Well, I found her online.  Whew! As we used to say way back when, "She looks rode hard and put away wet!"

OK, the logo medallion is finished!  Here's the layout for one of the keys/dutchmen Sniper wants installed to keep the bass joint stable.  There will be one at the heel end as well.

Getting quite a workout on this one, Bill!  Looking great...is that one of those inlay router inserts w/removable bushing?

Yep, it's the set up from Rockler.  Works pretty good.  I like using the pattern router bits with roller bearing better than the brass ring setup.

the medallion looks amazing. how do you fill in the gaps between the logo and the routing? i cannot tell by looking at the finished picture vs the one where you just did the routing that it is the same wood piece. do you put sawdust in the epoxy?

i understand about the dutchman keys, a friend of mine owns 1300 acres in VA and her barn is so old it is pegged together with old growth oak beams. the house is not antibellum though it burnt and was rebuilt in the early 1900's but the day kitchen is prewar as well as the cabin which was the original slave quarters. its quite an old farm. the last time i was there i walked around and noticed stuff like that and then found some civil war musket/mini balls laying in her field.

i love the old world craftsmanship you are applying in this build.

The supplied bit from Rockler is also probably better than the 'Harbor Fright' one.

Definitely some neat 4-1-1 going on here...

Yikes, I wouldn't use anything form "The Harbor" for precsion work!  Or durability.

Yeah but I replaced the not so good part with an Onsrud CNC cutter.  OTOH I would never use rattlecans for a pro paint job but I would a $29 spray gun.  Gotta pick my spots, I'm on a $700 a month SS pension. ;D

I hear ya.  I want a spray gun setup vntually, but I don't have a good place to do it and our weather here sucks!  My ultimate plan is for a shop with a spary area walled off from the rest of the shop.  Surprisingly, in limited situations, the cans do work well.  Practice makes perfect!   :P

Yeah, when I got back from China I used rattlecans to do my '57 P tribute.

You will love it when you get your spray set up and find out what you've been missing.

I can't wait to have a spray set up.  It will be a year or more before I can figure it out.
