Thank you Dan, Rob...

 

Alright, last one, or i'll be giving away the Trollspiel designs that I only ever make one of... (and not strickly Alaskan related!)

 

This one, Ive been meaning to do for 20+ years, after a visiting an old man in the highlands who built his house on a diet of Fly Agaric mushrooms & an old Husky..

 

This weeks project. Hollowed out ash butt ( & bleeding knuckles from kickbacks! ). Put in the kiln and dried super quick to get it to check madly - and it has. And looking in good shape. There's a startburst of checks radiating out, which I will fill with black 2-part filler, sand to 400 grit, and then about 800 coats of lacquer. Im excited about this one.

 

Skipped it this year, but will have a stall at Kent County Fayre next year.

Great stuff!

 

Liking the furniture - wish I had the patience for joining stuff but an impact driver and bolts do a great job.

 

Ash butt looks good - but plenty sawdust and fumes I bet!

Fumes? Cor, nuthin like the 10L I inhaled from that 880 at the weekend milling 120cm chestnut. The real downside to chainsaw milling!

Loving the the Gothic table, how the hell did you manage to do it.

Thank you,Harvey. Method....

 

8" softwoods, run thru the thicknesser, biscuit jointed, glued & clamped. I use PU glue on that, goes off in 10 minutes.

With any designs, draw & them out on mdf first for a template. Cut them out with a jigsaw. Loads of rubbing down, and a dremmel to get into the peaks & corners.

 

Biscuit joint & glue the whole thing together - no lover of screws & nails..
