Glad you make it through the day Al given all the calamity. 

Here’s to clear sailing for the future. 

[morphsci]

That was a serious run of freaky bad luck. Hopefully, it means you should have a nice long run of clear sailing.

OMG that is a terrible run of misfortune. Fortunately you made it out mostly unscathed. On a positive note you are all set for beatnik poetry night. Just need to find your beret. 
 

I’ve read multiple times about the Incra cause of Saw Stops to trigger. 
 

Clamp rack looks great!

I'm looking for my beret right now. But I already looked up the Incra-Sawstop Dilemma, so thanks for pointing that out. 

[MexicanDragon]

Sorry for the rough run of luck, Al, but wanted to let you know that I haven't had a biscuit in weeks; was trying to do my part to keep you safe. Seems like it wasn't enough...

G'luck with the beret hunt.

[Grahame]

Beret's?

Gun Jesus models a few so you don't have to.

What do we think?

Finally got all the stupid rods cut and painted so I can start putting the frame together for the dog crate. 

Hoping to have time tomorrow in the last of the warming weather to get it all nailed together and try to spray on some stain and poly.

I guess I'll just have to hope that Jeff hasn't made us an accessory to some type of dungeon he's actually building.

Checking his area for missing persons now.

[VPI]

While they are some serious bars, I laid them out horizontally and used metallic sparkle paint to make it appear less jail-like. 

[swt61]

There's still enough room between those bars for someone to grab your curious poodle, and threaten to snap it's neck unless you release them.

"It puts the lotion in the basket".

[VPI]

Also, my steel wool/vinegar stain is coming along nicely, just trying to decide if I spray on Poly after the stain, or if I have to let it cure for some time to get to final color?

I am quickly running out of staining temps, maybe 2 days, so I was hoping to spray and seal all today.

 
Any of the wood gurus have experience with vinegar sticks?

[swt61]

Yes. The vinegar takes much longer to dry than alcohol based stains. It won't be dry enough to spray today. At least not without the help of a heater/fan.

[VPI]

Well, first coat turned out much different than I expected from the test boards I did. Way too barn wood for me. 
 

[dsavitsk]

Looks how I'd expect a first coat to look. You should let it dry, sand it, and do it again. That will knock down the raised grain and help fill in the pores to even the color. Then sand it again.

[swt61]

I agree with Doug. Looks great for the first coat.

You may even make the cover of

DUNGEON MONTHLY

[VPI]

Starting to finally appear gray, but alas I am out of sunlight and probably temp levels for proper finishing. Need to come up with a new plan. 

[swt61]

Looks really good!

[VPI]

I changed the top piece now from thick cedar slab with walnut to a 14” 4/4 Purple Heart slab with walnut.  Going to tie it together with the entry cabinet which will have all walnut with a walnut slab split in half by a thin Purple Heart stick on top.

No idea when I will be able to actually apply some finish to the top as the warmest day for the foreseeable future is tomorrow at 54.

Ennui workshop
A black, jaunty beret cuts
in spite of the wood

[Voltron]

Ennui is three syllables?

The good news is that the beard was not lost in vain because the atmospheric river flowed right through the drains we cleaned without backup. 

 

[VPI]

Cutting it to the wire so for now this is going to be an ultra-cool open top dog crate. 
 

Frisco has had 3 seizures in the last 24 hours so it has been way too hard to get anything done these days.  I think I need to stick to much smaller projects as I just cannot find the room to work on these large ones.

Sorry about the seizure issues, Jeff, but the crate looks really nice.
