Nice little boat jbergen, I not only recognized her but recognized the Sucia Island rendezvous photos. I was looking for my boat but you missed me by a few yards or maybe a few hours. Don't feel too bad about that I have about twenty shots from my anchorage in the bay and only one with your lovely yawl in it. It's too distant in the photo to even recognize. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/attachm ... 1322876893
I met you briefly but you may remember me or my boat.

OMG, Hello Paul! I didn't realize you hung out here on the Shopsmith forum. I didn't make the connection. I certainly remember your beautiful boat "Friendship" and I wish we had spent more time talking. Hopefully we'll be able to next year at Sucia. Did you use your Shopsmith to build her? Turns out I did capture a photo of her at Sucia. Gorgeous!shipwright wrote:Nice little boat jbergen, I not only recognized her but recognized the Sucia Island rendezvous photos.

I built her in Canada where I have all my dedicated tools about a year before I started getting into SS. My main SS stuff is done at my Az winter place where my shop space is much smaller and my budget much lower. I do now have a 10ER in Cowichan bay and do use it on almost every project for one thing or another.
See you at Sucia next year. You could even come to Montague Harbour in May.

Almost immediately I was making far more precise cuts than I could ever have hoped to cut with my DeWalt scroll saw. It's a copy of a machine introduced in Paris about 200 years ago that at the time revolutionized the art of marquetry. Mine is self designed after looking at photos on the web. It's not far off the original except for the fact that I have access to better bushings. She's a joy to operate.

Almost all operations were done on my 510 here in Green Valley. It took about 40 hours and cost me under $100. Thanks to Gene Howe for the Bois d'Arc used in the saw frame and the mesquite in the knob and rocker rack. The rest of the wood was salvaged from an old beam I had to replace because one foot of it was rotten.

This is the mesquite knob. You don't actually hold it by this strangely. It's use is in springing the blade.
[ATTACH]12108[/ATTACH]
This is the operator's position. very relaxed and comfortable. You could do it for hours.

This is a little marquetry border I chose to try her out. The white bits are pattern paper stuck to some of the dark green veneers. It will come off after final glue-up.

I just picked up a British "Furniture and Cabinetmaking" magazine from the bookstore; it is featuring a "Marquetry Donkey." It looks like Paul's superb Chevalet project. A great posting worth reviewing here!

Re: Gallery of completed woodworking projects
Thanks for remembering this Chris. That started a whole new part of my life. I now have six chevalets, five of which I use in my new marquetry school at home in Canada. This is my latest piece of work, a Louis XIV inspired jewellery box. Some of the work was done with my Shopsmith as well.

Totally inadequate words to describe that.
And I thought that little bird in your icon was 'excellent'.
