We haven't opened the roof or removed any roof tile yet. Only built the new roof section.
What did you do in your shop today?
- Thread starter woodtickgreg
- Start date
nice but should have used snake wood
Oh, looked like it was going to be an enclosed roof system. The wood looked like untreated standard SPF. I had assumed the ridge was already tied in to the current roof.
Stabilizing is usually good to 400 Fahrenheit or so
Now that there is funny!
You must be referring to my post.
I actually almost did that too. Just for hah ha's....
Everything will ultimately be sheeted with asphalt tiles. The design is intended to make the new section conform with the existing roof, so it looks like it was built that way from the start, rather than something we added on afterwards. So it will require opening up a small section of existing roof and installing one short post where a hip connects. We'll remove all the existing asphalt tiles under the new section but won't remove any of the sheeting except where we have to. We're trying to coordinate with a roofing company to redo the entire roof tiles and put the new tiles on the new section so that why the weather has been such a bother.
In spite of a pretty windy day, the guys got about 80% of the new area sheeted. We can get a pretty good feel now for how it will look, how much light will be blocked, etc. Still really liking the design. Electrician stopped by and we worked out the lighting layout too.
Haven’t lived in our new place a week and I already want to do an addition
Well, I did a little something different for my 3 sons to celebrate their birthdays as they reach the important years of their lives from teens to adulthood; Dylan turned 21 this past January, Owen will turn 18 this Friday & Dean will turn 16 this May!
Well, I roamed around NYC in about 2 boroughs (Brooklyn & Manhattan) & found places that happen to have their names in which 2 are placed in a “marquee” fashion and 1 was well, let us just say some street artist got over happy with a spray can and painted on the Williamsburg bridge frame structure (happy to say that I was able to photographed it, before it was over sprayed by the building maintenance engineer).

Looks good. Like that smoketree
Matt,
Is that 'American smokebush'? I'm looking to add a 1/4 sawn sample to the reference collection some day. Samples finish at 3" wide x 6" long x 1/2" thick. Let me know if you end up with any available. Thanks.

Yes, it is. I've processed everything and it's all small turning blanks of various types and sizes now. It's too late now, but I doubt I'd have been able to get a sample sized quartersawn piece from what I had.
Well, as you might could tell from the posts the last few weeks, the turning bug bit. So today while the ribs were cooking (since I couldn't saw near the grill) 
. I set to work turning a set of poplar legs. I have some poplar live edge that clears 24 inch width very nicely so I thought I might do a smaller, more saleable live edge kitchenette table.
This being my first try at matching, I figured these would work for a practice run instead of maple or walnut...
The spindles were not perfect but live edge stuff around here doesn't command the big bucks so the few hairline I find, I will fill and sand out.

Started another bowl,blank is from the trade @EricRorabaugh and I did. I will be taking extra time on this to get it as close to perfect as I can.
Gonna be sanding on that a while! Wrinkles everywhere.
Seriously though, looking sweet. One of those things your fingers will tell you more than your eyes.
I thinks it’s another defective chunk of wood eric keeps pushing on everyone.
Wow! That was hiding in that ugly blank? Seriously, very very nice.
Seriously, very very nice.
