Wader's Weekend Accomplishments....

[Dennis Peacock]

Well, another weekend has come and gone. I got a little shop time in the weekend working on a couple of benches for the kitchen table until I can figure out how to make the chairs that LOML wants me to make. A camp out with my 3 boys and needless to say, that was an experience...!!!

Best of Weeks......

Friday, I cut out all the components for the upper cabinets, masked off as appropriate and pre-finished the interiors prior to assembly on Sunday. They all went together without incident and I moved on to the face frames and doors Sunday and today. Saturday was a "day off" from the shop (other than a brief stop in the evening to spray another quick coat of clear) as I went to the 5-Barns Pic-a-nick up at the Grumbine's ranch. That was a great time and it was enjoyable meeting many SMC and WoodCentral participants and seeing some old friends. This week is my last vacation week for a bit, so I really have to get these cabinets done and ready to install! (And the 'rents are coming to visit sometime on Saturday...)

Didn't get a single thing done. Had to work at the track (Brickyard 400) both days this weekend.

Drove to Flower Mound TX on Satuday to pick up a 54" blade for my John Deere. After dropping it off at the new house Sunday morn I discovered that the storms that blew thru Tulsa on Friday night downed a few limbs, so after unloading the blade and making sure it worked (it did) it was time to fire up the ole chain saw and make some dust. Got about a rick of wood out of it. I guess you could say I did some woodworking this weekend.

Have a safe week

No WW'ing. :( Slept out with the boys Fri. & Sat nights. They had their first encounter sleeping in a thunderstorm! Now THAT was an experience!!:D Had a yard sale Sat. NEVER again. Cannot believe how rude some people can be! Next accumulation of stuff goes to Goodwill or will be given to someone who could use it. Gonna take some stuffed animals to the Police station. I guess they use them to help calm the children they come into contact with while working. Looked at a couple of trailers. MAN I miss my pickup! :( Hopefully will be picking one up this week. In a couple of weeks there's a Sawmill giving tours and 15%off of their hardwood. Need about 100bf. of QSRO for my kitchen cabinets still.

Just spent my time chipping away at my current, main project. I mean that quite literally, too. Finally bit the big one and bought a small 5hp chipper/shredder and was busy clearing brush AND putting the chips to use for landscaping. Kind of a double project, I guess. I did take my Festool 125 ROS for a test drive. Again I say, "Wow! What a nice piece of equipment!" Have a great week everyone! :cool:

Well, my wishes for rain came true. Rained just enough Saturday and Sunday mornings to keep me away from yard work, though I did have to run an emergency service call Saturday morning due to the storms. Spent most of the weekend milling and glueing lumber for the bookcase I am building for my youngest daughter. Also, got to spend some time with my grandson on Saturday.

I must say I envy those of you that made it to Grumbine's, but glad you all had a great time.

I had my 20 high school reunion. Started with a round of golf and beers, lots of beers; moved onto an informal get together with lots of more beers; to a classmate's bar after that, and more beers; ended the evening (morning) going to a classmate's house for you guess it ... more beers. Finally, decided it was time to go to the hotel about 4AM.

Saturday, visited the new Nebraska Furniture Mart, reminds me why I build furniture. But a very neat store.

Saturday Night we had a formal gathering and yes, more beers; again visiting the classmate's bar..... boy a few more beers.

Sunday.... time to dry out. Took my son to " A Day out with Thomas the Choo Choo Train". Took a 20 minute train ride, had some food and enjoyed the day.

Abosolutely no wood working, though I got to talk about it some.
