  1. Opps! Been long time cents I played a game of chess. Right on extra queen. I use mineral spirits & boiled linseed oil in a 50/50 mix.
  2. From were I set you did a bang up job! I just dipped mine in 50/50 mix. Getting a even coat on these won’t be easy. PS why the extra queen, planning on cheating? LOL
  3. That is so great in so many ways!! Thanks for telling the history behind it.
  4. There is a reason why you couldn’t find it on Sheila Landry’s site I gave out false information. I got the pattern from The Wooden Teddy Bear. It is called “Floral Spice Rack”. Sorry about that!
  5. A girl/woman who rode my school bus from K - 12th is getting married September 5th. She also has 2 years in the army now. The pattern is from Sheila Landry. Made out of birds eye maple. I added the pin and slot joints to make it stronger. Cut using #3 & #5 MG pegas blades.
  6. I cut a set out of walnut an popular. Used Pegas MG # 5. It has been awhile but I think I was able to cut 4 pieces with one blade.
  7. They received the sign today. They really liked it and was surprised! I get the most enjoyment out of giving things away as a surprise. An by the way thanks for the kind comments!
  8. I don’t know any woman who wouldn’t be a “happy bunny “ with new good wood! Sorry I just couldn’t let this past
  9. What I would do, an have done, is use a piece of the same wood an put pattern of the words on it. Cut an glue on. Don’t tell an nobody but you knows!
  10. The parents of my wife’s friend has a cabin on a lake in Cold Spring MN. They let us use it for a week and wouldn’t take anything for it. I seen in the cabin that there was a frog theme lol. I counted 19 different frogs. So what is one more. Made from red oak. Frog is green popular and the tops of the cattails stained colonial oak. Cut with #5 pegas MG. Pattern is by Sheila Landry.
  11. My wife just got this timer from amazon. Has a magnet an a belt clip. Very easy to read. She got it for her stain glass business.
  12. It is aways good to combine our work to make a project better. Thanks for the “likes” an comments!
  13. My wife restores stained glass windows. Had one that needed a frame added. I used mortise & tendon joints. Inlayed leaves on sides out of green popular. Main frame is red oak. Arm-R-Seal finish.
  14. Very impressive! Letters are the hardest (for me) to look right. An yours are so small.
  15. Who is Mr Pace? An what is the picture of. Not that it isn’t good, just don’t know who or what it is lol
  16. I most of the time use black. Maybe you can come close to the color of her cat to make more personal.
  17. Very unique!
  18. Tape probably would not have helped. The stain would go under it. I have taken a xacto knife an cut around what I am staining. The cut makes a grove to stop the stain from running. Don’t take much.
  19. I hung LED lights in my new shop. Can’t have to much light
  20. Me too LOL
  21. Let a car sit without driving for several years and see how long bearings an seals last. Bridges have the tension figured in at construction and the concrete stables it. Until winter an traffic works on it.
  22. Anyone heard anything from JTtheclockman? Haven’t seen him on here for awhile
  23. Right but you just have to get the mating spot damp. I put glue on one face an accelerant (water) on other. Not were finish will be.
  24. Anytime something has pull on it either mechanical or gravity something has to give at some point. May not break but will weaken to the point that the pull, pressure, is released.
  25. H20 is cheaper too
