It’s great when you apply a finish to your project, and really get wowed with the results. Great , simple project again, sir. I tip my hat to you.
Thanks for the kind words David. I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and for tuning in to the show. Thanks.
Great work. I agree about the glue on the rubber feet, what they use is junk at the best of times. I normally use CA glue on mine.
Glad that you liked the show Charles. Thanks for chiming with your method of attaching the feet. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has experienced the lack of adhesive quality on these things. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Very nice idea 👍🏼
Thank you Tomas. I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you for tuning in to the show.
Kenny, that came out fantastic. Great choice of wood and finish. Ok, you win, best use of scrap wood and for saving the best stuff. Words aren’t good enough for this one....👏👏👍👍
Thanks for the kind words Paul. This project is pretty striking visually, although the design is rather simple. It's all about choice of woods and how they will contrast with this project. I love the ebony. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show. Is there a trophy or award for "Best Scrap Wood Project"? Should I prepare an acceptance speech? LOL
Well done Kenbo. I love the curl!!
Thank you sir. I appreciate you tuning in. Glad that you liked the project. I'm kind of fond of the curl myself.
Wow Ken, the finish made it come alive. Thanks for sharing.
I just love the way that the grain and colour really get to the full potential when the finish is applied. It's like a surprise package and you never know what you are going to get. Thanks for tuning in this week Dale. Great to hear your comments on the show.
Great video again. Loved the way the colors lit up with the oil being applied. Thanks for showing and sharing.
I love it as well Wayne. You never know what you are going to get and this one is beautiful. Thanks for tuning in to the program this week.
Another really good show Kenny! I'm with you, revealing great grain is something to get excited about.
I love it Mike. It's one of my favourite things. It looks so plain one minute and the next thing you know, BAM!!! It's a piece of art. Thanks for tuning in to the show Mike.
Gorgeous piece!
Thank you very much Kathleen. I'm glad that you like it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Very nice great idea 👍
Thanks very much. Thank you for tuning in.
That looks great kenny
Glad that you like it. Maybe another project for you and your grandad? Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I'll get to watching this, till then...

The world has definitely lost a legend. One of my idols and my favourite band since I was in my early teens. Saw them many times in concert and was awed with every performance. He will be missed.
A pretty card holder.
Rubber feet: putting the hot glue on the feet instead, will help centering them and make no mess on the wood... just a thought.
Thanks for the kind words on the show Marcus and for chiming in with your suggestion for the glue application. The methods I demonstrate on the show are merely a suggestion and there is always an alternative method. Yours sounds great. Thanks for tuning in.
I too love to see the finish, reveal what is hidden in the grain pattern.
I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one Andy. I was starting to think that I was alone on that. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir and taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it.
@@acutabove_woodworkings always a pleasure. Have just watched the scale model series, awesome.
@@andyfarmer759 Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Good day Kenny, great starting project for any woodworker kicking off as a DYI. By the way I noticed on the bottom you have a wood burnt logo or simillar. Can you tell me who did this for you, as in Australia there is not a lot of companies that do it.
Regards,
Wilko
This one was given to me as a gift but I believe that they got it from Lee Valley Tools. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/32191-non-electric-branding-irons
A quick search on amazon.com, revealed quite a few options as well. I just searched for "branding irons for wood". I hope this help you out Gary. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Nice little project Kenny.
I have noticed on a couple of your projects that you try to find the centre of a strip of wood. A number of years ago I picked up an OFFSET MARKER at a trade fair. It finds the centre for you each and every time.
www.amazon.com have them for a few dollars but I bet you could make one .
Thanks for the kind words on the project Cliff. I might just have to make one and film an episode of the show for it. Thanks for the idea and for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings No worries
I shall look forward to that one.
At time 6:57....What is that sliding, measuring tool you are using with the holes through it?
That device would be my T-rule and it is made by INCRA. They are available at most woodworking suppliers or directly from INCRA. I got mine at Lee Valley Tools. Here's a link www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/marking-and-measuring/rules/58877-incra-t-rules. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
what is the finished length of the two uprights?
@3:24 (roughly) I demonstrate how to cut the uprights. The lower measurement is 1 3/4" and the upper measurement is 15 degrees up from that. I'm not sure what the final measurement ended up to be as this project was given away. Thanks for tuning in.
