Re: Grinnell or Bust
65 miles and I still need to put a finish on my speakers, they just sound so good that I don't want to take them apart.If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation.
What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness.
It's slow death.

Re: Grinnell or Bust
I've made some progress. All the tear out has been filled and sanded. The veneer has been cut and one set of small boxes have a coat of glue on them. I've started to put some ribs in the sides of the large boxes to fasten some cross bracing to. This afternoon I was trying to finish up converting some 5/4 cherry into trim for the corners. I don't have a joiner but discovered that a good router table with a 1/2" shank 1 1/2 inch flush trim bit works very well to clean up the saw marks.
Ribs for bracing
Glue up the veneer
Lots of sawdust
Solid Cherry trim

That saw dust works good for oil clean up or fire pits.If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation.

Re: Grinnell or Bust
If Craig K comes, he will travel a bit further, and to be truthful, I am complaining more than I'm bragging because it really is a long drive, one that is made twice in 3 days with a pretty hectic and tiring day in between for the event. It should be an interesting DIY event because it will be the first one my wife has ever gone to (I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's her last one, too!).

Re: Grinnell or Bust
At the DIY in Chicago a few years ago some of the wives picked up some of the top door prizes IIRC. My wife might make the trip this time.

Re: Grinnell or Bust
I wasn't advocating prize hoarding, more like acknowledging the fantastic work the guys have done in lining up sponsors and prizes. Cheryle has come to these events before and now it's time to introduce my son to this. He's moderately interested in what we're doing...well, at least when I can break him away from the video games anyway.Last edited by martyh; 09-26-2013, 04:21 PM.Comment
