I guess guitars qualify since they are made of wood...

The scary part on the table saw for me is using my dado blades like i used to make these shelves. You are cutting out a very wide path and it whirrs pretty loud. You are also at the limits of the shaft width. |

We did to but I was already working as a bottom line heavy mechanic at a shop. Kind of funny, I wasn't a "voky" but did more voky than most of them.

Looking back, our middle school shop classes were pretty impressive as well. In addition to wood and metal, we did leather stamping, plastic molding, silk screening and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. We even cast metals which was super cool.

Is a lot of that training valuable in your job today? Help you build the fundamentals that you use?

****, I am STILL staining the cabinets. It's been a slow and tedious process and I've had to redo some of them because I didn't like how they were turning out. I'm probably about 3/4ths of the way done with them but they are finally starting to shape up pretty nicely. As soon as I'm done with that I just have to do the floor. I really need to have it finished by spring.

I am refurbishing a 1952 Tudor house right now.
After that I plan on a cabinet from a tree from my yard topped by the 2007 ice storm. It was a black cherry & I had the bottom 12 feet cut into planks. It went into the attic for 3 years to season. Then I planed it all out. Gorgeous wood. Found a 22 buried in the tree. Planed off shiny & bright. I will put that in a prominent location for conversation. The refurbishing has stretched my plumbing & electrical. Learned window glazing. Tile. Now starting on sanding the hard wood floors. Hope to have it done next month. |
