Alan, you suggested I start this a while back...so here goes; and thanks man, you literally saved this one for me!
This is the project I was working on when I got his good advice on glass cutting. It's a concert memorabilia case Amy asked me to make, and it will soon be full of keepsakes from Donna the Buffalo and Railroad Earth shows. The case is 31x21 and is brazilian cherry and soft maple. The purple cloth is over cork for pins. I wish I was a better with a camera...the richer color is actual.

Nice looking work Greg. I need new teak strips for my step pads on the BFN made. When can I drop off the teak?

Nice woodworking Greg
If it needs to be made out of concrete or steel, I can handle it. When it comes to woodworking, forget it. Although, I did redo my swim platform, and surprisingly, it came out great. BTW, are those bands Country, or Western?

Very Nice Greg,

I did a fair bit of woodworking, but soon my standards eclipsed my abilities (damn you Fine Woodworking magazine!).
Honestly, lack of space and time led me to sell off the tablesaw, jointer, planer, etc. Now I design the things I need and contract talented people to make it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

This is my Grandfather's burial flag. The pic in the corner is him in the captain's seat of a 747. He logged over 35,000 hours with 7+ years in the Navy and 32 years with Eastern AL. Yes, he was my hero and man does he have some signatures on his short-sn-order(he wasn't a drinker, so he pronounced it differently). The case is bloodwood and bird's eye maple; some laminated and some inlayed. Alan, the 'glass' on this one is UV lexan...easy to cut.

You would need a zoom lens to see it from Atlanta Greg, but trust me if you're in the same room as me you'll know it's there.
Other Greg, that is some OUTSTANDING work you have done. Woodworking is a lot of fun, I enjoy it myself but don't have all the fancy tools. ------------- |

Ok Greg, Here's my first one but you'll have to suffer along as I need to tell the story behind this piece. Although the styling is my least favorite it is the most treasured item in our home.
The date on the back of the picture is 1994, a few months prior to building it I came home from work one day to find my wife and 2 very young children were on a plane 1000 miles away never to return. We'll leave that as it lays but being blindsided and without knowing a single soul in Chicago except the people I worked with I fell into a pretty deep hole. Luckily one of my counterparts at work saw what was going on and knowing I did a little woodworking challenged me to get myself busy and make her something. I asked her what she wanted and she said "I don't know, maybe a box to keep trinkets in or something, surprise me" I went to Raindogs dreaded Fine Woodworking Magazine and saw this item that caught my eye and decided to give it a shot. It is a reproduction of an 18th century spice cabinet, in those days many spices were so rare and valuable that the elite owned cabinets designed specifically to store them. Many had secret compartments to hide their most valuable items. It is white oak and has no mechanical fasteners except for the hinge screws. 
There are three hidden comparments behind the front drawers. 
There is also a hidden drawer for documents in the back, you have to trip a little slide latch and the back panel drops down to expose the hidden drawer. 
I put this together in one week as I was on a mission and nothing else to do with my time anyway. I presented it to my friend and she was awestruck. I really hated to give it away but I was happy she was the one recieving it. Less than one year later she moved in along with her prized Spice Cabinet and the two have never left.  ------------- |

Here's another of my favorites and you'll be pleased to know it comes without the long story.
Much more contemporary which suits Dana and I just fine. This a shoe box with Matching mirror. The woods are Lacewood, birch and Mahogoney. My first attempt at inlaying. Again no fasteners except for hinge screws. Very functional item that is still in use after 13 years. this is an original Dana design, note the ball on the wall that appears to be falling from the top of the mirror.

And the story is awesome; give her a hug from me! Good people do good things and often end up together. A key west wedding comes to mind as well... I have explored hidden catches and hiding things in plain view. My 'security hardware' is in a place noone would guess...and it's close and handy! I also don't use fasteners other than for hardware and not always for that. Again, very nice and I'll admit to being outclassed!

