Now this going where I hope'd it would! That's tight Alan, I really like the style with the 'balls'. I never would have thought of that use...until now?!!?
![]() 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! Put up some more. |

Thanks, That's poplar. most of my stuff was done a very tight budget back then. I could barely afford to eat so I saved money on any unexposed wood. |

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. |

Thanks but you surpase me with detail and finishing. I can just tell from a quick glance. 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'. ![]() |

Man am I impressed! Can't wait to meet Dana after that story. Guess we could say she liked your wood.
Couldn't resist Alan..sorry. Me and Patti work together now at the same place...know exactly what you mean. I love working with her. So much to talk about around the dinner table now. john |

Well, mine can't compare with the above projects, but here are my latest 2 amateur wood projects. Made the corn hole game for my daughters boyfriend for his birthday this weekend & the teak step pads on my BFN were pretty rough, so I decided to try to replace them myself. Got one of them done & one more to do.

Don't be so hard on yourself! How much trouble was it to make those teak strips? I know Feelgood M.D. is missing a couple on his 86 BFN. |

I am actually pretty sure cornhole originated around southern Ohio.

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 |

They are starting to play down here in the Deep south as Skicats pics showed you. Kim and I went to a huge sports bar and the had a huge game room set aside that had that specific area for that game. Looks fun! Guess its a Northerners version of Horse Shoes.

That would be perfect skicat, his are old and gray so your old ones would blend in perfectly. Can you bring 2 or 3 to GL?

Al,
Nice work. ![]() I just finished this for the house up north. Douglas Fir with both leaves. Now my next decision is if I should distress it or not and then stain or natural?? |

That's sharp Pete. Do you have a detail pic of the long edge joinery?
I've heard it all now! Distressed?!!? All that work getting it as straight and square as I'm sure it is, and you wanna beat it with a chain? I could go on with this...Mr. KeepItOriginal. ![]() DF is soft enough to get torn up on its own. ![]() |

Greg,
I appreciate the comment from a class A woodworker. Yup, I've pretty much decided the same and not to distress it, leave it the natural color and even go the easy route with a Tung oil. |

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. |

Thanks Tim.
That paddle is a wall hanger for me. What Pete said about that wood is understated IMHO. 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. |

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.
