As Promised ... Finished Small Ring Box

Well I started with 80 of these little guys, but the handwriting

was on the wall. If I was to try and finish them all they wouldn't

be done by the first show which was last weekend. A few days

before crunch time, I was able finish 20 of the 80, and to the

first show in Kings Beach they went.

 Here's the 60 that weren't finished

 Here are the 20 that were finished

Here's a close-up of the finished Small Ring Box

Zebra Wood in the middle and Purple Heart on the sides.

New Band Saw Update . . . .

Well we left off with me explaining how after all

of the fan fare I realized there were two sizes for

this saw. The saw in the previous post had a

cutting capacity of only 3 5/8" (from the table to

the guides above). It seems I was looking at one

and the store owner and I were ordering the other.

The one I wanted had a 4 5/8" cutting capacity.

After reordering the right size and installing the

table (yes Christopher) on the new one, it's time

to go to work. Pictured below is the saw. Also

below is a teeny, tiny box I make. This is what

I had in mind when I bought the saw.

The new band saw above, and below

the smallest box I make . . . "The Small Ring Box."

This has been rough sanded. Next is to final sand to 400 grit

and apply the Tung Oil finish. Then it will be waxed 

to a mirror finish. We'll have to show that the next time around.
