About time I get my rear in gear!!!

[Tom Niemi]

Finally decided on what I am building for the swap, LOTS of great projects already done and I hope mine will somewhat measure up to them

First is to choose what wood, some decisions to be made here

Yep, I think this will do just fine

Don't ya just love what can be hiding in a board


More to come later

 

[Bill Arnold]

That chocolate looks good enough to eat!!!

 

[Ted Calver]

Whoa! Let's not rush things. There's still plenty of time left, right?

 

[Ryan Mooney]

Oooh shiny ripples!

 

[Robert Horky]

Just two things:
* your lumber storage is WAY to organized
* you do have 51 days until the USA Thanksgiving deadline ... and I don't know how many days to subtract for shipping time (never good at math)

I do agree, the color and grain will prove interesting. I'll be watching for sure.

 

[Robert Johnson]

Certainly a beautiful start!

 

[Paul Douglass]

Okay, so I am sure I like everyone on this forum, HOWEVER, not enough to give up a beautiful board like that!!!

 

[Jeff Bower]

Whoa! Let's not rush things. There's still plenty of time left, right?

That's my hope!! I'm starting on mine this week.

That walnut is going to make whatever you make shine for sure Tom!

 

[Darren Wright]

Oh, now you've done it, pushed too hard with that plane and put wrinkles in the board! Just ship it down to me and I'll "dispose" of it for you.

 

[glenn bradley]

That board wants to come to my house . . . in whatever form it ends up

 

[Leo Voisine]

Love it when a plan comes together

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Everybody is talking about the board and I thought that what was important were the shavings!

 

[Jonathan Shively]

Tom, the board is nice but don't you think you are rushing things a bit? Ted and I are going to have to get going on ours one of these days.

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Procastination is making its way on FWW members... Oh yes... there is still plenty of time, no rush at all... maybe tomorrow if I have time... let's see... mhhmm...

 

[Jonathan Shively]

In a week and a half I have fall break. With this "balanced calendar" that our school went to, I will have a full week off for fall break. I have wood ready to split and plan on doing that all week. During times of resting, I plan on making my swap items. I have run many things through my head, have decided on what I am making, how to make it, what it will be made of and so it is now just the actual doing. The lean to is almost completely empty (beside my shop) and we are going to install the heating system and dust collector. I will post those additions to my shop on my original shop build. Tom, back to your swap build now, sorry for the interruption. Say hi to Joy for me!

 

[Tom Niemi]

Well, I made it by the skin of my teeth, my project is complete and will be in the hands of the big brown truck tomorrow. I will post pics tomorrow also. Thanks for running this swap Toni, it's been fun

 

[Jonathan Shively]

Well Tom, you might have won that procrastination contest! I have Ted's bowl and Roger has my pens, so, I don't want to rush things, but errrr, yep, think you won this round on the procrastinators contest!!! But knowing your work and having been in your kitchen, the wait will be worth it to the person that gets your creation!

 

[Tom Niemi]

It is officially in the hands of big brown and will reach its destination Monday All went fine until gluing on the hinges and somehow on the left hinge I had a small gap Oh well, its not terrible but totally flustrated me. It is all made from one board with the exception of the bottom. hope it is excepted OK as I have seen what they sent out and mine does not equal. Thanks again Toni

 

[Ted Calver]

It's a great looking box, Tom. Thanks again to Toni for organizing/supervising this fun swap.

 

[Bill Arnold]

You did great, Tom! Or, as my Alabama LOML says, "That's right nice!"
