Thanks!Very nice.
Thanks! - Yes you need to build one!That is a beautiful!! I would love to do one of those someday.
Yes, the concrete and stone were sealed with a wet look masonry sealer, I think it was from Behr.Quite the undertaking. I looked at something like this but in the end, seemed like too much to take on at the time. Good job.
Did you seal the concrete with anything?
This reminded me of Uni days, and the Civil Engineering departments of surrounding colleges would have concrete canoe races. Free eats and free beer! It was such a fine time!Finished stripping the kayak. Now for a lot of sanding, epoxy, and fiberglass.
Thanks Fotodog. Yes they are brass but they are 5/16" rivets. Not sure if I like them, but they are what are normally used with that knife blade. I like my knife handle a little fatter, and the rivet pieces won't grab each other unless the knife handle thickness is 3/4" or less. Brass sands as easy as wood, but scratches easy. These rivets have fine scratches in them that I could have taken out with 800-100 grit sandpaper, but I didn't want to sand the handle that fine so the Osmo could sink in. I might go with 1/8" dia brass pins on the next one.Nice knife Ron, and nicely photographed on that weathered wood. Are those brass pins in the handle? I haven’t worked with brass yet, but interested in learning.
Edit: Sorry for the double post, this forum had problems accepting my reply.
That is pretty cool.I built a bar around the tree in my yard:

You time traveled from the 19th century, right. DIY everything & great quality work. The figured (tiger) maple background is a nice touch too.I've got 6 or 7 more of these to make. Hand stitched . Name stamps made on my 3d printer and pressed into the leather.

Thanks !Agree - Your quite the craftsman.
Thanks - I found a table online that had the figured maple top as a glue-up with edge grain exposed for increased figure. So that's what I did on my drafting table. On edge really makes the figure pop.You time traveled from the 19th century, right. DIY everything & great quality work. The figured (tiger) maple background is a nice touch too.
Thanks!Ronstar--that hand stitch is so straight and tiny, looks wonderful!
