Remodeling, with reclaimed wood,our work in progress, as we put this house together.

This is where we are today. The ceiling is being clad with reclaimed barn wood from kentucky, (I believe). I will double check.

This face frames are sanded fitted, then lacquered white with sealer, then sprayed black. After all has dried, we then sand through at random. After the dust has settled we then stain with perfect brown dye stain. Once this completely dry, ( the next day) we finish all with top coat of lacquer. The key to all is that every coat is lacquer base, so there is chance of ill compatibility.

This the same job. Above pieces will be at the south end of the kitchen, with an island and bar area. the main kitchen is distress very little to match the above.

These frameworks are again sprayed white, but then we wipe on Van-dyke brown glaze, and then as above, with semi gloss lacquer.

Vanity outside corner cabinet, before finishing to match the white/van dyke framework.

This picture shows my first attempt at making a "T" washer to use to bolt the sphere jig. The second picture has the jig repositioned, parallel to the bed ways, I like this position much better, as it allows me to plunge to the depth I require. Then I reposition it, toward the center by + 1/8" or so. Also you need to play with the speed of the lathe. I believe I was some where around 250-300 rpm. This piece is a cut off, I never measured the thickness. it is just thicker than the 2 enclosed bearing I plan to mount. Also it's thicker because I wanted to add girth, to ensure more rigidity. This picture show the center knocked out. I used the router to go as thin a...
