That is SO SPIFFY! Tell her it had to be done just right because you wanted her to get proper credit from the friends you told about her assistance on the project.
I need to clarify: the mistakes were mine, not hers

I knew that. You were fixing your mistakes so she wouldn't get blamed for your shoddy work. Because you love her SO much!I need to clarify: the mistakes were mine, not hers
Had to get the lever rifles out on display so I made this out of old barn wood. These are my 30-30’s and Henry 22. Almost done with a second rack that will go on the other side of the credenza where my lever 308’s and 45-70’s will go.
always kinda wanted a good SD cane since i used to follow Newt Livesay back in the day.1 1/16th" diameter impact grade hickory, for when shooting will get you in trouble. They can't get close, and if their arms and legs no longer work, they are no longer a threat to you. As a fat old man, Col. Rex Applegate ran into two muggers in a grocery store parking lot and put them both in the hospital with his cane. Do a video search of cane self-defense if unfamiliar with just what can be done with one. As a stick fighter since the early 70s, I know, and pugil stick training in Basic was rather funny with opponents lasting between 1 and 3 seconds, to the utter disgust of the round browns. 5 coats of hand-rubbed tung oil with a week between coats and month full cure followed by 3 daily coats of polyurethane with month cure for all weather companionship, and right handy on ice, you betcha, especially with a folding ice spike tip.
Absolutely beautiful woodwork. You're a true craftsman.I made this king-sized bed frame out of walnut and maple, using various examples of the Craftsman style of design that was popular circa 1900-1910. It matches the nightstand and lamp that I made last year. There’s a strip of LED lights tucked into a groove I routed in the underside of the top cap, with strips of aluminum on the back side of the headboard for touch on/off control. It was a challenge from the concept through the CAD layout to the construction, and I did make some mistakes along the way, but all in all, I’m pleased with the results. My gf thinks I’m too hard on myself

Once again, a masterpiece of woodworking. I'm impressed!I put aside this hassock fan project, which was almost done, to do the time-sensitive bed frame project. Once the latter was done, I was able to finish this fan. The housing and diverter slats are cherry, the side panels are shedua, and the dyed epoxy insert is delineated by laser-cut walnut with a purple heartwood frame. There’s an LED strip inside the diverter cone on the underside of the top. It took five attempts to produce a satisfactory epoxy insert - my gf who did the laser work each time threatened to leave me

Awesome display of the lever guns! Nice collection!
The barn wood does really well with the classic lines of the lever actions. Nicely done!
The hats are a nice touch as well.
Don't forget the Gunsmoke Marshal's office chain and lock that runs through the levers.
