The Little Wood Shop 2019

Did a couple prototype feeders yesterday.




We're testing to see how the birds like them. I have a tiered feeder in mind next.

Fun stuff!

I can't see why the birds wouldn't like them.....   

[rgfixit]

Yeah, took them about an hour to start using them.

Well I sold the old girl today.




Ordered the replacement almost immediately.
A Delta 46-460.

Stay tuned

[rgfixit]

Well the rehab is complete.

I'll clean up in the morning.

Any magazine plans or plain drawn out plans?? For the lathe bench??  I could get pictures of our it's a heavy sob made of doubled mdf for legs and top.... then covered in temper board and edged with local hard woods...  I think we used 4 sheets of mdf building it two for the top two for legs  it holds twould lathes and can be filled with sand to steady it if need be.. we doubled the mdf by  contact cementing one side each board  then sticking those sides of the boards together ...them cut out the top and legs all bolts together for moving.. have not had a problem with vibration since we made it..

[rgfixit]

I have my own plan Boon. Pretty sure I can build it

Legs for the new lath stand.



Should be substantial enough.

Rg

[rgfixit]

It's getting there.






Picked up an oak stair tread for the top today. It's looking good to me. Weighs like a small piano

[fishnmachine]

Looks solid to me!   

[Raquettedacker]

What a beast.........
Don't hurt yourself setting it down....

[rgfixit]

My son will help me...thank heavens. Built to stand the test of time

Wait till I get the attaching hardware in place. I have some ideas. 

Lathe should be here in a week or so.
