Thanks Martin starting the oil process now another 2/3 coats should do the stand.Got to eat some breakfast @1PM steak/eggs then start the top.

Everything went together just great nothing like a plan in motion working properly.The stand is one of the tightest I have ever built using the mortise/tenons !I have switched gears this morning on the top weras I was going to do Sapele it will now be Maple with 1 maybe 2 inlays of Sapele the color change will break up the monotony.I deplore stains for the most part when you want to change the color change the wood.

Something for Momma

This coming along well thus far had a SNAFU but hid/fixed.The side you see now is not glued together just the mortise/tenon holding it together the middle rung is about .010 to short I hate that I will take it out and see if will fit one of the other sides better other wise I have shimed before.The tablesaw I have set up for box joints and doing tenons in this case(usually do by hand ) the measurements depth of the blade has changed.The wood is going to pop once I apply my oils and I have started on the top yet.

Every man has a Fear.

My wife has been pestering me about a new table/nightstand type deal for the living room to go by her Lazy Boy.Well,I decided on a triangle base three corners,three braces(7") with three 1/4" stringers.The top will be an octagon with a basic quarter round.The woods I am using is my favorite Sapele(cheap African mahogany) is the main wood and minor is a Birch.I find my self when building pieces using the numbers of God alot like 3,7,8,10,12 and 13 the 12 tribes,apostles and Jesus.That formula lends itself to small pieces like this one and the last one,my way of honoring God in my work.I am pretty useless otherwise The rubber band method works great for holding together pieces of wood of odd shapes learned it on tour in Lafayette LA one day from an old man maybe 10/12 years ago first time I have used it works better with ole bicycle inner tubes.The angles have been perplexing at times and just had to trust my math from back in the day when going to school for engineering.The Birch up front was somewhat of a Birch knowing all along relative angles exist/abound in the pieces on the table/floor think and one will persevere.I did not want to have to look at a 60' angle up front hence the solution.

I second that.

I have been using it of late on the lenses on IP's works well.Good luck with the A/C unit Scott seems our heat spell along the Gulf Coast may of broken been below 90 the last few days and the week projection is not above 90 and just 88 alot of days.

Doing a bang up job on this one!

I get that way alot have only scratched the surface.

Very Nice Mike!

That is typical of YT these days it seems.

Just ordered Scott but I P/U the RN Roma 1/350 with my coupon to boot for $106

This is an Italeri Kit 1/48 Me-109 G-6 U-3 of ANR,Tenete(Lt) Ermete Ferrero,3 Sq,2nd Gp,VillaFranca N.Italy 1944.I think I went a little heavy on the mottling but I was having fun and the swirl for the propeller well........... Time =8/12hrs painting/decals being the most time.

That's Good to Hear Ernie keep us posted and Harv has plenty of work that's undone!!!!!!

Was over in Mobile today just needed to get out of town p/u this for $28 it's actually plank on bulkhead.

I am also running out of room John time to build another cabinet.

I like that color scheme should be an attractive girl when all said and done.

Well ..Welll it's about dam time we see some paint Peter(in my southern backwood voice with a bit of a stutter/squeak) All is looking good Peter!

I appreciate that Martin, Thanks Kurok this one was on the shelf for about three years and my first attempt with mask.I now have about 8 more sets have come in since this build was finished.
