Woodworking

[Burnham]

Wow. First class piece, Bob.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It looks quite awesome to me!!!

 

[flushcut]

Awesome works!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hmmmm...

 

[rfwoody]

wow. that's really pretty looking!... but I wouldn't want to use it for anything because it would mess up the good looks.

 

[squisher]

Nah. Just like hardwood floors, marks would just add character.

 

[Burnham]

Well, I'm with Robert on this one, Justin. But I could see having a dense rubber mat cut to fit to throw on there for the odd hauling job .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just be careful, that's all.

Rock that fine wood.

 

[Raj]

Milling jobs made me purchase this. It's a nice step up from my 12" but the 12" has some serious power.

 

[squisher]

Cool. I have a small planer, 12" I think. Saved my ass earlier this year on matching up some hardwood floors for my old house.

That milling seems like it's working out really well for you.

 

[Raj]

I've always woodworked, and always wanted a sawmill. Live edge sales are ok, low, but ok, I figure having the boards dressed will increase sales. The boards I had under 12" that fit my old planer (yellow thing in the background) sold fast, and I always wanted a bigger planer for myself anyway....

$500 (cad) I don't think I could go wrong. (Bad bearing noise now, I'll figure it out tomorrow)

 

[Raj]

Planer had a noisey cutter head bearing. Shot of grease between the sheild did the trick. Found a nail in some sugar maple I milled a while ago. This piece is 14 or so inches wide. Gearing up for live edge mantles. Next is the work on the kiln.

Here’s something to think about when cutting live edge stuff...

They fetch big money and the Ecopoxy is made in Canada

 

[Raj]

I wonder if I can find some locally. I was going to try 2 part autobody resin.

Pete, from what little I’ve read autobody resin isn’t self leveling and holds any bubbles that get in it during mixing. The Ecopoxy is supposed to be thinner, no bubbles, self leveling blah blah blah. The ecopeeps have their own color kit too.

A river table-waterfall combo would be bad ash!

 

[BlackSmith]

This would be badazz...

 

[Raj]

Nice!

I think I'm going to dress up some mantles or shelves. I was thinking 7ft by 14". Varied thickness. That sould be decent size?

 

[Raj]

Some ash, butternut, mullberry, catalpa and sugar maple gone through the planer.

 

[squisher]

Damn you're a milling planing maniac!

Looks nice.

 

[BlackSmith]

Another bowl almost finished...

 

[Raj]

Nice work!

All I have are charcuterie boards. Sold one. Other 2 are presents. Butternut, catalpa, ash.

 

[squisher]

Charcuterie. Very trendy.

 

[BlackSmith]

Had to look that up, very cool.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Both are quite nice!!!

Bob, you need my mailing address for that bowl?

Like you don't already have it...
