#petershiff sent me this. He seemed very excited.

Speaker grills for some really fast boats.

I really gotta talk the boss man into buying a CNC lathe. Doing this on a manual was tedious. HDPE bushings. All tolerances within .005" (at least until it goes somewhere warmer or cooler) #maker #mechanicals #tradesman

Built a #wedding arch out of Douglas Fir. No fasteners. All #joinery. T- bridle on top, mortise and tenon for upright to base, slot mortise for 45° supports and lap joint for the base. Fun #project and now I want to try building a timber frame barn lol. Also.... I really want a mortiser. Doing that with a chisel was super time consuming. #makestr #woodworking #craftsman

I had a very intetesting project come in that required some creativity in producing. The customer required an 8' panel with a 3" radius bend to fit in a dado. I built a form to control the radius then took some cal rod heaters to heat the material. The radius was so wide that it couldn't evenly heat the material, leaving 3 individual bend lines and a very unsatisfactory result. Solution? Ceramic flooring tiles spread down the length. Worked a charm to get the job done. Part turned out beautifully. Only issue.... almost burned down the table. I'll have to solve that problem if I ever stumble my way into another similar project.

Getting things together to build an arch for my cousins #wedding. Wood only. Gonna practice my #joinery. #woodworking #craftsman #makestr

Making a #chessboard a different way than normal. Turning out kinda cool. Filled the pockets with sand and rocks then flooded with a lightly green tinted #epoxy.

Can confirm. I've done a lot in my life and out of every experience and accomplishment the one I wouldn't ever give back is raising my children.

Right or left? Help me decide! #woodworking

Finally got some spare time and took it to get a bit more organized. Cut the foam on my #laser and now my stair tread fixture is in a nice carry case instead of thrown in a bucket. I think I might do this for more of my #tools. #woodworking #maker #makestr

Enjoyed good bourbon and great conversation last night with a friend.

First go at a #chessboard. Just got done pouring epoxy. I think this thing is gonna be a winner. Making for a coworker who has a set of #chess peices but no board to match. Wood is african anigre. I'll be constructing the border out of the same. Now for the week long wait before breaking it out of the form so I can surface, frame and polish.

Wifes christmas present turned out pretty cool.

Made another one. Maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, spalted elm and ash. #woodworking

Walnut, cherry and figured maple made for a friends mother. I love the grain in the walnut. Super pretty.

Walnut and paduck make a good combo. Can't wait to see this one oiled up.

Just wrapping this one up for my father's Christmas present. He's a fanatical scuba diver so I think he will like it. #woodworking #makestr #CNC #art

Playing with patterns, what does the hive mind think? Would this be too busy? #cuttingboard #woodworking #makestr #craftsman #art

.003 tolerance on all dimensions out of nylon on a manual lathe. That was tedious
