no
but uh
yeah i got a i just finished a project one of those um swinging cradles
uh-huh
and i turned all the spindles for that and that took a long time but it was pretty fun
i'll bet
was it hard woods you were using in it
yeah oak
uh-huh
that's really hard to turn
uh-huh
but
and make it look nice it is
yeah
had to fill a lot of chip marks up but
it really chips really easy

uh-huh
is it hard wood when you use when you what kind of hard wood do you use
i use oak face frames and then just plywood for the box
that plywood that's got the oak uh do you use that a lot where it's just you know what maybe a quarter inch or even thinner than that possibly piece of oak that's on the outside do you use that a lot
the yeah the just on the outside where it shows yeah just slip it into a groove that you make on the face frame
uh-huh
and then you can just slip that in there it's a lot cheaper of course quarter inch and three quarter inch aren't much cheaper than each other
um-hum
of plywood
uh-huh
but
and then they just have an oak face on them
yeah just a
are they ready to uh
i guess finish or do you have to do anything
for to the plywood yeah i just finish sand it just like with one fifty

and your wife puts up with that
uh she puts up with me buying the tools she likes wood she likes me wood working but
uh-huh huh
getting the equipment i want sure is taken a lot of years i started when i was about sixteen buying my own equipment
um
and i only need a few more things like a joiner i'd like to have and small some smaller things
expensive you can get a lot of money in that kind of stuff especially the good stuff
oh man everytime we
yeah i just bought a a sprayer to finish my project um a high volume low pressure sprayer
air uh air uh air pressure
it's a high volume low pressure they're new sprayers that are coming out
huh
really little over spray
is is is it electric or air
it's air it only sprays with three PSI
um
but uh the cubic feet per minute of air flow is up to ninety and so that's what
that's what gives you your thrust of your paint
um
um do you do
how much how much does that cost you
it was five hundred bucks
is that right gee and that was just for the gun that wasn't for the compressor anything
