Yeah, it's pretty white up here. Not much of any other color.

After game dinner ...

What does supervising a basketball game consist of? You're gonna be mayor of that place soon enough! Was dinner in one of the casinos? I don't recall anywhere with that many screens very near you... 

My day will consist of more 3D printing of things for an old bike, it's so much easier than doing actual mechanical work and you don't have to wash grease off your hands when you're done.

I just lock the door and turn off the lights at the end of the night - that's pretty much it.

Dinner was at like 11:00 PM last night so the casinos are the only thing open with food.

Post up pics of the printer stuff - very cool process.

@Earache I’m refurbing a chair (well it will be two chairs, two sofas and and coffee table) and I wondered what the wood is. Any chance you know? The chairs have been stored cos I couldn’t part with them but didn’t know what to do with it till now.

Think thats a date sticker, it was certainly bought in the 70’s if that narrows down by what was available then. Its extremely heavy and hard wearing. I used the sofas for about 15 years with three boisterous wreckers in the house and there’s not a mark on them. Quite an open grain.

Is that a no boots symbol?

I think it's a drinks container (like you get in a fast food joint).  I will have to take a suit as there is a dress code :classic_unsure:

Parts look like red oak, but the arm has a more open style grain like fir. But if it's a heavy wood, it's most likely oak.

Nice piece!

 

Oak desktop pic added for comparison,,,

Oak cleans up really nicely and should look great when you're done. Be sure to post some pics of the process and finished piece!

@Earache Quite happy with the first session considering I’ve never used any of the tools (apart from scissors) before, so the base is nearly ready.

Started off with a layer of nylon with foam attached that crumbled to a choking dust when you touched it, rubber webbing that had degraded to the point of disintegration and some bizarre packing tape repair which only farmer genetics would consider ok 😆 oh and so many awful staples.

New webbing, a layer of hessian and some recycled felt, just one more layer before tackling the big stuff.

Who is the fourth person you’re taking?

My mother-in-law on the flight to Napoli and then my sister-in-law to Milan and flight home .  Hence my anxiety trying to sort it all out :classic_laugh:

Personally I don't think so, it's just an observation on where I live and where @Earache lives .  Anyway, white kids can't jump  ..................

You can't jump either but I don't think it is because you is white.
