Ok been busy and not sitting on my duff on the lawnmower seat. got the pattern in shape and ready to pour tomorrow, if we don't get rained on again, I'd sure like to know who PO'd Mother Nature, but one good thing is the weather has been beautiful the last couple of weeks some hot days but basically nice.
OK enough of that pictures is that this is about so here we are
first up is the start of the pattern rebuild. One Maple board about 6 feet long now I cut off about 14 inches of it for this pattern.
second the start of the pattern this is the leg that bolts to the shaper
third is the head end where it fits over the leadscrew there are a couple more pieces that glue onto this and a bunch of time in the milling machine
fourth is all glued up with wood filler its about 11 PM at this time, waiting on glue to dry takes time.
fifth is the pattern hanging in the Redneck Paint Booth getting the first of several coats of RED
sixth is after several more coats of RED

I had planed on some photos of the neighbors shop but he said cameras were not allowed that the photos might get back to his wife and he would have to take down the calendars he's collected.
