What did you do this long weekend?

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

Finally finished my "Krenov" cabinet

Come on Philly, we all want to see the handles!

Here is my contribution for the weekend:

I second Derek, we need photos Philly!

Derek, that is a very elegant saw I guess it must be strong wood with the slender frame members?

 

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

strong wood

Chris, it is made from Australian Jarrah and American Oak. It feels rock solid.

What a fine weekend it was!

I ripped and applied new exterior casings for a window, replaced the window sill (you've got to try out the cellular PVC replacement sills!), adjusted the trunnion mount on my Grizzly 444.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if contractors' saws had a real "adjustment" for trunnion mounts? I told my wife I was heading to the shop to adjust my table saw. She was a little concerned when she heard the hammering. ;-)

But it's tuned in nicely and the cutting is sweet!

 

[Philly]

Sorry Guys-didn't mean to torment you! :lol:
Left my digi-camera at home so couldn't upload photo's.
Tomorrows another day, though.... :wink:
Cheers

I made a box to store my dado set in. :shock:
Just needs some finnish and a couple of bits of old mouse mat stuck in as padding. 8)

 

[Philly]

O.k.!
Here's a few pics to wet your whistle...... :lol:

The handles were fun-I have a couple of dozen different designs in different timbers going spare........ :roll:
A full "completed project" post is to follow,

Philly

:shock:

I have no words.........

 

[Chris Knight]

Philly,
That is a terrific job. It looks really very good indeed. Definitely worthy of a Krenov disciple!

(You gotta come clean- when were you in Fort Bragg?)

 

[Gill]

I don't think you could have chosen better handles, Philly. Congratulations - it turned out nice.

[Philly]

Ladies and Gents!
Many thanks for your kind words-it came out alright in the end. Handles were a real head scratcher-went with simple and small in the end. They "feel" right though-their delicate size means you dont yank it about, and lends a refined air. At least in my opinion..... :roll:
And Chris-no Fort Bragg for me. Not even Cornwall........ :wink:
Oh and Noel-I have suitably chastised the Wife for not watering that plant correctly.... :lol:
Cheers
Philly

Philly

I'm pleased to see that you clearly listened to my advise on the handles and made them recessed and not rectangular. Especially not the same colour as the trim . Can I at least claim reverse psychology? :lol:

They look great!

=D> So do we call you Mr Krenov now, or what...?

Cheers, Alf

P.S. Whet our appetites? Rather than wet our whistles? Unless you're going to stand us all a drink as well, in which case mine's a half of Strongbow... :wink:

 

[tim]

Philly,

Very nice indeed - really well done - think you made the right choice with the handles. =D>



As to my weekend - I moved 4 tons of earth, rubble and rocks and made a 3.5m bench seat/ retaining wall in Ipe.

All of that started with a "can you give me a hand in the garden please?".:shock:

Cheers

Tim

 

[Chris Knight]

Tim,

I reckon your dictionary needs updating!

Chris

Obviously nothing beats a public display of ignorance but I'm not sureI understand your point above or the earlier reference to Fort Bragg.

Cheers

Stupid Tim
