Nothing like the first day of "Spring" when we get back to an open air shop. Things are turning up.

I don't personally post ever but there are a lot of interesting things going on here these days. A dragon, singer sewing machine, painting, doll house, santa etc. Every day is different. I love it.

I never intended to just work on furniture. I never dreamed I'd work on a tin soldier!

Just sprayed a frame and piano top. Because I manipulated the flattening agents in the lacquer one will be glossy and one will be a flat sheen. Important to know your materials.

Some mornings are more interesting then others. Like discovering if yesterday's repairs worked. Fingers crossed!

I love the variety of #familyheirlooms I work on every day. But sometimes I wonder what I've gotten myself into. That said, I love the challenge.

This door will be refinished and look great. But this door knocker is amazing!

Always cool watching stripper work. Look closely and you can see it happening.

I love that every day I walk into the shop it's unique. I'm looking forward to working on this sculpture. She gave me a warm welcome this morning.

The week is a over. #elvispresley tables are progressing nicely. Added stain and shellac today. Fascinating project!

1st #diablo belt died in 8 minutes. Unimpressive. We'll see if the new #ryobipowertools sander makes it through the day. I've killed many new tools before.

have 3 of these to refinish. The story is that the tree was cut down to build furniture for #elvispresley and was on the Graceland property. Elvis let the furniture maker use what was left for these supposedly. All I know is this epoxy coating can only be removed with 36 grit!

Mounted the dowels with #GFlexEpoxy on the #PaulMcCobb table legs. Next we'll reattach to the base.
