A couple of new ones

My Christmas post mentioned that I had another music box to make and it was finally finished a couple of weeks ago. This one is similar to the last one but was made from oak and paduk. It has a picture of my G-Grandaughter on the front so I chose not to show that face. This one plays "You Are M...

Re: charlese

Steve:

I also offer my condolences to you and your family.

As many others have said, Charlese was a mainstay of this forum for quite some time. I enjoyed his posts and his comments on mine were valuable to me. I am saddened to hear of his passing

He has been and will continue to be missed!

Re: Anybody Using a Microjig

Just bought one today, gripper 3D advanced. Have not put it together yet but look forward to trying it out.

Re: Anybody Using a Microjig

Thanks for the feedback. I have an opportunity to get a GRR-Ripper with several options on sale, though in $Cdn. it is still quite expensive. But I might just go and look at it. I know Milescraft sells a similar product for less but I understand the Microjig is made in the U.S. so I would prefer to ...

Anybody Using a Microjig

Are any of you using a Microjig with your ShopSmith? I have been considering one of them for some time and wondered if it was practical on a ShopSmith. For instance does it clear the splitter after removing the blade guard.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Chistmas Gifts

Thanks for the comments! Always nice to get feedback. The musical movement was purchased on Amazon. It's a Sanyo 12 note movement and little tinny but ok for a two year old. There is another supplier in the U.S., "The Music Box Attic" that has a much wider selection and I suspect better q...

Chistmas Gifts

I have been busy making a few gifts again this year, as I'm sure many of you have. The first items were five bread knives (no pictures but similar to what I have done in the past). The nicest one (maple and purple heart) went to a grandson and his wife along with a matching cutting board I had made ...

Re: Rustic cherry bowl

Very nice bowl!

The shape, grain, and colouring are great. Nice idea with the branding iron also.

Congrats.

Re: Floating Coffee Shelf

Looks Good to me!

And, the choice of woods fits right in with a coffee and cream theme.
