Popular Post GrampaJim Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I am always looking for Intarsia wood - interesting color and grain patterns. Found some plan Hickory I thought would work. Cuts OK, sanding and shaping is a real pain. This week, I felt lazing and just wanted to sit at the saw and cut something. Turns out I LIKE Hickory for shelf sitters, more so than my usual Red Oak. Dave Monk, frankorona, JimErn and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrampaJim Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 What I was trying to say was that it was a mistake to try Hickory for Intarsia due to the sanding. Fixed it by using it for fretwork. Just goes to prove what the wife says: you don't communicate. LOL amazingkevin and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I absolutely love making mistakes... sounds weird don't it.. but in reality that's how I learn the best.. without mistakes a rock would be smarter than me.. Some probably would say that a rock is smarter than me.. Maybe that's why my wife has a pet rock that she has kept for many years.. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLarry Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I never make mistakes when scrolling. I do make unplanned modifications to the pattern. Some of those unplanned modifications also make designer firewood. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Wittich Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I don't make mistakes, my wife makes mistakes. Of course, she's going to argue that first statement. See? Another mistake. (OMG, I hope all y'all don't get the wrong idea and think I'm something special or something) Another mistake she makes is that she thinks I don't have a sense of humor. I have a GREAT sense of humor. Just ask me, I'll tell ya. BTW, in fairness and full disclosure - my best, latest mistake can be plainly seen on my project page. It's a dewsy (sp)!!!!!!!
