  1. I spend at least six hours a day in the shop year round.
  2. This is the first video I have ever done so don't expect much. This was my setup at the festival the last weekend in April. It was a 2 1/2 day event. It is usually attended by around 200,000 people. It was my first year to participate. Booth rental was $350, which to me was really pricey. My spot was under a large canopy so I didn't have to worry about the rain. At the end of the event I decided it was a bargain. Art show.mp4
  3. Thought you had quit scrolling...........hadn't seen any work lately. Good job!
  4. Paul, That is simply incredible.
  5. Thanks Don. I didn't realize it would do all those things.
  6. Super job! Great use of colors.
  7. Your post made me think of a Beatles song. "Rocky Racoon" ...........anyway..........great pattern and cutting.
  8. I want to thank all you guys for your kind words and inspiration. If I wouldn't have found this site and you guys I would not be where I am on this journey. I still have soo much to learn and try. Thanks again to Travis and all of you.
  9. Ray, Sure surprised me when I opened my email this morning. Kind of you for sharing.............thanks.

  12. JT, That is one beautiful box. Maybe once school is out I can get my grandson to help me with a video. There are a lot of good ones on youTube.
  13. I did not use mortise and tenons to attach the bottom. Box1.pdf Box2.pdf Box3.pdf
  14. Norm, You might want to look at a Pegas. I got one and love it. Love the blade clamps.
  15. Just opened my email from him..............shocked me.
  16. I changed the pattern to us 3/8" wood. I also changed the size. Happy to share it if you would like it.
  17. Nice work..........love the tissue box.
  18. Very cute. Nice job and Happy Easter to you.
  19. Another great pattern and cutting. You sure have been busy Steve.
  20. Maybe it is just mine.........it doesn't go up and down very smooth. I try to keep it lubed. I think it might be better if it had two post to go up and down on. Maybe build more like the unit Kevin bought. I don't use it very much so it isn't a big deal. I guess I'm kinda a tite wod. For $100 i just expected a bit more.
  21. There was one piece that I dropped on the floor that I didn't realize until I went to put it together. Thankfully I found it on the floor. I did one side at a time and laid the pieces in order as I cut them out.
  22. Thanks for the kind words. The sides are inlaid all the way around. I have never done any flocking........I definitely need to try it some time. I blame you guys here at The Village for getting me to do new things. That's a good thing. I have never done any videos. Maybe I can get my grandson to help me with that sometime. I finish most of my projects with three coats of pre catalyzed lacquer. I would guess I have have around $20 worth of wood in this box. Being It is inlaid it takes almost twice as much as it would without. It took me about ten hours to make it from start to finish. I think I will price it at $150. Like I said.....I really don't care if I sell it. I can always give it to someone who is special to me.
  23. I've been looking at her patterns and a couple have caught my eye. I post my work on my FB page and also sell most of my stuff. I'm too old to go to jail.
  24. Is that a current picture of you?
