Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

This was a recent project for an old building renovation. The handrail is over 100 years old. I had to rework the joinery both upstairs and going down. Also had to add a 6' piece to the handrail. Used a table saw to cut a cove to get profile. First time doing that. Don't recommend it if at all possible.

The white balusters I had to make 10 new ones and blend them in with the old.

I also make the treads and risers out of quartersawn walnut. There is an old school veneer factory close by the slices the veneers off and your left with a 1" more or less of quartersawn wood. Made thick veneers with a bullnose front for the treads. Turned out awesome looking. Here is the walnut landing

I have been working on a fishpond with a small cascade and split double waterfall, for what seems like forever. Is a birthday/christmas present for the Wife. All the stone I nabbed from the nearby riverbed, which is probably illegal. All woodworking on the back burner. Nearly done with it now, couple more days work, then I will post some photos. I have an American friend, has a summer house here close-by with a fishpond; he has no idea how the fish got in there. So I will get some "wild" fish from his pond, and maybe a frog or two.

Anybody have in projects in the works to show and tell about?

Cww I have seen and read about cutting coves with a table saw it did not look fun at all. It looked like it can go wrong in a hurry. How big is the pond Brian? Masonry projects by yourself take a long time. Seems like I been working on a masonry project the last 3 summer's.

Cutting cove on TS is a little scary. At no point did I feel comfortable. Lol. It constantly felt like it was going to kick back. But the profile was 100 yes old and I didn't know how else to do it. The cut is also really rough. Had to start with 80g when sanding. It's also hard to get the depth and width right with the angle of the fence. You really have to sneak up on it. I adjusted the fence properly 10-15 times.

Cutting cove on a tablesaw has been on my to-attempt list for awhile, but reading after CW´s post, ehh, maybe not. Sure does look squirrely when watching others do it on youtubes.

Pond is not all that big, C125, we are talking small fish. About 4 meters long, 2,5 meters wide, and 65cm in the deepest section. Sorry, I cant think in inches/feet anymore. I will post photos soon.

The one valueable thing I have learned while building this pond is, I am not doing this again. Lol.

I have cut a cove on a table saw.
This is the result.

I built a jig (since saw one that rockler sells) The jig made it very safe to do. This is the rockler jig. Mine is a lot like this one. Rockler has a better hold down. The safe way to use it is to inch the blade up in very small amounts and make a lot of passes.

Back on Rubio Mono coat. I have applied a second coat still a dull finish that is not going to pop the grain and provide chatoyance. I have heard that some put on as much as 3 coats. Maybe soft maple absorbs a lot?

BTW the cove had a hand rubbed shellac finish (French polish I think method)

CWW,

Yeah I did not have to match anything, I just made a crown with curly maple I had to match all the other material. I have not posted that "Linen Press" on LJ since I made it way before I knew you guys. BTW thanks. It is probably the best thing I have ever made.
