Stage 1. Would have liked to do stage 2 tonight but I gotta start winding down #woodworking

[trs@metasocial.com]

@frew so the gummy bears are solidified… BLO? something else?

[daniel_bohrer@chaos.social]

@trs @frew I was thinking about solidified hide glue, but they could also well be gummy bears given the amount of gelatin in them

[frew@mastodon.social]

@trs hide glue made out of gelatin etc! I can share a recipe if you ever want to make it

[frew@mastodon.social]

@daniel_bohrer @trs yep

[xabean@infosec.exchange]

@frew @trs LOL this is how rumors of Jolly Rancher sour apple glue being the best begin

[frew@mastodon.social]

@xabean @trs this glue was developed with actual flavored gummy bears so you’re not wrong!

Stage 2. #woodworking

[frew@mastodon.social]

Triple checking. #woodworking

[xabean@infosec.exchange]

@frew ohhhhhhh winding sticks

[frew@mastodon.social]

Wrapping up. #woodworking

[satterle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@frew Looking good! What's the rocker material - looks different from the rest? And what's the finish on the seat?

[frew@mastodon.social]

@satterle seat is Eastern White Pine. Rockers are hickory. Spindles are red oak. The rest is ash. Finish is BLO and will add soft wax after it cures.

Rocking chair. Made as part of a Peter Galbert workshop in Berwick Maine, so many of the parts I received and shaped, joined, glued, wedged, pinned, finished, etc. Seat is eastern white pine, rockers are hickory, spindles are red oak, and the rest is ash. Glued with glue I made at home. Finished with BLO and soft wax I made at home. #woodworking

@frew Nice job! It looks great.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@Jason844 thanks. I’m pretty pleased. There is, as usual, room for improvement, but I’m happy to sit in it
