Wow! Those came out great!

I wish you'd move down this way, close to me.  I'd keep you busy with woodworking projects.  :-D

I'm just getting caught up on this thread and wow!!

I would love to spend some time with you just learning a saw-dusts worth of woodworking education to aid in all my projects!!

I am doing a good job making plenty of mistakes and plenty of saw dust!!

Currently trying to finish the kitchen cupboards but that has been put on hold since I threw my back out Wednesday morning!!

Thanks Charlie, you are welcome anytime I could always use the help :grin:

Another little project in the shop yesterday. Nice little relaxing job for a Friday considering it was rainy and miserable out. Had a railing to make for a long standing customer. House was built in the late 1700's so everything goes back as close to original or at least what is currently in place. No plastic allowed :shock:

Original rail. It had rotted at both ends and came loose. Some of the pickets are rotted as well.

Start with glue up and shaping the top rail.

While I like using hand tools, I am not one of those 'modern woodworkers' that puts down machinery. I will use power when its the best and most efficient tool on hand. I have a few routers to choose from when need be!
