Dan, I charged $40 a piece for these. Do you think that I priced them right? To answer your question on retired I would need to know your definition. My definition of retired is.......... likeing what you are doing and not feel trapped. I guess I have been retired most of my life. dave

A grandma at the Farmers Market I met ordered trinket boxes for all (16) her Grand kids. The girls are a combination of cherry, maple and walnut. The boys are maple and walnut. I delivered them Friday and she ordered two more for freinds. Great order, but I was ready to have them done. The boxes measure 6" x 8" x 3" deep. dave

Must be the season to get hitched. I sure have had several wedding plaques to make. I really don't remember where I found the clip art. I had to make some changes on it so it would work to scroll. The plaque is made of 5/8" red oak stained special walnut measures about 12" x 14". dave

Larry liked the detailed one and his wife liked the other one. I gave both to them to for the price of one. I have been in different businesses all my life and I have always had the philosophy to deliver more than I promise. I sure in the heck am not doing this for the money anyway. dave -
Got er done. This was the first job that I used a sponge roller to apply the glue. Usually I use a tiny glue bottle. I guess I was too stingy with the glue. I guess I have always been a rebel and do things a bit different. I tried using glue and was worried about making a mess out of it. I took a 1/32" drill bit and found a 1/2" brad that was a touche bigger. I was very careful in measuring. Nothing cracked or broke so I am totally pleased. Thanks to all of you for your comments. dave

Tony, haven't seen you in a while. Welcome back. Could they be painted and then sanded off?

I glued up a plaque today with a lot of fretwork on it. There are a couple of loose pieces on it. I have an 18 gauge nail gun and I thought about shooting them from the back side but I would cry if they split. Any ideas? dave

Great pattern and you did a beautiful job cutting it. dave

Looks great. I love the look of Bamboo. dave

I stack cut two pieces of Walnut plywood. Did detail on one pig but not the other. I will be interested to see tomorrow which one Larry likes better. I tried to include the Bible verse but was too small for me to do at my skill level. I used 1/2" Baltic birch for the backer and 1/8" for the name to overlay the walnut. dave

I use regular paper if there is a little rough place after my project is complete. I use a precatalized lacquer. Maybe there is a differance between products but I have always sanded and I feel like I get a better finish by doing it. I enjoy all the imput though. dave

Rolf, That looks like a good one. Thanks, dave

Great design Jim. You did a great job rounding off all the edges. dave

Makes a fella mad when you mess something up and you don't notice it until it's done. Nice work though. dave

Jerry, They look good. What type of paint are you using? dave
-
Looks like there is a dusting of snow on them. dave

A dollar won't buy a thing any more. How many per hour can you do? Maybe they are too small but when I stack cut baltic birch I do 6 at a time but I am probably doing bigger things. I'm sure you have tried more. dave
