  1. RJ, the original post is from 2021.
  2. Those look great.
  3. More thoughts from me! It is always amazing, to me, how hard we are on ourselves. We never expect kids to know how to do something right away. Telling them to practice, practice, patience. We need to take our own advice. Please hang in there.
  4. Iguanadon aka Scott Seifer is no long in the Byrtle Grove area. He still hangs around the forum. I am sure there are others in your area.
  5. Great job. The wood you used for the water is perfect. I am thinking that is the Black Lima.
  6. Very nice.
  7. Welcome from Winnipeg. If you have a DeWalt view the Bob Brokaw videos from the Gwinnette Woodworking youtube channel. It is loooong but very informative.
  8. Exactly what Wichman said. Or, if it is thick enough, leave it at a standing piece. As for a backer, you could use some heavy cardstock.
  9. I think I liked it better without the frame.
  10. Well done Frank. I like it better than some of the other Umbrella Girl series.
  11. It is just on the edge. It is about 1/2" thick.
  12. My kinda plant! Never needs watering!! Intasria succulent. Poplar, Limba and Cherry. 5"x4.5".
  13. I have some anti-vibration pads under my Excelsior. Made a difference.
  14. Very nice.
  15. I noticed that change on the FB group. Looks good.
  16. Nice work Frank. Could you adjust the colouring around the sun. Make it look more like a setting sun.
  17. I saw a video that used the melted product as a finish for outdoor ornamental items. It made the fairy house waterproof. I will also point out (only because my father worked for Dow, the manufacturer of Styrofoam, that the product in the videos is "expanded polystyrene beads" not Styrofoam. "If it isn't blue it isn't Styrofoam" was the tagline through the 1960's & 70's, for sure.
  18. Both are great. Love the whimsy of the bird house.
  19. I have been at events where there is a tag put under the chair, or a plate etc. and that is the person who gets to take home the centerpiece. Lovely work. I like the mixes of wood.
  20. Sorry for your loss. That is a beautiful piece of work.
  21. Thanks for the kind words Ralph. The best advice I could give would be to purchase one of the beginner books and just jump in. Watch some of the videos. And stress a lot!
  22. The only thing I will add to this conversation is a place to get plans. I can't wing it on my own either. I got the plans for my flip cart from here. https://www.youtube.com/c/Fixthisbuildthat
  23. Great work Frank.
  24. I probably bought the same stuff. I always found the edges difficult to finish decently.
