I've been cutting the CEDAR for dresser drawers and such.
Here are some and I have cut others. I enjoy doing these cuttings.
They are easy and functional.
I'm late welcoming you...Welcome!!!!
For not being a pro, You do a very nice impression.
But I know what you mean, we all continue learning,,,,
well, maybe not Kevin and Roly and Jim
Yes, I had thought of making potpourri bags of cedar chips and shavings.
But not a decorative piece. A simple cross or heart I will start with.
Gee, even the fish is simple enough.
I have been saving every scrap. If I don't use it, maybe my shop will smell better.
I was recently in Virginia and stopped by a friends home.
He gave me a half dozen slabs of cedar. They are about
10 inches in diameter and 2 to 2 /12 inches thick. I pondered
what I could do with them and got the idea to cut 1/2 inch pieces
from them. Plane them and make mini projects. Here is what I
have completed so far. I made one into a necklace. I have some
other item I have in mind to make. I thought I would also make
potpourrrie bags with the scraps.
Use what you have and waste not.
There is the gear clock that may never be finished.
Two leapords the have 500+ cuts, I've probrbly done 200 on each and don't want to look at them.
A toy truck that needs painting. I don't like to paint.
Menorah that needs candle holders made or bought.
That ain't bad but I'd guess there are some I have forgotten.
I gotta tell you that this is not my favorite post to read.
I'm sorry for your problems. A prayer they are resolved.
I have to purge these problems and thoughts from my mind.
It would take me ages to replace my saw.
I am sincerely sorry for what you have experienced.
God bless and may your problems be solved soon.
It's hard to be an idiot in a Village of Idiots
Paul, It may be hard to accept but this is where the Village Idiots retire.
There could be an accredited university for Village idiots here.
When a village idiot is missing, the search starts here.
B-u-t, maybe you are 'the' top Village Idiot.
This is where our current government searches for new members.
Idiots just blather on and on ... Hummmm
Better quit
Welcome to the Village.
Come on in Paul, pull up a chair.
I guess the title is unclaimed as far as I know. But you might have competition.
I guess I read that you do scroll. Do you have anything to show.
Yes the patterns are good and the scrollers also. Intarsia, inlay and much more.
Again, welcome to the Village.
