Shop Foreman is out sick. Boss informs me it's my job today.

Asked was this optional.

ROFL

 

A sad day.

Alek is 12, a rescue, a big 100lb Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He greets everyone with a wagging butt and tail. Does not like loud noises so his time in the shop is limited. Thunder has him hiding behind my chair. One of the best dogs I have ever had, friendly to all, good with other pets, never a problem.
Today is his last. We have an appointment with the vet to put him down. The cancer in his leg we treated at the Univ. of GA vet clinic 8 years has returned with no hope this time. He is suffering, now is the time.
Have not decided to keep the ashes, bury them, or spread them in the big pond he loved to swim in, where he chased the geese and ducks.

Love them while they are with you. They give more than they receive.

-It's not a mistake it's a design opportunity

 

Changed my icon. Live on Alek.

 

i feel your pain ron when our last beagle had a stroke in the middle of the night we called a service that came to our house and put her down in her bed with us all comforting her.it was a rough day but there was no hope.the vet did a beautiful service,after she passed he took her and had her cremated and then brought the ashes back to us.we buried her in the back yard.the weird thing when we got our new beagle pup was she went and layed on top of the grave spot the first day she arrived.it was kind of creepy.

your doing the right thing ron,many dont know when it's time to let go.peace my friend.

 

Sorry for your lost Ron, always tough. They are family just without the drama.

 

Ron- my prayers to you…

amen!

 

987Ron…We have had dogs all our lives. They are great, the day you have to put them down counts as the one of the worst days of your life. My thoughts are with you. I have a 6yo and a 6 mo… one of the motivators for the second dog is to have her around when the other goes…. We have a couple of friends that will not get another dog because it is so horrible to loose them, but I prefer to remember the times when they were around. So sorry for your loss.

On another note, progress is slow on the man shop. It's been so cold last week, but this week is nice. Yesterday we got the garage door in, and today the roof is going on. Tomorrow, I shop for all the electrical. We're getting closer!

 

Sorry to hear that, Ron. I feel your pain, really.

 

mike i hear people say that they will never get another dog because of the pain of losing them.after our last beagle was put down i told my wife the same thing,lucky she didn't listen to me and got another,i couldn't imagine our life without her.

Resaw on the tablesaw…grabbed the wrong pushstick for the job…and get it rejected by the tablesaw…

It WILL leave a mark….

No Guinness was involved….until I came back upstairs from the CLOSED shop….who was the one who suggested I resaw them scraps, anyway…...methinks hold an ice cold Guinness in this hand will help out, right now…

thanks for giving us another reminder of the dangers of woodworking it cant be said ,or shown enough.you were lucky on that,could have been far worse.also shows how quick something can go wrong from a simple lapse of attention no matter how careful we are.

 

I read Richs post on it. Quick way to set it up. If you have the set up block its even faster if its the same size material. I might try his method the next time I use it. I used it on Ipe that was a nightmare. That stuff is like trying to cut stone. MDF DW? A bruise is better than losing a finger. Sometimes thats the sign to hang it up for the day after a close call.

 

Gunny and Ron did you see the 4 cyl engine in the projects?

 

MDF DW?
- corelz125

Sort of… Medex and Medite type of the MDF family. Medex for outdoor rated and Medite for indoor; the stuff is very dense; machines 5stars; hold a "glue joint"

No added formaldehyde resin system
Especially suitable in interior applications where moisture is a concern, Medex does succeed in the 6 cycle accelerated aging test
Superior physical properties to standard MDF. Truly high performance screwholding and MOR capabilities, among others

Sold through most hardwood distributors - want some free sample go to this site and who does not like free…

https://www.roseburg.com/product/medex/

Here are some of my test pieces in the outdoor test area…

6 years in the outdoors without any added UV protection…

 

Interesting stuff DW where did you first find it?

 

Corelz-Go to that link order a free sample- Around 2004 I had a knack to talk to my suppliers about MDO; a favorite of Norm Abrams and Andrew Pitts was using high-density foam. The guys at Spellman's hardwoods in AZ told me about a popular board for outdoor use Medex… My material of choice. Go get a few free samples

Next interests- Particleboard and Melamine- just ask.

Be easy to shave the head to increase the compression ratio. haha
Early VW's Engines had 8 pieces of wood in them so why not an entire engine.
