New equipment and an owie

Hi Everyone,
Well, I got an anniversary present today--a new disc sander. This is a heavy duty critter that will be bolted down to a work bench that is in the planning stages. It spins very fast, has an adjustable table in front of it and I can do a lot of finish sanding on it.
In my elation to use it, I accidently caught my fingers on the surface of the spinning disc and Ive partially sanded the tips of several fingers of my left hand. So Im upstairs, smarting a bit from that.
And my back is hurting a bit this afternoon. Im going to take the rest of the evening off. And possibly tomorrow, too.

NEW CHINA NEW BOOK SHELF AND THE WAY WE LIKE TO LIVE

Senin, 11 April 2016

 

 

For several weeks we have been searching for some new bowls on our Saturday morning outings.

 Some of our soup bowls have broken and we found ourselves constantly frustrated without

 the same amount of dishes as we were use to. Im happy to say that last Saturday we finally found

some new bowls we really really liked.

Our new English China bowls

 

Our every day dishes are mostly second hand finds that we fall in love with.

We have 6 of this and 4 of that and we prefer it that way.

We once bought a box of country yellow mugs with matching salad plates and for good measure 

two additional plates with the same pattern but in green.

 

 

 We have also found some unusually shaped pieces, including this ginkgo plate and cabbage bowl.

 

 

But most of all we like purchasing fun patterned pieces that we have learned

not to be afraid of and to enjoy using them every day.

 

 

We ended up paying $2 each at a yard sale for our new bowls,

we simple couldnt resist the pink thistle design.??

The weather here in BC has been great for yard sales and for painting furniture

WHITE WAXING NEW TIP blue nightstands

Minggu, 03 April 2016

 

Somewhere along this journey of mine I learned about coloring your wax with ASCP. 

 I have played with it on a few projects in the past but not to great extent.

 

 

Before stepping out to try this technique I do suggest it is best to get a good handle on regular waxing first.

 

 

Quite simply you added a small amount of paint color to a small amount of wax and mix it together.

It can add so much depth and style to any project.

 

 

These elaborate little beauties got a serious make over with a final coat of whitened wax.

 

 

 

Next time I will show you the details that went into building what I have nicknamed

*The Blue Paris Beauties*

GEORGE HAS A NEW SKILL candle making and fairytale nightstands

Rabu, 30 Maret 2016

Berry Scented Pink Candles Embellished with Vintage Buttons

Believe it or not but George learned how to make candles this weekend,

and he really enjoyed it. Ive mentioned before that he likes his mason jars

and Ive also mentioned to him he needs to do something with them not just collect them.

I ran across a candle making kit at a local yard sale and bought it for him.

He learned how to add dyes to the wax to get different colors as well as different scents.

Turquoise Candle in Turquoise Painted Jar Embellished with a Hand Picked Florida Beach Shell

He has added them to his Etsy store to share with you,

and by chance if they dont sell ... Merry Christmas family!

But I have faith they will sell just look at how cute they are.

Mean while I finished up a set of story tale Snow White Nightstands.

Looking through all my photos there doesnt appear to be any before photos or even

in progress ones. It might have something to do with being the candle makers helper.

They started out as a boxy little set with some ugly screwed in spindle legs and mismatched hardware.

The new legs were from an dusty musty auction stool I picked up.

The scalloped piece on the bottom center was left over piece from a

another table and I cut to fit it between the legs.

I chose these handles because their shape mimiced this scalloped detail so well.

There is also a bit of interesting news shared over at 4 the love of WOOD facebook page
