I did a white oak counter top and it came out very nicely. By the time I took pictures she had it all loaded up with her junk and it's been that way ever since. She even had a granite cutting board cut that covers one whole top. Granite is overrated. It'll dull a knife quicker than snot Quote:

I made a real nice two inch thick black walnut cutting board a few years ago . Watched the misses take out the old cutting board and put it on the new one when she’s cutting up veggies .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Even though the wood had dried for three years it developed a stress crack . So I had to cut it and add a piece of maple . I also finished the backsplash .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I finally found some pictures of the counter top I made. This is in our old house in CA. I miss that house . We put a lot of money and time into it. Anyway, end grain walnut butcherblock.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That’s a lot of work . I would have taken it with me and use it for something at the new house . Formica is good enough for the new owner

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You guys do nice work! Here's a maple end grain cutting board I made. That maple is hard! I bought about 40 stair balusters that had yet to be turned. Habitat ReStore sold them to me for $80 +tax. They were 1-3/4 X 1-3/4 X 40 inches. What a steal!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That counter is really nice! Wife wants a new counter and sink. I know a reliable contractor who is going to do that and install all new kitchen cabinets. I have more money than energy, these days...meaning not much energy. It'd take me months to do the cabinets.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The counter top came out beautiful . I have white oak 5/4 boards that are as old as the barn . They were cribs and all the boards for the horse stalls used one to make the bathroom vanity I didn’t plane them since I wanted the saw marks but where I cut it was the same color as the countertop you built

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I love the rustic look. That counter was semi-rustic I guess. I saved every scrap of that old oak. It came from a 250 year old building and the tree we figured was about 250 years old when cut. That tree started growing 500 years ago!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Since we did Christmas yesterday with my family and tomorrow we go to the misses family decided it was as good a time as any to make some more cutting boards . These are Ash that was dying from the Emerald ash borer . I kept the live edge as the it looked interesting the way the borer made its tunnels

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
well i've been working on this for more than today,but today i'm finished and will move onto something else.i bought a sheet metal brake from Princess Auto here(like Harbor Freight in the States)brought it home and never opened it cause i KNEW it was going to be cheap China junk so back it went,i thought i can build something better,so here it is,a 48 inch metal brake,a place off the side to mount my shear,a old antique Record swivel vise my Father-in-law gave me.i took it all apart,cleaned,greased,painted it and put it back together and that gives me a place to mount my bead roller off the other side of the table or whatever else i need a vice for,then across the back,what i call a pipe vise but i'm sure that's not the proper name.2 different sized pipes that let me roll metal over a pipe for a driveshaft tunnel,a transmission tunnel or whatever?i played with some scrap material and i think this is going to work just fine.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That is a slick metal working station. You should build and sell those. I'll put my order in now

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I am a Huge HF fan.
I know what to buy and avoid. You have the Perfect Work Bench. Do you have a Beverly Shear hiding there somewhere? Great Job on the Bench.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
thanks.i think it turned out well.i shop at Princess Auto here and Harbor Freight when i'm in the States,but as you say,there are things you can buy,things you can't.i don't have a Beverly shear,just a hand power shear that does a good job,surprisingly and the one on the side of my table that i bought at Eastwood in Pottstown,Pa when my buddy and i were there to go to Williamsgrove Speedway to watch the World of Outlaw cars a couple of trips ago.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I was going to say the same thing. I would say the shipping would be around $1,000 for that to the central states. Maybe a little less along the East coast, but shipping is NUTS !!
