Hello All!
I had a busy Christmas building my first non-plan table - a sofa table based off a picture from FWW gallery. Theirs was cherry, this was walnut - my first work with walnut. I have to say cutting walnut sure smells good! I finished all the work by New Years but couldn't get the figure-8 clips to put the top on until yesterday. It's finished with Watco & wax.
Today a coworker came over to help me assemble my Rikon 14" Delux Bandsaw. That was a heavy sucker. The instructions seemed to be a bit sparse in places but we figured it out anyway. I cut some test pieces (without doing any setup yet) and I was surprised at how easily it cut oak and pine 2x4s. I'm itching to give some resawing a try but I want to tune it up first.

The lighting is not the best - it's been cloudy for days - not typical Texas weather...
