Grinnell or Bust

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!).

Are you bragging or complaining Paul? :D

That saw dust works good for oil clean up or fire pits.

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

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.

Re: Grinnell or Bust

69 miles for me which will give me more time to work on the speakers. Filling tear out and sanding is tedious.

No offense to this gentleman, but the minimum allowable distance to Grinnell is 300 miles. We have guys driving laps around Des Moines just to meet that requirement! ;)

363 miles for me and my posse that weekend.
