OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Nov 15, 2019 3:21 pm

Very pretty, Lenn! Nothing better than a nice piece of wood.

I can see it now-
Pitchy's saw mill & Furniture
Nice work my friend!!

I did a couple of those tilt top tables, but the ones I did are a bench/ table. Gotta see if I can find the pics.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Nov 15, 2019 4:56 pm

Thanks guys, i`d call them rustic furniture.

Oh yeah Lenn. Lookin' good! Wish there was some way to get a few of these walnut logs to you.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 7:32 am

Thanks Ron, oh man would`t walnut be fun but i don`t think my old mill would do it justice , i think a band mill would be in order for that.

Small box and table.

Here's the tilt top I did a couple years ago.

Oak with orange shellac for that old antique look with top coat of polyurethane for wear resistance. The frame is all mortise and tenon, no glue, screws or nails. It knocks down if you ever move.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 6:28 pm

Nice Gunny, and a bench besides.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 6:39 pm

Thank you!

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » Sat Nov 16, 2019 9:40 pm

Nice one Gunny! Did you design this or have plans?

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 6:56 am

I took a couple pics, measurements from an antique original that a friend has. I normally do a prototype in pine, it's cheaper and I like knotty pine, then after getting the learning curve down I'll do one in hard wood to order. The oak table was for another friend, his brother milled the oak before his passing.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 7:09 am

Nice work Gunny and Pitchy!
I did all the finish work in my house. I make little trinkets and shelves and small furniture items.
I'm not in you guy's league, however.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 7:17 am

Here is how the bench part is joined.

The seat part has tenons that hold the sides together.

Jay you could do any of this type of work , just gotta go slow and try !

Thanks buddy. Having the right tools makes a big difference too.

The reason i`m making so much stuff.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:10 pm

Come on down, I'll teach how!!

Planer makes life much easier! What brand is that?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:17 pm

Belsaw.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:19 pm

Never heard of that brand! Looks like a good machine. How wide of a board will it take?
I see it's a moulder too, did you get any cutters?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 2:32 pm

Foley Belsaw, planer molder that will plane a 12 1/16th wide board and 6- 1/4 thick.
Yep got a new set of blades a few new molding cutters too.
Bought it from a friend that took good care of it.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 3:23 pm

That's great!
I have a Dewalt 13" and a Woodmaster 18" planer/ moulded. It was left to me by a buddy that passed suddenly- darn cancer! This machine also has a gang saw attachment and a sanding drum.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 3:28 pm

I used to have a new Ridged planer but tore the pot metal gears out of it three times, i need something heavy duty to plane rough lumber.
This thing has a five HP motor on it and built tough.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:14 pm

Thanks Gunny, wait till ya see tomorrows table.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 7:47 pm

Just something about knotty pine that I love! Sure I do projects out of oak, cherry,walnut or other hardwoods but i always go back to pine for my own stuff. Cant wait to see the table!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Nov 24, 2019 1:35 pm

Got er done, pretty cool design, gotta put a little poly on it yet.
Here`s the link to the original.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Nov 26, 2019 3:23 pm

One more table i wanted to make a card table.
Have to put some poly on it yet.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Tue Nov 26, 2019 4:27 pm

What time does the poker game start?! Another nicely executed piece of work bud!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Nov 26, 2019 4:32 pm

Thanks Gunny, most of them have a half round skirt on them but i don`t have a way to bend wood right now.
The poly is drying now i`ll post another pic when its done with some cards and six shooter on it.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 7:53 am

Few more pics of the table showing the nice grain in the pine.
Thanks for all the replies.

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:18 pm

love everything about pine. looks great pitchy

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 3:21 pm

Thanks Grizz, now i`ll have to beat Norma in a game of cards.

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 1:04 pm

I bet you could sell those by the 100s with those advertising photos... what is the finish you use?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 1:19 pm

I stained it with golden oak first then a coat of shellac , finished off with tow coats of polyurethane.

Thanks Grizz.

M. M. Wright · Post by **M. M. Wright** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 8:48 pm

Love the table Pard. Where'd you get them Harley cards? And the conversion is right at home there.

Hope you and Norma had a big bait of turkey. After I ate I went into a turkey induced coma for about a hour then woke up and ate a piece of pecan pie and a piece of buttermilk pie.

A friend gave me the cards, pretty neat set but not western so i ordered a deck of old west ones.
Yea i ate to much also, never even made it to the pie so you can eat more than me.
