Trying to work in the shop today. Feeling weak but managed to get the blocks glued in
Maybe I'll get some banding done later...

Ever wonder why furniture makers have so many clamps?

Nice fly swatter.

And that looks like something from a sci-fi or horror movie, LOL.

I've got 2 swatters in my workshop. Something about sawdust seems to attract hornets.

The garage is air conditioned but every once in awhile I like to open it up and get fresh air. Then comes the flies and mosquitoes..

My hands were cramping up so I'm out out the shop for today.

I would vote against those bases. I can’t stand the common “pedestal” base, personally. Your progress looks great, but get creative with the base.

You've been buying them your entire life...I'll stick with normal...

Has anybody actually used the Ostrich vinyl on a table and have a review to share?

 

[Rebelwork]

Buddy of mine I'ds checking to see how much leather he has and what colors. I hope there's enough to do a table.

Any of you actually playing on leather? Any problems?

I assume you mean for the playing surface? I don't remember seeing anyone with that. Two potential issues I see: 1) keeping it clean, 2) lack of card slide, especially when not clean.

 

[Rebelwork]

No not the playing surface, the rail around...

 

[Jake14mw]

Oh, okay, some people have done that. I've never done it myself. Seems like it would be a big PITA with leather that doesn't stretch. Sure would look/feel nice though.

A big PITA is an upcharge...

I believe I played on a leather rail at least once, but for the life of me I cannot confirm. Basically, it's a lot of extra cost for no appreciable benefit since I can't remember where. If the room room was already extremely nice, I could see it to match leather and dark wood chairs. Even then, a much more affordable stretch vinyl would still work, be a lot easier to work with from a build standpoint, and wouldn't have seams.
