Neurotic to a Tea: March 2014
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. However, Lara and I debated about what we should make next. I pitched her the idea of a drop leaf table (also known as a Pembroke table. That would be small enough for four and big enough for two to eat breakfast on. Her eyes lit up over that. So as of right now, I'm waiting on receipt of 30 bf of soft maple to get started on my next project. Posted by Howard Newell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hurry Up and Wait.

Neurotic to a Tea: It's That Time of Year Again
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-that-time-of-year-again.html
Thursday, August 21, 2014. It's That Time of Year Again. So what does this mean? Nothing, really. Just that Hornady SST bullets are very favorable to my gun for whatever reason and they're effective. Just looking on the internet for a particular brand of ammo will yield two camps, those that state "I was able to group 10 shots within a gnat's hair at 500 yards" and those that rebut "the results of this ammo make me thing my rifle sneezed all its bullets out over the target.".

Neurotic to a Tea: May 2014
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. The great thing about using these wild wood cherry pieces is that it stands out for the drawer fronts. Grain that twists and dives in an undulating pattern, pieces that have large bullseye patterns in corners where a branch had started growing. The problem is that this figure doesn't lend very well to structural integrity. That wasn't thick enough. Tomorrow I'll cut the drawer bottoms and get everything fitted. Posted by Howard Newell.

Neurotic to a Tea: Sideboard finished
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014/07/sideboard-finished.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2014. I debated about refinishing the top. Although I had French polished it, I hadn't done quite enough bodying sessions, and the shellac had shrunk back into the pores which also highlighted low spots in the top. This set it apart from the high gloss drawer fronts, and not for the better. Over time I expect it to acquire a more semi-gloss look after dishes and plates slowly scratch the surface.

Neurotic to a Tea: January 2015
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 2, 2015. It's So Nice When it Happens Good. The only thing left to do for most of the projects are to finish them with shellac, which I'll do on a warm day, but considering how smoothly most of the projects came together, I don't anticipate any hiccups during it.

Neurotic to a Tea: Tea Caddy Finished
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014/10/tea-caddy-finished.html
Sunday, October 5, 2014. It was different working with stock this thin and small, and I learned a fair amount on resawing wood by hand. And that I'm horrible at making moldings and mitering them. But I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a box maker. Posted by Howard Newell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hurry Up and Wait. The Working Dilemma, Part II. Tea hype and the $10,000 yixing.

Neurotic to a Tea: February 2014
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 15, 2014. Thus Saith The Law. Quicker than your fastballs have gone over the plate.'. Well, Jackson had one more pitch before he got up on the mound. But something went awry! He became so confused, that instead of pitching to the catcher, he turned 180 degrees and watched his errant ball bounce off the face of the heckler! Well, Jackson said what you and I would probably have said under those same circumstances: 'Oh gee whiz! How in the world did that just happen? For the evening, ther...

Neurotic to a Tea: August 2013
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Milton Friedman in Practice. A recent article on cnbc.com describes alternative ways to pay for college. But the one method that garnered my attention was an individual who used crowdsourcing to generate enough money to pay university tuition. The reason why it was interesting to me is because Milton Friedman, in Free to Choose. I just thought it was really neat to see it in action, though I'm curious as to if this will result in a drop in humanities. Posted by Howard Newell.

Neurotic to a Tea: Sideboard is complete...now it needs to be finished.
http://neurotictoatea.blogspot.com/2014/06/sideboard-is-completenow-it-needs-to-be.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. Sideboard is complete.now it needs to be finished. Never do this. It's much easier to cut the patch, scribe the recess around the patch, and then route the recess. You can do it the opposite way, but then you have to mess around with tracing paper and attaching it to the patch. It's a pain. It doesn't fill the broken wood exactly, but it's enough to prevent your eye constantly returning to that one spot. Posted by Howard Newell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
