Those logs are firewood. There were some huge old cherry trees that had been brought down and stacked when we bought our land. Unfortunately they had been on the ground for over a year and had all sorts of cracks in them making them not good for furniture.

Comment on My First Woodworking Project: Home Theater Speakers by Gordon

I am inspired to rebuild my speaker cabinets. I wish you had some clearer shots of the finished details. I like your contrast of the darker sides and the lighter front.

And great choice of Firefly for the TV image.

Mr. Brown is OUT of town! ~Dr. Suess reference.

I realize this is a pretty old post but I wanted to extend my sympathy to you. I can’t imagine being FORCED to work in such a place. ONLY 40′ x 25′ x 12′. Hope your picking up my sarcasm. Good for you man! I hope the new shop is working out for you.

Looks like you’ve got yourself a nice little tractor there. And some descent lumber. Are those locally harvested logs? Do you mill them yourself? Or do you pull a Follansbee and whack the (–bleep–) out of them?

Thanks for all the great WIA 2011 pics!

@Mike Siemsen
Yea we all had a great time!!! The crowd of hecklers that gathers whenever one of the bloggers was competing was impressive!

It was much more fun to bitch about the eastern vs western than than it actually mattered to any of us. at the end of the day I think Wibur made a 1-2 card dovetail and I put in pretty respectable times on the push saws. (although I did have body lean problem on the rip).

But I would love to see someone step up and offer some Japanese tools for people to try, just to expose them to another way and give them a chance to play with them.

Nik,
I was glad all of you bloggers stepped up(took the bait) at the HTO. With all of the grousing about Japanese versus western tools I foresee a possible east/west game on the horizon. Same events, different tools. I will bring the western tools, set ups and provide booth space and workers, who will bring the Eastern? We could either run head to heads or just compare end of the day scores. Maybe I could just get my friend Mark Harrell to make me a saw with a handle on each end?
great photos!
Mike