Thanks Pete, I never believed in Soulmates before I met her. We ended up buying the business together and the rest is history. You will very rarely see one of us without the other nearby. Most people can't imagine being with their mate 24/7, I feel sorry for them a bit. Now as for real wood working you need to make sure you're still around here in about 5 years because that's my timetable for commencing a lifelong goal of restoring a prewar mahogony classic. I think I'll need you to help find one and also advice on restoring it. ------------- |

I'm my own worst enemy, everyone looks at my work and loves it, I look at it and see every defect or mistake I made. Without having the time to become really good at it I've moved on to other things. Like boats!!!! I've also discovered that I really dig working with metal and am starting to have a little fun with that. ------------- |

I'll take that as among the highest of compliments coming from the guy who made the above projects! How 'bout we call it even? I see design and technique in your work that I don't even 'allow' myself to explore. As for the finishing part; my Dad used to own a curved stair company here in atl, and he always said that the hard part was the finishing. I've learned some about how to finish what, but I have a lot to learn. And on that note, Pete, I've enjoyed your knowlege on this subject...you must have some to share? Also on uk's thread, I was thinking 'no way it's maple' considering where he was...but you nailed it?!!? 2 points!
You and I are kindred spirits sir! I go through the same thing. Can you say "my project is a little smaller than I intended?!!?" LOL I've heard it said that...'the best woodworkers are those skilled in working around their mistakes'. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Joe, I think your right on that. The name comes from the fact that the bean bags that you throw into the hole were originally filled with corn. But I think Ohioans play two different games of the same name.
We play the same type game, with plastic sets, that is called Baggo. In fact there are Baggo leagues at some of the bars around here. Steve ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

That was meant as a joke more than anything Gandalf; couldn't get by the association. My first 'nice' furniture as a child was distressed oak. It wasn't sold that way I guess, but it sure had taken a few knocks and was splattered with black paint all before it was priced as new. I bet the build quality will see it through a few chair dings and dropped bowls. Then it'll be both. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

I lost a big chunk of my sugar maple in the front yard this spring and have the wood where I hope it'll see that progression. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

nice work. I personally hate wood, more of a metal person. If this was a metalworking show and tell thread i would be inclined to share. my only woodworking projects are usually a chainsaw, an ax and maul. then stack. ------------- 1988 Barefoot nautique-454 |

We were working at the house Saturday and our youngest was going through a couple scrap piles. We've been cleaning or burning most of the construction waste and it seems others have decided our house is a dump spot for them, too. He managed to find some nice cedar lumber pieces and decided to keep them so he could build something. He decided he wanted to make a simple desk, so we worked together to make one out of the cedar, some scrap 2x4's and pallet wood. He did most of the main cuts and fitting himself. We think it turned out pretty good.

It does run in the family, on both sides. My wife and I have parents and grandparents with varying levels of hands on personalities and skills. They did help a little with the Supra...they were quite a bit younger back then. |

Sprayed a couple coats of polyurethane on it this weekend to finish it. He also stained the legs and trim pieces with a very light stain. The stained pine and unstained cedar ended up matching up pretty good once we did the poly.

Our oldest is making progress on the table he is working on in wood shop. So far he has pretty much all the pieces ready to go to start building the base. It doesn't look like a lot right now, but when those pieces start coming together, it should start really looking good. The base is all cherry and the top will be done with the reclaimed wood we got a while back.

That marble machine is amazing. This kind of counts as woodworking.It is another instrument Made of wood. substrate, Keys, and cover were all hand made out of wood. I did not build the piano, that was done by a friend of mine but I built the folding aluminum frame and Legs.    ------------- 1988 Barefoot nautique-454 |

We decided to work on a couple pallet repurposing projects this weekend. Our youngest has been wanting to build a headboard and/or bed frame. He found a couple cool ideas to get the basic sizing and style down and took it from there. He got the headboard built and still has a little trim work to do. I think it's looking pretty cool and he is definitely improving his basic carpentry skills.    I decided to build myself a little shelving/table unit to keep out near the BBQ equipment for storage and a work space.

You didn't have any trouble at all cutting up your limb. I think we would all agree we would rather see you cutting on some trees or something though...

Our son is basically done with the table. We're going to do a spray polyurethane finish on it once we get it home. I think he did a great job on it and I'm proud of him.
