experiments in staining
I love my saw

whoo hoo!

Hello Keli,
 

A note to let you know your Table Saw order is on its way.  Jim shipped UPS Ground Tuesday, 17 August.  I checked the UPS website and your package is scheduled for delivery on Friday, 20 August.

Thank you for your order Keli and please let us know if you have any questions or problems.  Jim and I are heading to Annapolis this weekend for the 2010 Nautical Research Guild Conference and will not be back in the shop till Tuesday 31 August, but we will be checking our e-mails remotely.  Any questions, please e-mail.
 
Regards,

I did some more staining experimentation. Proper one to one dilution of Testors with turpentine makes a great stain. I stained the oak that will be part of the final build a gorgeous shade of blue...I'd post a picture, but I don't trust Susan not to peek.

The finish is deeper and richer looking than just painting it blue would have been, and blue stain is much more vibrant than a stained wood tone would have been. I'm loving this new technique...and since Testors comes in hundreds of colors the possibilities are endless.

Wow! That's very nice communication - you don't get that much, nowadays!

And I am sooo hurt that you think I would peek ( because it means there's no chance I'm going to get to ).
You could just post it at a certain time of day and then take it down after - let us all know the time, and I'll go get ice cream or something, instead...
hmm de hum de hmmmm

Anna

Uh huh, sure you would. I'm not buying it.

I don't suppose I can fake sick to go home early to play?
