite list.
  7. I use walnut, mahogany, cherry and poplar depending on the project.
  8. We grew up in the best of times. Sanity prevailed.
  9. It's a sad world we live in. I got my first pocket knife at 8 years. My first BB gun a year later and a .22 at 12.
  10. Outstanding! So glad to hear of your forward progress. Be sure to show us what you produce. Glad to have you back "in the saddle" so to speak.
  11. Very interesting. On one of my used scroll saw purchases, I got a whole box full of blades with it and I just found a whole package of blades for metal cutting. Very tiny, very fine toothed blades. I'll have to give this a try some time.
  12. I don't know what you are going through but just know that my prayers are with both of you.
  13. The subject of spray boothes or areas has come up here more than once and while reading through an Instructable today, I ran across this idea being used in a high school shop class. If you have the room and get hold of an old camping tent, this makes perfect sense. Large enough to crawl into to paint but yet collapsible for storage. Pretty neat idea.
  14. Beautiful job. Your friend will be most appreciative I'm sure. I know I would be.
  15. Just wanted to wish all the Moms out there a very happy day.
  16. I have never been interested in making toys but this technique may change my thinking. I can see where it could be applied (no pun intended) to othe types of subject matter too. Thanks for a very interesting topic.
  17. No, but she hates seeing me "dumpster diving". She doesn't have the hoarding gene.
  18. Join the club. My shop is 9 x 13 and loaded to the max. I've got wood stashed all over it. One of these days, the termite police are going to come for me. I get cutoffs from Cherokee Woods whenever I go out to their yard. So far, everything has found a spot in my shop out just outside in one of my cupboards. I throw nothing away. My wife hates it.
  19. Beautiful work Eric. Just don't sit on them in the future.
  20. Beautiful. Just needs flowers.
  21. Hey Brenda, I've missed you. I hope everything is working out for you and life is good. Glad you're back both here and in your shop.
