Got a wild idea too

[Larry Gelder]

If there's sufficient interest, any chance that the seasoned neanderpeoples, like Harry e.t al., would like to lead a SMC-NH online neader project/class for us newbies?

[Brian Kent]

There is sufficient interest by this galoot-in-training.

[harry strasil]

Now that is an interesting idea, as long as it was simple to keep it within my skill level.

[Larry Gelder]

Thanks Harry. Although 144 folks viewed the post, looks like Brian Kent & I are your first two galoots-in-training.

How would you like to proceed?

[Mark Rios]

SIGN ME UP!!!!


Yes, yes, yes.

[harry strasil]

Galoots in training, that's a good one.

How about starting out with a saw table, (old time sawhorse). Simple to make, just marking, sawing and dovetailing and some drilling and using a hand router.

would end up with something you can use.

A sawhorse sounds like a fine idea. I like the idea of a group project.

Of course, my saw horse may have to wait for my shaving horse to finish....

Okay, maybe I'll learn this neander term in the first class but, why do you shave a horse?

[Deirdre Saoirse Moen]

Ha, well, you don't. It's a little horsie for you to sit on while you're using a spokeshave.

Like so:

Useful for curved work or irregularly-shaped pieces. Used pretty much instead of a workbench for most chairmaking.

[George Sanders]

That is really nice and I would love to build it. I have to finish building my tool cabinet and resolve my workbench problem which is not having a workbench.

[Larry Gelder]

Harry - Sawtable sounds like a great project. I need one.

[Dan Forman]

Count me in!

I'm sorry Deidre, I actually DO know what it is. I was just making another feeble attempt at the only thing I'm semi-good at.....4th grade humor.......:D

But you are very kind to indulge me, thank you. ;)

you wouldn't have to ask me twice, although I admit I am a very visual learner and text doesn't sink too deep in my thick skull.

I've been thinking of tackling the "Arts and Mysteries" saw horses; this wold get me going.

I was thinking the same thing Chuck I have a hunk of old wany edge white ash that would be perfect for it.

I liked the bit in the article when he said you need to go back to the shop and get your 18 inch Starret ruler, or use a walnut stick. I believe he was talking about the height of the saw horse I just forget rightr now. Anyway it made me laugh when I read it and I still smile when I think of it.
