Thread: Table for the Dogs

This is the first project I have used my new drum sander on.

Pic 1:
The top is made up of 3 board glued together. The boards had a few cracks & splits so I forced in as much glue as I could & rubbed on some sawdust.

Same top feeding out.

Looking very good, keep us updated on the work in progress.

Looking good for sure.

Thanks for the encouragement fella's, as you both know, Friday is my woodworking day with dear old dad, but this friday he has to go and have stichers taken out, so he can't play.

I was pretty confident that I could remove them for him, but for some reason, he want's to go back to the doc

Any way, I got invited to go fishing on friday, so I might have a day off as well.

We'll fly into it again next week.

Steve

Looking good Steve!! You really do enjoy working with your dad!!

Hey Artme, yeh mate, I love working with dear old dad. I give him all the hard jobs, you know, wear out the old ones first.

Didn't get to go fishing on Friday, blowin about 35 knots & waves were OMG. my mate & I hit the town & still had a good day.

Hit the tools again on friday.

Bending over to wash and groom dogs is bad news. Good to see such a human-oriented project.
With 2 x 40kg Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, I have a problem of scale. So, after a fun outing to roll in bear crap. . . . . . ( Ursus #5)

The bathtub downstairs is set up on brick & masonry pillars, 5 bricks high. Made some steps to walk the dogs up and over one end. Y-joint mixer, coil hose and pistol squirt gun.

If I had to do a renno, I'd add 3 more bricks to each pillar.

My kids are now 30-somethings. I wonder where their doll houses and "little" furniture went. All I have left is the cradle.

I remember doing lots of things with my father, I didn't always enjoy them, or appreciate them for what I learnt at the time. As i grew older I began to really enjoy our time together.

Surprisingly, what i enjoyed most was cutting and loading firewood, shovelling gravel and erecting fernhouses and fences.

Hey Robson,
Chesapeak Bay Retrievers, I had to look that one up. Nice looking dogs, & I love the pups. And Ursus #5, what is that, a grizzly? All we have are a few Kamakazi Drop bears up in the hills, but they are pretty timid.

Do you hunt with your dogs? Canada Goose? I used to have a Reminton 1100 12G., until the pollies took the legally owned guns away from the law abiding citizens after some nut case went troppo back in the 90's. Now all I have left is a couple od DB's 12G & a .22.

Our dogs are Maltese x Shih Tzu . Max is rather aesthetically challenged, so I have to keep telling him that he is the handsomest puppy in the whole village, & Molly just thinks she is a princess. My wife spoils them, ... not me though.

Yep, I know what you mean mate. Bloody hard to live up to arn't they

Gday again,

Well, it's ll finished.

This wasn't a difficult project, not an amazing design, & no exotic timber, but it was kinda fun.

I have also been building a new bench for my RA Saw at the same time, so it has prolly taken a little longer than it should have.

anyway, here's he pics.

Good project to sink you teeth into. Well done.

Thanks fella's, this one was loads of fun.
