When protecting your cast-iron tabletop from rust, apply several coats of paste wax and vigorously buff out with a paper towel or a large cat.
Here's where I screwed up. In cutting my staves, I needed an angle of 11.25° on each edge. What's 90 minus 11.25? The answer is 78.75, not 79.75 which is what I set the saw to. This is what happens when you try to do precision work while also worrying about filming the entire process. I was one whole degree off on each edge. With two edges and sixteen staves, this amounts to a 32° gap total. Other than the pieces not glueing up very easily, I didn't realize there was a problem until I noticed the digital readout while I was editing the video as the glue was drying. Time to start over.
This is my latest snare drum build. It's made from repurposed jatoba flooring. It's taking me a while because I'm filming the entire process. There should be a YouTube video within the next few weeks showing how I made this.
This is what happens when you decide to rearrange your shop while simultaneously getting rid of two rolling tool carts/workbenches. You end up with a messy shop with a bunch of stuff that no longer has a home. And to think, just this morning I could walk around my shop without any problems. My plan for the next few days is to come up with some good storage solutions and get rid of some tools that I no longer use.
I'm picking out the wood for my next project, which is going to be a stave snare drum made out of jatoba.
Making a mess with my router table.
I sanded up to 600 grit, wiped down with denatured alcohol, and applied two coats of sanding sealer to all 24 of the little Mysterious Cups of Mystery. Tomorrow I'll apply the finish.
I am really sore after turning what appears to be 24 egg holders in one afternoon. Of course, that's not even close to what they really are...
I've had a busy couple of days. I realized that I have way too many bowls at home so I'm taking some to put on my desk at work. The big one is from some free lumber I got a few weeks back. It's several big slabs of mahogany (I think) that have been glued together. Two of these have been burned on the outside. One is sycamore and the other (with the large grain) is ash.
