Cold, wet, windy

I’m sort of with Rolf. I use blue tape. When I do compound cutting I wrap the cut out piece in packing tape when I put it back in to cut other side. I buy blue tape in all the sizes. I use mostly the 3”, which isn’t really 3”. When I get to the end of the board, I’ll use a narrower width....

Good luck in your new/old job. I have a hint for dental tools: we use the scraper they clean your teeth with, to remove glue that has squeezed out when gluing up. Just a thought! Happy that you will still be on here. Can't believe its been 15 years since I met you and Shannon. Lucky I was fired that...

That’s cheap. The grass fed cow milk is $7.50 a half gallon. Raw milk sold as “pet milk” but legal in 47 states for humans but not Maryland. Also has about 3” of real cream on the top. I learned a lot about cows. Cows fed grain, etc, milked twice a day only live 5-7 years. Grass fed cows, on...

I have some crafter friends who started a business about 6 years ago with glass jars and words cut from the cricut machine and asked “If I made these would you buy from me” and the business Here’s your deSign was born. These girls are killing it!...

At least this market is totally undercover. We had to move from the end spot because of the rain blowing in but we were between the mushroom guy and the guy who sells milk for $7.00 a gallon so the traffic was heavy. Rolf, supposed to be in the upper 70s by week-end and sunny.

Did I say monsoon rain, for last day of spring market. Best market of the spring season!!! Repeat customers and we sold 2 more pepper grinders. Lots of puzzles. On to summer market!

No. When you chose your picture, did you click on Done before continuing? I miss that step alot.

Thanks for the info. The flower is aromatic cedar, which I know changes color when finished. I want to keep it as close as possible to the color it is now. I have lost of scraps to test on before I put the finish on. I'm sure I'll be back for more advice as I get further into this project. This is...

Would love to see a picture.

Thank you for all the encouragement and compliments. With the Guinevere it is really easy to shape. Besides, Bruce bought me the complete system about 5 years ago and he is glad I’m finally using it!! As for the finish, what do I use? I know some use a gel, but don’t know what kind....

I finally jumped down the “rabbit hole” of intarsia. After I cut this I had it sitting where I had to look at it everyday and finally thought, now or never. I think I nailed the flower. I had all the leaves done then found some green poplar and recut them. It really doesn’t take as long as I thought...

He’s only there in the fall and holiday markets. His turnings are very pretty and his pepper mills sell for $100+. He uses mostly exotic woods. He is a very nice guy. And Brenda makes the best jam!!...

He uses some museum wax as his final finish and buffs using the Beale system.

We did the farmers market Sat and Sunday and had the peppermills out. One of the guys Bruce knows sells peppermills at the market in the fall. He commented how nice Bruce’s were and talked to us for a bit. His wife walked by and I thought her head was going to spin completely around when she saw...

Great article in Woodworkers journal Carole....

He was going to use the ting oil but it was so old I told him not to. He usually uses Friction wax and finishes with museum wax (?) or he uses a beeswax with something he adds to it followed by wax and Beale system. Or he uses blond shellac followed by waxing. Wasn’t I helpful? Like I said, I if it...

It will bring tears to her eyes. Beautiful.

They look like they are ready to go for a walk. Simply beautiful.

We did them a few years ago and couldn’t get the price. He has some kits left over so we’ll see how it goes....

[will8989]

Bruce wants to use this on pepper grinders. He has never used so any all suggestions are welcome. I say if it isn’t broke don’t fix it....
