[TENDERFOOT91]

Just checking
I'm about cought up then I can do some of the other stuff.
Thank you for being patient with me . I'm trying out the jigs and it will help some, it just almost takes longer to make them the first time but will save overall.
Take Care,
TF

Hi everyone,
I see all the prettys

Don, your prices are toooooooo good, I am sure they were talking about the cheap plastic one.
Oops, I see they already agreed.

I have a little project that I would love for you to do, but I will wait until you get all caught up.
Isn't it nice to be so wanted and cared about

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

It won't be long till I'm cought up. I had another tool go down well almost thier.
So I get to go buy another drill press tomorrow . The one I had worked great for get 1 1/2 years it was a Home Depot brand. The cheapest one they had. I can't complain at all, I'm actually impressed with it for what I put it through lasting this long. For the average home owner it will do all you ever need it too. So I'm not speaking bad of it at all. I just wish I would have spent the $400 a year and 1/2 ago then I wouldn't have to do it now.
TF

hey don, sorry about your tools i love the new stands though.

idaho, hope your provari got figured out, I forgot to mention that the reason I had asked you about it is cuz my bf fixes stuff like that, he fixed our freinds cobalt this weekend and specifically my pink provari that i dropped and chipped the ceramics once he takes the paint off he can do either matte or shiny finish, I opted for shiny and he did his matte after that. the problem is i cant find pics of the one that I'm looking for cuz I traded them to my freind for a new painted black and a pink one after she kept bugging me about it , I found this pic here of a polished provari mini, mine looked basically like that, except i had him leave the tears drops pink on mine, here it is i hope it shows up LOL

 

[kilala]

yay! it worked! here is my freind tylerises blue cobalt, she bought it from a dude that put easy-off oven cleaner on it and ruined the paint and made it all splotchy, so my bf stripped it down to the metal for her and gave it a matte finish, i did the polishing on the inside of the top cap and the button on this one , here is hopefully a pic of it, in a beautious tf stand! (thank you tf, also, this ones my fave, i wont let him wax or stain this one cuz im afraid the pretty stripes will go away )

i think i got this picture thing all figured out idaho let him know if you want him to fix the provari fot you, he doesnt have the ability to repaint it but he can give it a nice shiny or matte finish, his name is kiba on here.

Looks great you two did a great job.
The wax should be fine now the stain should be light if you do it. These are sealed with past wax. Except for dolphins I did it after this pic. It actually makes the oak stand out more I think.

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Well I'm off to try and sleep.
Got a early day shopping for drill press tomorrow LOL
Murphy's Law loves me
Take Care everyone,
TF

Hi MissEmma,
You have one waiting to be done, my last LS base is yours my others haven't arrived at store yet.
This saw put me behind .
I'm trying to keep these prices down guys. If you think I'm out of line what would be your suggestion?
I can't realy do that one any less, it takes time to laminate the wood ,guess I don't have to have the oak in thier and just use pine for all it to get cost and time down. Then I don't know what the buyer might want? So I don't know how long it will take to do it. I could just do it my way. I don't know if you were talking about the other one being pricy or mine? I realy try , I'm makeing a bunch of jigs today to save some time, that will help I hope .
Take care,
TF

Oh no!! Not yours! Yours are very reasonably priced...maybe a little low, considering what we're getting; a custom mod holder which is wonderfully crafted.
No, I thought that acrylic one was much too expensive....it's a couple pieces of plastic!!!
Don't you dare worry about the time it takes to do the job you do.
I was just joking with you....don't take everything so personally, Don. Sometimes we're just kidding around.

If we wanted boring, cheaply made, plastic holders...we wouldn't be here

I have never tried to rush you and I'm sorry if my comment made you feel that way. I'll be more careful with my words

Hello TF, Ladies, Guys and the rest of the best thread on ECF! I surley hope all of you are finding the day is treating you AWESOME.
Not much to report from the Sawtooths of Idaho, expecting 1-2 ft of more snow outside today. The elk are heading farther down due to the cold weather and wind pushing them.
TF, looks like I'll be around a bit today as I think I mentioned I wouldnt.

Kilala! Thanks for the info. Well small world, your awesome bf and I swapped a couple pm's on some other stuffs yesterday. He was mucho help. Punch him in the arm and tell him thank you again for me. As far as the finish...I am not going to sell it after some thought as it is just a travel and carry around the house or shop. I am just fairly...ok mucho OCD about my personal crap but am over it. I am fairly handy(at least before the incident that left me in rehab for over a year now), have quite a few tools and am thinking of tackling it myself...and even may rubberize/paint it. My roadblock will be removing the chip inside...hmmmm.
Anyway thank you for the pics and the information, I will keep him in mind on this and who knows.

Heads and chins up today.

My bad MissEmma,
I figured you were, one of those days yesterday. I'm going to add a small drawer to it I think and see if that helps it sell.
You stay there way you are, you're perfect. And I don't feel rushed at all by you. You have always been so helpful and supportive, I appreciate everything.
I'll post pictures later.

I see the cold did not stop you from making your craft.
Hope all is well brother

Hello Don and Gang hope everyone is well and safe.
So Don, did you purchase a new drill press? Hope it's treating you well.
Thinking of a question for a few days...Can you apply paste wax to an oil finish on wood?

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

F/S $50 plus shipping
Its all maple except for the bottom of drawer and dowel pins, o-yea and the oak stripe ill add juice holes, drip tip holes or tank holes. That's why its left open in front of removable block.

PM any interest.
Take Care,
TF

 

[Idaholandho]

Wow, that's really really nice Don.

 

[KrasH]

I really like that one, may have to sell one to get it.

 

[TENDERFOOT91]
