Treasure and Cutting Housings

Well my experimenting went a stage further to mixing polyester resin and adding brass filings,and a little green colour in some of the shakes and voids in this oak. If you enlarge these two pictures, you might just see.

I also got the housings cut, to let the table leg boards into the base. With marking knife, mallet, chisel and a little bullnose plane. I set to work removing the material.

A little trip to the carboot sale (flea market) Yielded me some treasure for less than £10.00.
A very old first aid kit, with some old dressings. Along with an almost new Leatherman Charge.

Back in the workshop feeling inspired..;b

Experimenting

Hi
I've got a table to make for my cousin. I'm using the oak I was preparing a few weeks back .
It has several shakes which I'm thinking about patching with some copper dutchmen, which I'm experimenting with at the moment.
As you will see in the pictures...:b

Inspired

Yes I know it's been a while.
Maybe some of you have ran off understandably so!
The long winter is over and I feel inspired once more, So I took this oak out to see it in the sunlight and start preparing it for future projects.;b

2017

Happy 2017
I hope it brings health and happiness.. ;b

Horse

Horse time..
Mountain Ash horses heads with Hazel sticks.
And a couple of Silver Birch topped stools with Hazel Under carriage ...
It's been a while.
I've had a lot of studying to do..
I'll try and put a bit more time this way... ;b
