Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted April 27, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted April 27, 2020 Update: I've managed to make 13 face shields so far, and my neighbor has put them into use with good results! I'm hoping to be "put out of business" when a few industrial efforts that are underway ramp up to making millions of shields. But in the meantime, it's satisfying to make my tiny contribution.

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted April 27, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted April 27, 2020 Pavestone path for the dog’s mudpath Very tough on an old man’s back but an overdue project. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ReallyGottaSki Posted May 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2020 my combing pads' backing plywood had about had it, After some internal deliberation, applied this Chinesium EVA, for about 80 bucks Should gain 1.5" of interior width Hopefully it wont be a puddle on the floor in the summer heat Ground around the log, due to a persistent weeping leak, applied a layer of glass with totalboat epoxy with some silica thickener and a few drops of black dye. getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted May 6, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2020 @ReallyGottaSki - I have to do that on the family's old boat too one of these summers. Luckily it lives on a lift so it doesn't get too wet. Unluckily - I had the mufflers out 2 seasons ago and they don't need to come out again for any purpose.

Baller tap Posted May 30, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 30, 2020 Finally got'er done, at least good enough for a test ride. If it skis well I may pretty it up a bit, got a little sloppy with the inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cougfan Posted May 31, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 31, 2020 Built a covered patio over part of my deck so we can use it all year around. Now I can get the barbeque/smoker that I want and my wife gets her outdoor deck furniture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cougfan Posted June 3, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2020 My project of reseeding my lawn has now paid dividends. Started this project back in mid April and now it looks like a lawn again. Soon I will be mowing it again. Thanks to a wet cool spring I didn’t have to water it once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dvskier Posted July 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 7, 2020 @cacman Thats a nice setup. One of my neighbors had a similar one for his 1947 Gar Wood. Being a mahogany boat he had refinish and maintain the wood frequently. Sadly the new owner of the home removed the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 Earlier in the thread (a couple months ago) I posted pics of the raw wood just starting....here is finished product. TV/equipment stand made from walnut with mahogany door and side panels, and mahogany edge inlay on top, and mahogany corner splines on doors and drawer fronts.

Baller Andre Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 Beautiful craftmanship! Lot of attention to details,congrats! Is there a cooling fan for the right side? Seems it could get hot in there with all components stack on top of each other...? How many hours do you estimate for the tv stand alone? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance!

Baller ScottScott Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 @Andre Thanks.... I'm actually not 100% done on the TV stand. There will be a removable back panel (held with magnetic catches,) but haven't done that yet, so at this point there is lots of ventilation. With the back in place there will still be passive ventilation (holes on the bottom, and vent slots at top of back panel.) After that panel is in place I will see how warm things get and add a fan if needed. I have a home theater installation business, and related custom furniture/built-ins has grown out from there. I have some thermostatically controlled fans I can add if needed. I should have tracked the hours. It stretched out a bit. If I put 8 hours a day into it I would guess it would have taken a good week. Lots of glue-ups and joinery....takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 @ScottScott Awesome woodworking! For me the most enjoyable part of furniture making is the design and ending up with a unique piece that you'll see no where else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted July 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2020 Here is a pic of one of my favorite pieces I've done. It's a table for my wife to display her rock collection. There are rocks from all over the world in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
