Welcome Doug!

That is some high praise coming from Bass! He is legendary here.

Hey Warren,

Doug does work a lot like Leo. He mentions lurking because I think he has little patience for pissing matches with people when he has already forgotten more than they will ever know... you know that kind of thing.

I remember him calling me out for mis-labeling a window unit a Palladian window, when it was not really a Palladian (it was something sorta-similar and I did't really know what to call it--"Palladian-esque" maybe).

I learned my lesson though... just don't tell Doug--that's all we need!:whistling

He's my brother.

We just have different fathers. He used to be BassMaster, but disowned us and took hollys last name.

Everything he knows, he knows from me.

And I insincerely mean that!

Brian, I saw that at JLC, probably back when you did it, maybe, not real sure, time and my memory, well you know.
The backband that I'm doing is just the simple rabbited 1" X 1 1/4" with radiused corners.
I spent part of the weekend tearing out a lot of the trim in my house and it is a more complex backband trim but it does not fit in the 1850's Amana style (think Shaker) it was put in sometime in the 1930's.
Just completed two curved stairways over the last few months and that was all that was on my mind, needed to stay focused and now that they are done I'm glad to be doing something that I think is a bit simpler, but the irony of the backband and how it led here and to see an old friend - who'd a thunk it!
Hope everything is good with you and your family, Hope to see more of you and your work.
Doug, gotta go ride the bike, need some exercise!

Hey bass, glad to see you around. Using a modified version of your shutter jig to make some luverd doors this week.

"Palladian-esque" I'll give you that!
You young guys and your thin skin, never was meant as a diss just trying to educate, I just dont have your knack to articulate my thoughts on the net without comming across as a smart azz, well maybe thats my intent but never with malace.
I appreciate the kind words, I always say, I'm not any better a carp then a lot of the other people on here or the other sites, I've just been very fortunate to have been given the oportunity to do some pretty amazing things/projects. Back 8 or 9 years ago I landed in Texas without any conections and was working in 5-10-20 million dollar homes within a few weeks, very lucky, thats about all it was.

Hell all these other people on here that think they know you probably hav'nt met ya, worked with ya, shared some flood relief hash with ya, and BTW I'm still upset that we didnt save that biker dudes house!
I left BT cause I was getting burnt out, we had just built the most expensive kitchen that I'd ever been involved with, in excess of 150K and I didnt even care about the job. I had to get refocused. Andy C did it for me. He talked about cedar strip canoes and I was hooked. That was probably the best therapy for me. 3 canoes later and a forth in the works and now I find I have more passion for this work again. I think spending more time with my son and less time on the net arguing politics/religion/the price of rice in China helped a lot. Plus my son is young enough that he believes everything I say.

I do see from some of your pictures that you're getting that shop organized a bit, thats a good thing. I'm still working towards that goal, probably wont happen in this lifetime though.
I gotta get off this damn computer, got to get up early. Glad to see some of your work again, hope to run into you again sometime.

Doug
