Can't glue them and try over?
What did you do in your shop today?
- Thread starter woodtickgreg
- Start date
Still thinking about it. Just not sure the way they blew open.
Started another lighthouse yesterday. I thought the column was unremarkable maple but turned out to be fire box elder (not much red) but some pretty figure that I sure wasn’t expecting. I had planned to paint this column to some degree but having second thoughts now. Want to have this completed by the middle of May. I started this column piece several years ago to be a vase.
A little more progress on the shop. Just need to have a friend or 2 over and I will be ready for ceiling drywall in both rooms
Still slowly processing walnut. Had a little bit of crotch wood in this piece and was going to make an open bowl, but that would have ended up with a weird cut line through the heart wood and sap wood. Instead, halfway through shifted gears, changed the angle, curves the top inward and made a nicely shaped hollow form.
The detour sure yielded an attractive and elegant form! Will finish off so nicely. Chuck
This is going to be a beauty Tim. Good decision.
Not doing things per priority but this was fun. Decided to do a blue stained pine wall in the sanctuary like I did in the wood shop area. But I found better wood that has some great color in it.
….reattacking that DIW fountain pen for my buddy. The sap wood was really light so it got a dose of CA glue. Guess I will do a BLO and CA finish
Those walls look amazing! I’m contemplating doing something similar on my workshop walls, but vertical with some Cherry wood I have. Don’t think I have enough to go all the around, so may have to start with 1 wall section at a time. Chuck
Awesome pen Garry
Didn’t quite finish it as I didn’t compensate for the cold and the CA glue. Just needed to step away and make sure I get it finished the way I desire.
Looking real good!
Looking good John. Hope they work out for you!
1st of March.....weather should be good enough for me to start another project!
Dug out some lumber, cleaned/rearranged some things to let me work a bit better. And laid down another old rug to give my legs/knees a bit of relief. Carpet pretty much covers all the places I stand now.
Now.....just gotta finish a couple little things to start on the next.

George, I bought some mats that hook together at Sam’s. Nice foam that I like standing on. Found them in 4 packs and they hook together.
Garry-
I have some of them, but they get kicked around a lot. With as much carpet as I have now, I'll probably just put them under the carpet pcs, they will stay in place then.
Glad that worked out for him.
