ROBINS EGG BLUE vintage side table

I spent a nice quite afternoon on my deck
tinkering away at this little table.


The top was loose and had to be glued and nailed back in place.


Then stripped, sanded, and primed in white.
I did not remove all the original paint, I wanted high and low spots
to play with the distressing process.



The color I used was Robins Egg Blue, just a small tube of craft paint.
The inside of the drawer was primed then painted in a darker turquoise.



Then I had fun sanding all the imperfections, to make them perfect!
I really do like distressing paint. I choose to hand sand
rather then use an electric sanded. It offers more control.


Finally finished it off with a single bright white flower knob.



This side table is listed on the AVAILABLE page.

The Blue House Bow more work

Hi Everyone,
Picking up were we left off yesterday...

Here is the underside of the bowl, cut, sanded and polished:


You can see the foot, the tenon, and the heat and sap wood areas of the blank.

Heres a slightly different shot:

At this point the bowl is ready to flip over and hollow out. Moment of truth-once the bowl is flipped over and I begin hollowing it out, the bowl cant be flipped back if there is a problem. Here we go...


In the above photo, Ive flipped it over and placed it between centers again. Until the bowl is substantially hollowed out, Ill turn it between centers. When its been hollowed, and its lighter in weight, Ill remove the dead center and the center post in the bowl.


Above is the bowl after about an hours worth of turning. The sides are about 1 inch thick and Ive left the center post in the bowl. This will help keep the bowl in its round shape and keep it from cracking. Now Im going to cover it in paste wax and place it in a large box of wood shavings and let it dry for several weeks. In about three weeks time, Ill take it out and see hows its going so keep you fingers crossed that the bowl is ok and it dries well.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Sight-the Lady and the Unicorn Medieval Jacquard Woven 47"w X 34"l Wall Hanging Tapestry with Tassels


In this classic tapestry, the lady is portrayed as holding a mirror, or looking-glass with the reflection of the unicorn, while the lion sits holding a pennant, thus showing sight. Jacquard woven and fully lined with a pocket for hanging and weighted at the bottom to hang flat.





Carved Unicorn Drop-Front Writing Desk at design toscano

It’s almost a shame to ever lower the intricate mahogany front panel (which takes over a week to carve), of this mid-19th century antique replica--except that its leather embossed writing desk with pigeonholes and drawers is so useful! Four exterior locking drawers add to the functionality of this heirloom piece carved with stylized unicorns distressed just enough to replicate an antique.

The Amish Wal Mart

Laugh if you want, but there is a place here in rural southwest Wisconsin that goes by this name. After youve lived here for over a decade or so you hear about it, but only like its a rumor, dust in the wind. A friend of mine who has lived down in LaFarge WI for the past 12 years has recently located it and he told me "You gotta see this place"

So this past weekend we made some plans and drove down to his house to spend the day and visit "The Amish Wal-Mart." Now I think I should explain that this is not the official name of the store, infact I dont think there is an official name, I believe it gathers the name from the recycled Wal-Mart product shelving they use inside the pole barn. Where gathered inside there is a odd collection of things, One part antique store, one part salvation army, one part overstock store. A lot of tools, farming supplies, kitchen wares, just imagine if a gigantic corporate conglomerate chose to build a store that would be direct market for the Amish niche.This would be it, like a perpetual Amish rummage sale, and it is awesome!

Its kind of mysterious, theres no electricity, so no light other than whats coming in several windows, but that still bathes the dozens of isles of odds and ends in a dim, darkness. Things are gathered into rough groups, but its kind of a "dig through the piles and find whatever you think is cool" kind of place. If you go looking for something specific and ask for it, if its there they can help find it. but if you just go to browse, expect to search. And I love to search. Prices are much more reasonable than your typical antique store fare as well.

I was drawn to the place because my friend told me there was "a lot of planes" there, and I have been kind of hoping to find a decent plow plane for a while. What was there didnt impress me, a couple of halfway useable wood planes with W. Butcher irons in them sparked me for a minute until further inspection showed the blades were sharpened to within a  quarter inch of their lives. I did find several nice Disston saws that I decided to turn down and some very cool hammers that were tempting. Decisions are difficult but I did eventually find a few little pieces that followed me home.

I did need a different brace, of the two I have one is painted and sports a "Craftsman" emblem on the handle, OK but not great for any type of reencactment woodworking, and my other the handle on the swing slides around when pressure is applied. After picking through the 2 dozen braces they had on the shelf, this is the one I chose. I also picked up this odd little pick axe / adze tool, both ends have been sharpened with a bevel and it intrigued me. I have wanted a bowl or coopers adze for a while, but I always seem to lose the bids on eBay when the chance comes up (not that Im trying that hard). After getting it home I took a few swings on some scrap pine without touching up the sharpness on the blades at all and it worked very much like an adze, hollowing out a space.

I did also find a kind of cool turning tool, home shaped from an old nicholson file. Shaped to cut beads. I couldnt leaving him sitting there either, so he followed me home too.

The Amish Wal-Mart, not something I need to go check out monthly, but maybe bi-yearly would be pretty cool, well see what follows me home next time.

1500 Baby!!

February 20th I placed a post called batting 1000 that alluded to this blog reaching what I thought of as a milestone of 1000 hits. Now we have passed 1500 in around about 1 months worth of time. Thats just incredibly amazing and humbling to me. I want to thank all who take the time to read what I have to say. 1500 hits may be a drop in the bucket for some bloggers in the woodworking community, but to me this is a big deal, Again THANK YOU!

Cheers
