Tried one a friend owned. The strips were so thin (I had cut extras) that occasionally the power would shred the strips, so I could only proceed so far with that machine. An in-line (not random orbit) small power sander helped up to a point, but then it was hand sanding. Thanks for mentioning it.

Really nice.

Step 1: Capture.
Step 2: Set up video camera in the house.
Step 3: Release in house during a Party.

Well,..... Maybe not. But wouldn't it be fun??? LOL

I can hear the soothing silence of this beautiful area from your pictures. Thanks.

Those are fun pictures. I first started going to Ren Fests (as we call them) in my area 45 years ago. They are fun!

Reminiscing - I played golf with a couple here in Florida who had just returned from California where they traveled "just to see" the sandhill cranes. As we went around the trees on a dogleg right, walking on the green were several families of sandhill cranes with little ones. The couple was amazed.

You have some real nice shots here.

YOU DONE GOOD !!!!!
(Poor English for emphasis)

Great Bee shots, too!

I love the composition ! ! !

Very nice selection !

Now T H A T is cute ! Great pic.

Thanks to all for your wonderful comments. There are many very nice people in UHH.

My wife would have hit me over my head with one of my tools had I suggested selling it. (Hint: my head is still whole.) LOL !

Just curious. Are any of you going to purchase the new iPhone 11, 11 Plus, or 11 Plus Max ? ?

If you are, is the new camera system any influence in your coming purchase?

I know many prefer other brands and their cameras, but this question is just about the Apple products.

(sorry for typo - Buying an iPhone ? ?)

Another example of why I call myself Woodworkerman.

I made this clothes hamper from Black Walnut and Maple. It is 21” wide (plus handles), 16” deep, and 27” tall. I entered it in the Florida State Fair Woodworking Competition and won a 1st Place Ribbon for the hamper.

There are 20 vertical slats 5/32” by 1 1/4” that alternate between Walnut and Maple.

There are 32 horizontal slats (again Walnut and Maple), some of which are 3/64” by 1” by 5 1/2 feet long., some of which are 3/64” by 3/8” by 5/12 feet long.

There is then an outside banding strip around the top and bottom that hides the unions of the woven horizontals and verticals. Those two strips are Maple and are 3/32” by 1 “ by 5’ 3” and are attached with "peened" brass brads. (You can see them around the top.)

The top is Black Walnut that is 1/2” thick. The bottom (inside and unseen) is 3/4” plywood for strength.

All of the slats were cut from solid wood and sanded to final thicknesses. Each slat had to be individually sanded, and the whole cutting and sanding process took several hundred hours.

The horizontal slats were sufficiently thin that no steam bending was necessary in the weaving process.

The hamper was sprayed with a sealer, sanded, spray varnished, sanded, and spray varnished again. And, this had to be done inside and out. The top was also waxed after these processes. When you notice how many slats there are, you might understand how long the finishing process took.

I put about 300 hours work in this project.

Hope you Enjoy.
