Very nice work Dave. I don't think I ever seen a turned wooden object that I did not like. There is just something abut the beauty of finished wood pieces.

Service after the Sale...

Post by nuhobby »

Some time back I made this tea-serving tray:

The build steps were mentioned in this thread:
https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?t=3371

Lately, my wife and mother-in-law, enjoying their own indulgence -- a nice granite machined "Surface Plate" they installed in the kitchen -- noticed that the tea tray wasn't sitting flat any more. I turned it over and eyeballed the two bottom edges in "winding stick" visual style. A few strokes with the block plane got the tray sitting dead flat again on their "measurement surface" :) .

Everyone needs a granite counter top on which to check projects for flatness.

In fact, it would even be nice to have one for assembly and glue up.:eek:

It's not as grand as the other projects I've seen on the forum but her is my first completed project. It's a silver tip brush with a Bacote handle.

It looks great. I really want one, but have been hesitant to order the brush.
Nice work. Enjoy.

If you are a part time band leader, does that make you a semi-conductor? Where do all the "unguided" bombs go?

Thanks,Dave. I am pretty certain the figured veneer is Carpathian elm burl. Although a bit dark, I think it is from age. Here is a shot of the fallboard decal. The fallboard was NOT stripped, as the decal is no longer avail. Even the ones that were, cost upwards of 200 dollars! Now the bi#% is avoiding me! I need the balance due badly! jimsjinx
