I would love to participate but I have absolutely no power in the shop right now. If I get that remedied in time I may join in. I had a blast on the last one.

- Thread starter Lou Currier
- Start date
I actually have some of that stuff and a few lanterns. I've tried a little knife work by lantern light. I am working on a couple folders and dropped and lost parts faster than I can make em...
I hope to get the trench dug and new lines pulled this week. While I' at a standstill Im going to go ahead and rip out the walls and spray foam insulate If I start on a project none of it will get done

If anyone needs some 2" thick American air-dried beech for the mallet head, let me know. I have some I will give you if you pay for the postage.
Scott, I looked everywhere for the swap topic. I could only find the picture topic. Did it start here or on wwt then carried over here?
Or, was the topic lost in the forum switch?
It started here. It might be archived. Let me see if I can find it.
Aha....ok. thank you sir...
Not archived - still active . Here is a link to the trade swap pics.

talks about using a lathe!!!!!!
Found that thread! I was also looking for the original thread
That was the one I found. I thought there may have been a topic on it, where they start with the sign ups, state the rules, the pair ups, and stuff. Like this topic here...
Are ya all done yet?
Got first coat of finish on just now,so thought I would see how everyone else is doing.

this is just hand drawn and wood burnt. Yeas I did have the pic on my phone to look at when I drew it but that's why it's far from perfect. I think it's close enough where my swap partner will know what it represents.
Ahh, I see now. Looks great to me.
Hows this so far?
