I can only dream about having cabinets of that level of craftsmanship, sturdiness and beauty. Well done!

seeing as how my blower for the furnace burned up and I'm being lazy about getting something to replace it with, I started back into playing with pocket watches again.
I won this 8 day clock off of evil bay a couple weeks ago, it was missing the back of the case and for all the web surfing that I've done I can't find another one that has a front like this one, but that wasn't the problem. I found a case but wasn't sure about if it was what this clock needed so I made one. It took couple try's to get the thread right, its a 2.562 X 0.75 TPI metric. once I cut the ring which is a little thick (plan on making one out of solid brass also) I hit on the idea of why not put in a picture window I had some 3/32 thich lexan. it took a few trys but I finally got one that was just big enough to put in the press and bow it so it would snap in hopefully stay there,

Having no stock to start the remake of Darren's part, I cleaned out the chip pan on my lathe.
It's harder to do than you might think because the cleanout should be done from the rear of the machine, and I had to put it close to the wall because I'm low on space to leave empty. There was perhaps 1/4" to 3/8" (6-10mm) of fines from filing and polishing at the bottom of the chip pan (integral part of the machine base), and that was soaking up coolant every time I turned it on. The machine hadn't had the coolant run for a couple of weeks, so the sludge was dry as a bone and came out like dry pancakes. ![]() Flowing as it should now!

Hunting American dentists since 2015.
The cabinets continue even though its horrible hot up in the cabinet shop.
The island section will have a laminated maple butcher block top. Had 2 inch maple that was flat sawn, in order to expose the edge grain it needed to be resawn to inch then strips cut from those. The boards had a slight twist, the easiest way to straighten them was the saw mill. ![]() I laminated the strips in roughly 1 foot sections, planed those then join the sections, more than a foot would be tough to put together and clamp before the glue starts to skin. ![]() Some of the sections joined, going to be a heavy chunk to move when its all assembled. The cutout is for a slide in range ![]() A close up of the laminations and joint between the sections. ![]()

I swing both ways Jerry. Haven't decided what I want to do when I grow up, continue building sawmills and the like or work with wood.
