Any woodworkers?

Spray it.

 

Not sure yet.

 

Well I finished up my BBQ table and grill make over.
I attached the cross braces to the bottom of the table with some stainless steel screws. Only the center screw is tight to allow the table to expand and contract and remain flat.

Then I used the old top as a drilling guide to drill the holes for the mounting bolts. I clamped a block of wood to the bottom so the Brad point drill bit didn't blow out the backside when I broke through.

I tapped in some new stainless steel carriage bolts and used some blue locktite and tighten everything down.

And since I was doing the make over I put a new stainless steel grate on too.

I re installed the utensil hooks but I only use those for the grill brush

Still loving my Weber and now even more. I like the increased surface area. It's only a couple inches wider and 9 inches longer.

 

That's great work sir! You should ponder sharing a few photos here

Working on some hand carved cedar trim that will go around the top of a cedar planter. The design is one that I drew, it also matches the 8’ oriental sloping cedar bridge that I have been building. Pictures of that will come later.

 

Very Nice

 

Thank you

 

Those look am amazing. I can’t wait to see the final outcome. How did you carve it? CNC?

 

Thank you. No CNC…that’s all old school scroll saw and hand chisel work. I’m behind the times in that regard. But it brings me peace…a labor of love.

 

Well I've had some discussion here about sanders and dust collection, here's a little video I did about what I decided to do and why.

Making some upper cabinets for the shop to put our crap in. Once thats done, will remove the work bench and make some lowers to store more of our crap.
Kreg pockethole machine is friggin awesome, hammered all the pieces out within a couple minutes.

 

Nice! You got the super duper deeelux model.

 

And the cover still fits the BBQ, but I think I need a kids ball to set on the table so that it raises the cover up and then makes the water run off.

 

Worth every penny! Buy once, cry once. We wanted the Castle one but not for another $1,500. We only cry to a certain point

 

Walnut frame today for a new painting from my dad.



Burney Falls in NorCal. My wife and I visited at spring break. I took the photo and my father painted it.



My son went down to my Father In Laws shop and turned this candle holder for his mom. We are not sure of what species of wood it is, but it came out great.

 

It looks like a piece of maple burl.

 

I’m trying to figure out the best way to spray on the urethane.

 

Pour a little in your mouth and spray it on the wood. Eliminates the need for a compressor and spray gun



















I’ll shut up now

 

If your going to spray that spar urethane you'll need to thin it out, spare is usually too thick to spray as is. And it takes a long time to cure.
