What We're Making

[Ronstar]

Workshop pencil cabinet using scraps. Leftover piece of mesquite, leftover piece of sapele from my kayak build, and inside drawers from poplar leftover from BIL's entertainment center.

Wow! That is a beautiful piece of work! That would be something I would have front and center in my home and would never have it in a workshop.

 

[Fotodog]

Very nice Ron, that would look great in any room.

Beautiful work!

Thanks everyone! I'd like to bring this and more into the house, but Boss Lady says no more. Too many things in the house she says.

Practicing some leather work - Niece and her tribe want to visit and make some wallets. So I whipped up a simple wallet now before they come so as not to embarrass myself when we make some as a group.

"simple", "just whip it up"

("The proof is obvious")

Ronstar... amazing.

 

[Surewhitey]

Nice. Is there a stitch on the back? How did you get the "capacity" void?

I know right? That’s how talented people talk. My daughter is talented (artistic) and doesn’t see the uniqueness in it. Thinks most anyone can do that stuff. They can’t. It’s a true gift nurtured with hard work. Very nice Ronstar.

Ronstar, Beautiful wallet. How did you estimate the recess? Can the back of that snap scratch a credit card?

Love it and I see you’ve already put my initials on it! Does that mean it’s mine….?!

**upon closer inspection, it looks like a R(as in Ron….) looked like PH..me!

Very nice wallet, did you put a loop on the back to mount it on a belt ?

Thanks - No. It just fits in my pocket like a normal wallet.

Ronstar, Beautiful wallet. How did you estimate the recess? Can the back of that snap scratch a credit card?

Thanks. I made about 20 patterns from notebook paper until I got the sizing down to where I thought it would work. I suppose that the back of the snap would scratch a credit card. I have some very thin pieces of leather that I can glue to the snap back area to prevent that. I’ve done that on knife sheaths and it seems to work ok.

 

[Ronstar]

Nice. Is there a stitch on the back? How did you get the "capacity" void?

Thanks - I’m not sure if I understand the question, but there are no stitches on the back. The back flap is open to the bill area, and the bills are secured? When the snap is snapped. Here’s a right side view.

Can a person ever have to many clamps?

It's obvious you need a few more, time to BTD

Seems I always need one more, your rack looks good.

Yep, added 6 more last week. Still could use more though.

Spring is coming, which means yard sales, which means more clamps. They tend to be a great way to find them. I don't know if it's widows or what, but they often underprice their husbands tools.

My wife wanted an all in one feeding station for our cat Ziggy, where his food, water, vitamins, and treats are all in one place. I took on the assignment with some trepidation, knowing that Ziggy is very demanding. No sloppy joints or mismatched grain for him. I decided that I better use some nicely figured maple accented by walnut splines and trim, and the grain should flow around each corner. A divided drawer seemed like a necessity, with a matching walnut handle. And of course the grain on the drawer face needed to blend seamlessly with the front of the box. I finished it with wipe on Poly instead of my usual Osmo, knowing that he sometimes gets a bit messy when drinking, particularly after he hits the catnip.

My wife is pleased, and so far Ziggy seems to like it, meaning he hasn’t knocked it off the table or used it as his scratching post. High praise from a cat.

 

[Ronstar]

That is the Taj Mahal of cat feeding stations! Nice work Fotodog!

Thanks Ron, just trying to keep up with your nice work!
