Expected some snark.

Moi?

 

[Leo G]

Yes, Moi.

Figured you were going to blame my tough time on the install because I made the crown incorrectly or something like that.

 

[Robie]

I've never given you or anyone else anything but praise on their work......mister.

When you need a rear hub seal driver but all you have are blocks of wood, glue clamps and a lathe...

First time I had to wear rubber gloves to install a lights. Real brass. Too nice for my damn dirty hands.

 

[Leo G]

If it's still shiny then it's probably coated. But why take the chance.

I think I’ve brasso’d a hundred miles of brass handrail. Every morning at 4:00am before chow, whether needed or not (it wasn’t). Best job in the barracks. That **** was bright.

Each fixture came with a warning label that the brass is not finished. Installers need to keep their grub paws covered.

Lovely. Hope they have a maid that's willing to get up there once a week to polish it.

I'm starting to make this. Quartersawn Red Oak for the door and plain slice for the frame and windows. They want it stained a honey oak or similar. I've made samples but it doesn't do the quartersawn justice. Needs to be darker and it'll stick out nice.

Got most of the door stiles/rails made. Just have to deal with the curve on the top rail now.
Top of the door radius is 54 13/32". That way after the 3/32" gap on top everything else above it will be an even number radius.

Got the curve drawn out. Now I have to make the template out of particleboard to make the curve on the shaper. Big cut so I'll likely do it in 3 passes.

The current thing is to let it age.

That looks nice to if the house decorations can support it. Great look in an 18 century home that's for sure.

Where the heck you been?!

 

[Leo G]

Made the jig to hold the top rail that has the curved pattern on it. Removed the fence on the shaper and installed the rub bearing. I did it with a top pattern so I didn't need to adjust the height of the cutter, so that cuts down on some setup time.

And then it looks like this.

Work on the panels raised tomorrow.

Finally going on a job I kinda like. Vertical steel on a big ol' ICF box.

Didn’t get pics from this job although it’d a tough one.

Working what else would I be doing? 😇
Ctalk can wear on me and it did. Its like everything online now. Starts out cool, then the "experts" take over drumming the same spiel over and over again. engineering engineering, Safety Safety Safety, Contract Contract Contract. Think you know the drill. The good discussions seemed to wane or become the same ones over and over again. Not much room for constructive discussion, without the constant one-upmanship of superior perceived knowledge.
Stop by occasionally. My notifications are to an older email account that I don't check everyday. But today I realized i've been a member on this forum for close to if not 20 years. Lost an email account and that resulted in not being able to sign in under my original screen name from 2002 I think.
On another note, I'm friends with Jaws on Facebook, does that count for anything?
