the mill where I get it has their office floor all done with birdseye and tiger maple..its pretty impressive

I love the big timbers. I do steel for work myself. the wood is a hobby. I agree with the chisel remark though...a sad way to keep your fine japanese chisels. I have one like them. Actually I don't like the steel ring pressing into my palm. just one question though...do you guys not need to wear hard hats on construction sites down there? edited to say I was typing this as you made your chisel reply 2 posts above Lets see the apron plane

Birdseye maple and Cherry. still glueing up drawers for the third one, but i has to get some finish on the 2 that were done. Still need to add the green velvet linning to the drawers.

No real time for fishing, not enough snow for snowmobiling. Plus, you sorta gotta be around family through the holidays so I spent time in the shop along with visiting and such. we have...jewelry boxes. From a plan I found in a magazine while Christmas shopping. If you're gonna do the tool setup, may as well make it worth while.

This is the Canadian forum http://forum.canadianwoodworking.com/ as far as price goes...to build one for somebody I would be looking at around $500.00 to dump this piece I would like to see $300. If nobody snaps it up quick it may go to a friend that needs a large jewelry cabinet but I have seen plans for better jewelry specific cabinets that I would rather make for her.

I gotta call my insurance company. I'm pretty sure they said they wouldn't cover my sled going through. I will ask if my truck is covered too.

I'm pretty sure insurance doesn't cover that. Is the owner going to be charged with any environmental things?

That would take more imagination than I have

We don't get snow days..you are expected to be there...big deal...a bit of snow

wait till I get these pics downloaded tomorrow to post...you'r gonna be done for

For a table saw I would suggest checking home depot for a rigid 3650. They have been discontinued for the hybrid model and should be going for about $400.00 I paid 8 for mine and would do it again. Nice saw with a real nice fence....ps...your shop will never be big enough

Come on now...fish don't smoke...and how the heck would they keep them lit down there anyways

Sure wish we could get some...all it is here is cold

Around here we find them in the rivers in the spring time..heads, tails, innards,,,and they are even alive. A guy told me its illegal to sell whole smelts as bait...this true?

So...we have to stop having fun because stupid people might copy us and get it wrong? PS, when you don't grow up rutal..iced over mall parking lots are where you do the donuts...just watch the darn light poles and dry spots DAMHIKT

I was in a tournament once and caught a salmon. When I cleaned it there was a half a dozen lead sinkers in its belly

Radnine, it was done on this mans style. http://jameskrenov.com/furniture.htm He passed away a couple months ago and will be missed in the woodworking world. Gerrit please see third picture. That is my dovetail jig Mortise and tennons were all hand cut and chopped. I have had jatoba crack and split on me. the paduk is the same way. It makes a good table top. Jatoba is actually marketed as "Brazillian Cherry" for hardwood flooring. Thanks guys..just putting the finishing touches on 3 jewelry boxes and a table I have on order.

I just wear a snowmobile suit any time. I stay away from iffy ice

They should close that lake 4 years out of 5..and C&R only

the slush is what concerns me as i ride a yamatank...4 stroke

Yep...gotta watch it still...I want to got for Splake soon...the big guys.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments The wood is not stained. The cabinet and legs are walnut. The red drawer faces are African Paduk. The brown ones are brazilian Jatoba. The drawers are beach, it has been steamed to give it a pink colour. This is a James krenov style cabinet. he molds different woods and grain patterns to lend character to a piece. It is my first one of this style. Worm dangler, stop by sometime and I'll show you in person. Nothing is perfect, but there is less wrong all the time.

Nice little vid. How much ice do we have?

For what? He is on the ice. You can drive a sled as fast as you want out there, why would a truck be any different? If he goes through there are charges for pollution. Till then, I know of nothing that can be done

booze and drugs are really not a good idea
