    Back in the shop

    Finally after only 3 session of PT I can get back out to the shop and make some saw dust. Cut this out today using a piece of basswood (not impressed with it's character) and finished with EVO... wait.. that's what my wife uses in the kitchen. ELO! Nope... that's a band from the 70's. APO... heck no..haven't used one of those in a while! Yeah... it was BLO! Just because I wanted to see how it came out. Total size of basswood blank was
    6" x 8" and 5/8" thick. I'm finally getting to finish MY set of handcuffs Trout really kicked my butt getting a set done. I'll finish them tomorrow after another PT session.

      Nice job Pop.

      I have to agree with you about the "character" of those basswood slabs. The ones I cut were a little soft and I use water based finishes so the end grain got a little rough on me.

      They sure look nice when they are done though.

      Keep up the great work

                          Nice cut. I wouldn't mind knowing where to get some of those basswood blanks. What is BLO though..?

                              Dunno where Pop got his but I got a couple of those basswood slabs at Walmart recently. Michael's craft store sells them too, but they're way more expensive there!

                              BLO is boiled linseed oil.

                                          You can buy the blanks from AC Moore or Micheals. I assume that they are national chains. I bought a light table from ACMoore last weekend with a 50% coupon it saved me $40 . Both stores have 40 and 50 % coupons every week.
                                          BLO is boiled lindseed oil (if it hasn't already been mentioned.
