How's your day been?

[2feathers Creative Making]

Thanks to the WB family (I'm pretty sure our side is the animaniacs) ... I am able to stay on a bed in the room . The Drs ,I trust, the floor nurses, I watch
We are awfully close to university of TN and a few of their students nurses rotate through. At my age, I know as much or more than first years.. especially about the equipment.

Well, today started off pretty good. Working with what I call "Splinter Wood", which is Hickory to most people. I was in the process of making a couple pieces of crown molding. I'll have post this here on my computer, then the pictures will have to be posted from my phone. Following up in about 10 minutes. ............... Nubs

Splinter wood stinks for detail stuff like crown molding. Especially if you don't get to cut the log for grain run out! The guys who make a mess of their own home sawn boards don't receive as much sympathy as the ones that buy someone else poorly cut stuff because they didn't get to see the log it came from and know some of what to watch for. But either one can still come apart on you and try to make pin cushions out of the operator and the room around said operator. Hope the pictures don't show you as a pin cushion my friend!

I’m back. Anyway, here’s a couple pictures
This first one is my setup. I have a feather clamped to the fence and another clamped to the table. In order to keep the feather board pressure on the piece being cut, I needed to put a board up against the long feather board using a board clamped from the back of the saw.
I’m also using 30 pounds of Lead to keep the fence from rising to keep downward pressure on the wood being shaped.

Below is what I’m making.

This is what happened
It’s a minor cut in my opinion. ……,,.Nubs

OUCH! Do you have a router bit that makes the whole profile, or do you have to do multiple passes? Better wrap up that finger! Chuck

Just had one of those feelings this was heading that direction….. darn @Nubsnstubs , don’t do that.

I'm using a molding cutter for the beads on the edges, and another for the cove, so yes, multiple cutters. I couldn't find a router bit for this design, so I do it the old fashion way of adding some color.
If you look at the 2 top pictures, the square hole in the clamp shadow is where cutter is. I have large feather board I normally use at that location somewhere around here but couldn't find it. So, instead of really looking for it, lets lose a couple days for healing instead of getting the job done. I'll be working again tomorrow. .............. Nubs

that's life, Garry. You win some days and then others you loose. You just pull your pants up(after checking them, , of course) and continue on. .......... Nubs

Prayers that your wife has a successful surgery and wholesome recovery ‍

Well, another sad day. Seems our group has suffered to many of these losses this year including our previous 2. Our old man has been ,getting weaker and weaker and after being gone 12 days I saw a huge decline. We got him through the week, last night was really rough and we made the decision. For a large breed, he did great, 10 and a half years old. We adopted him at 7 due to a divorce. We did just what my wife wants to do. She wants to rescue older dogs that have landed in a situation not of their causing. We have done that with 3 now and are already on the lookout for the next. Not rushing, but first time my wife has been without a dog since 1984.

George adopted us immediately, a gentle giant of 140 pounds, never met a stranger especially if the carried a treat (the UPS guys always had a treat for him) and socially well mannered. And he was a shop dog!!!

Love a Dane, have a close friend who rescues them in SC - wonderful dogs. Hate to hear about your loss, thinking of you both.

Beautiful dog, great memories. Been a rough period of time with your pet family! Sorry for the repetitive losses. Chuck
