THE WORKERS

Hey Everyone,

Its Halloween here in the US-time for lots of chocolate and the undead walking the streets. Kinda sounds like a normal day.

Anyway, here is a really simple project for an item I bet you could really use and you dont need a lathe to make it.

And Im not going to tell you what it is until its done!

Here are the photos:

Ok, I took two pieces of 1" x 4"x13" pine (see the previous project) and ripped them down to 1 1/2" wide. Then I took each and cut a small 3/8" x 3/8" rabbit along each edge


Then I glued and clamped them together-be careful to line up the rabbits so you have a channel that runs down the center of the block:


Can anyone guess what this will be?

Oh No! A zombie is trying to break into the wood shop! Im getting out of here!

See you this weekend.

Hi Everyone,

It is an absolutely beautiful day here today-the air temperature is about 65 and its clear and sunny and we have about a zillion birds outside. We even had some ducks on my front yard earlier today. All in all a good day to begin finishing this bowl.

I went down to the shop and finished wet sanding the bowl up to 400 grit and then I polished the surface with maple wood shavings. Here are photos of the inside and a side view:



The bowls surface is still damp with mineral spirits. Im going to let this evaporate off and while its doing that, Im going to clean out the shop and let the dust in the air clear out. Later today Ill do a posting about the finishing process.
