I've been teaching myself to play the past couple of months. It seams it is mathmatical. I don't know how to read music but what I can play souds good to me...
One of these days I'll teach myself how to read music. I did look at something I think was called tabs. And, that looked kinda like machine code with all the off and on marks. Who knows one day maybe I'll teach myself to write music. If I can ever learn the cords..
I know F, G, C, D and I think E on the guitar but can't remember for sure if that's right or not. It just seams like I can't get enough time in there to study and memorize the notes. 20-30 minutes every two or three days that's about all I get. Then bed and back to work. You know how it goes...
*bump*
Finished it this last weekend in my garage. Still have a few things to do like fix the leather, run wiring, probably move it all to other side of room. It needs an upper behind it too I think. Bar Stools pads will have the same leather as the rail. Oh yeah, you can't see it, but there is a slide out cutting board too.
The posts, columns, moldings, etc. were rental programs from the China Cabinet.
Needless to say, this room is a \"work-in-progress\" yet.
Let's not forget to mention the project at hand...Great work Jody. I like the finish as well. What was the finish? or better yet... How?
Nothing fancy. Just regular 'ole Minwax Cherry finish on cherry wood. Have around 3-4 coats of polyurethane...the last of which I decided to try out my cheap HVLP gun. It worked OK but nothing like the Apollo system here at work.
I have enjoyed my Apollo, I had three more turbines installed. It gave me 7 stages. Bought it new in Feb, of 03. I have the reciept in my hand believe it or not.
Well over 4 1/2 years. And I use it on everything! And I brag about this. because I have only changed the needle 1 time since I have had it.
Still great work.
By the way, This was cut on a Thermwood, wasn't it????
Yes. Everything was cut on the Thermwood, taken home, assembled and finished. You may recognise some of the pieces which were taken from the China Cabinet such as the fluted columns and lower coner posts...which flow into the lower molding.
