Miter saw
« on: June 30, 2007, 06:55:11 PM »
I love Miter saw's .... o(:-)....u can just about do anything u want with them !
We have an old corn crib / barn that we are going to take down , JB said I could have all the old barn
sideing to do whatever I want with it ...too bad most of it is rotted but I can get some good boards off of it.
I made this birdhouse out of some of it . I painted a fake hole cause the darn sparrows would try to build a nest in it if it had a real hole ....silly birds .. ;D

Cute birdhouse.

I'd love to have a whole shop full of wood working stuff.  I'd learn how to use it all when I retire.

Very cute.  My girlfriend and I wanted to make birdhouses for Xmas gifts, and cover them with twigs, as seen in Better Homes & Gardens.  But the craft store ones were too expensive, by the time you got all the parts and did all the glueing, etc.  Yours is really cute.

I, too, am reusing wood this week.  The builder next door tore down my fence and wrecked my arbors.  The lawsuit is finally over (I won  :) ) but I've yet to see any money.  There are repairs to be done.  There is enough wood here, though, in the wreckage, to do most of what I need to do, and I've spend the weekend building shelves for plants, and extending my deck the distance between my (now gone) fence and his fence.  Once he moved his fence off my property and onto his own, suddenly my yard is bigger, by the distance between.  I simply laid boards between my deck and his fence rails, and voilà!  1' more deck space!   ;D

Woodworking is fun!

I love that.. I have a birdhouse I am working on now.  I am doing the "see rock city" one.  I use to love seeing those barns as a kid going through the blue ridge mountains :)

I love wood working to.  I got into cutting out the big patterns for xmas designs.. I made the reindeer and big wooden sleigh but I ruined quiet a few jigsaw blades so I gave up that hobby pretty quick :)

lookin good Bonnie O0!  I have so many things like that that I want to do I just need a few more of me to get them done.  We just built the kids a new swing set because theirs was starting to rot and it was sooooooooo much easier with the miter saw and the miter saw stand really comes in handy too to cut boards the exact length without having to keep measuring. 

Here's a picture of it.  And we actually finished it  @O@ @O@ @O@, it seems like lots of things get started but nothing gets finished, but this did.

Monica ,
U finally got that swingset done !  @O@
It look's great too!
I've bought some landscapeing timbers to make a few benche's . I saw a neat picture of them in
a pattern book one time & thought I'd give it a try. It'll be alot cheaper to make them then buy 'em

Thx everyone for your comment's they're appreacited .
