My first actaul work using the 10ER. I cut the profile on my neighbours' bandsaw (mine is undergoing refurb), and used the sanding wheel to clean it up some. I used an oil finish, nothing fancy, and let it dry. I found the coat hooks in a local artsy store, and I liked the look of them. the unit is attached to studs (who knew? I was ready to use plugs!) with gold-coloured lag bolts with allan-wrench slots. The wife likes it, so that's all that counts!

Nice job! Those hooks are very interesting indeed! Do they swivel?

First Work
Thanks, all. The wife was very sceptical about the staggered arrangement, and if there were 5 of these hooks at the store I would have made it more symmetrical, but it turned out well. I really like the grain figure in the wood and wanted that to show. The pattern, well, it just appealed to me... like it was standing on something.
Heathicus, the hooks don't swivel, they are welded in place. Once I had it up, I kind of wished that they DID swivel, that way, I wouldn't have had to build out the floor moulding so that the door stop would prevent the front door from hitting the furthest left hook!
Next project is to dig up a big black walnut stump, and get it to a local guy with a wood miser! For wood-working, I think I am going to spend some time working on rudiments... lathe work, cutting mortises, that kind of thing... get ready for when inspiraiton strikes!
Shipwright, where abouts are you?
