Thanks! The only real skills involved with the ceiling were avoiding disaster. Fastening 13" wide 15 ' long boards by myself took a bit of figuring out but disaster was avoided. The walls will be Pecky Cedar as you can see in this pic. No candles allowed in the cabin!

Ceiling battens were glued and pin nailed on one side only to allow for expansion/contraction of the wide boards

I guess this is the best place to post this...

My mistake could be your gain..

I saw magnetic feathers for table saws and decided I needed them.. so I ordered, When I got it, it sat because I was between projects...fast forward to me starting up another project, out come the feathers.. and alas my table saw has a composite top.. so these are no use to me...

First person to pm gets them...

Feathers are used to hold a long piece of wood against the fence of a saw to keep the cut the same width.... sometimes depending on the wood, and when cut it tends to spread after the cut... if the wood is to thin or thick its behavior is different.. feathers hold it tight and to the same dimension during the cut.. they can also be used to hold the scrap down at the end of a cut.. ...

Woodworking stuff..

Very cool. The board is full of great folks. I don't have a table saw, so no need for me.

This vid describe use of feather pretty well, and shows the magnetic one I mistakenly bought...

And yes I used to make my own feather boards frequently... I saw this on my feed and impulse bought

I've got this on the way. Millers Falls #97.

It's got 5 modes (in addition to the 2 speeds)

Mode 1 - turn the crack and the bit goes the direction that you're turning.
Mode 2 - turn the crank clockwise and the bit goes clockwise, turn the crank the other way and it ratchets. (useful if you can't get a full rotation due to tight space)
Mode 3 - The same as mode 2 but for left handed rotation
Mode 4 - Turn the crank in either direction and the bit goes clockwise
Mode 5 - Turn the crank in either direction and the bit goes counter-clockwise.

Got a start on the pecky Cedar walls to go with the knotty ceiling in the cabin. No trim at the sliders. I prefer the routered round over, butt to glass look. Less is cleaner with the busy peck.

I'd bet that staircase cost as much as my truck + both of my motorcycles.

Im gonna say that staircase is not wood.

I just got a #80 cabinet scraper... I'll use it as the final finish before applying a finish coat. Even though this Black walnut piece has tight closed grain,, there are areas where even after using 600 grit mesh some of the grain fuzzes up...I should be able to shave the fuzz with this scraper.. The areas where the grain stays raised is the transition between the dark and light wood..

The scrapers path to me is pretty convoluted... Since you cant buy a tool like this at any retail store around here.... forget Home Depot.. So I ordered from Amazon....

I didn't notice that this tool was coming from Australia.. with Prime shipping it arrived quickly.. When I unboxed it I noticed the tool was made in England... So I bought a tool That originated in England from a place in Australia...I'm in New York

Nice, I've wanted a scraper for a while. I see that there are hand held scrapers (you just hold the "blade"), and then there are a few old style scrapers, some like what you've got there that are kind of like a spoke shave, and others that are like what you've got but even bigger.

Your scraper is a jet setter! England to Aus to NY. That's quite a trip, hell, it's almost back where it started!

This guy is for sale on a vintage tool auction. Currently up to $70+shipping. Auction ends tonight.

Could end up at $75 or could end up at $120, you never know. I suspect quite a bit more than you paid, but pretty cool.

Link? I'd buy that..

I had a beautiful molding plane set... not as big as the one always pictured on the net but the box, and tools were beautiful, also assorted sizes of spokeshaves... They were destroyed when my basement flooded from Sandy.. The box split into pieces when it dried, all the handle split and fell off and the tooling rusted together in clumps

Good group with good people. In the last 2 years that I've been in the group, I've only heard of one or maybe two issues. It's a mostly tight-nit group of good folks. I've purchased a bunch of stuff and never had an issue.

Ran into some issues putting the final coat of resin on.. seems like the cambium suddenly had to out gas a lot of bubbles... Usually you can burst the bubbles with a quick pass of a MAPP torch... but the epoxy had kicked and got to thick, so I had to sand a large area out and reseal with thinner resin..

Capped my solid core entry door with the ⅞ Pecky Cedar. A very heavy door now. Struggled with a hand truck to get it back in the cabin then had to use a crow bar and block to lift it back on the hinges

Jeez, 7/8" anything is heavy. I imagine cedar is probably lighter than a lot of other stuff, but still. Hinge upgrade?

Looks great!

And that's part of what makes yours stand out, I think. So many just don't look like water even though you can tell that's what the maker was going for. And others are just random colors with wood. For my taste, the wood and epoxy color need to work together with each other.

This painting is inspiration for my next epoxy project... I don think Ill try and replicate the trees, or boats with epoxy..
