A thread storage case
#231
I just hope the spousal unit doesn't see this thread. I'm already on the hook for a cabinet for the new Juki (my fault really - I opened my mouth) and having her planning on this as well wouldn't be nice.
So, traditional tools or electron munchers?

Rough prep of rough sawn lumber: Power saw and thickness planer.
Assembly: Hand saws, Chisels, Scrapers, ect.
Finish: Varnish, brushes, Wax rubout.
Traditional joinery methods only. Dovetails, Mortise and tenon, tongue and groove, moldings, ect. All done with hand tools.
I love working wood with hand tools. You might find it hard to make a living with it these days, especially in this market, but it is possible in one of the upscale areas of the country. At least it was until the crash.

BTW, do you ride fixed gear or did you take your handle from somewhere else?

I have a whole basement full of them. Some remakes of old geared bikes, and one custom frame made for me by a local frame builder here in Ohio. That one is all Campy Track equipt.
The others are Phil Wood and other American components. I love the fun of popping your eyeballs out on long uphill climbs. It is the masochist, in me.
