Almost finished! And almost all salvage. Heart of Eastern Red Cedar, Black Walnut, walnut compass, (all trees from clearing/storm damage) surround with white oak, 3 band, spalted red oak, 5 band, white oak, with the black walnut, heart of eastern red cedar, pin stripped oak and antique heart of pine, trimmed with oak. The N is for Nautalis and is from an oak Burl, giving a change of grain pattern. The driftwood base juxtaposes the finished top playing with the rough seas, with shiny new brass screws. This was a fun one, hope it sells. Just got a new commission for a metal top table, can't wait to bust out the MIG!
Fun part was playing with the numbers, even/odd, I like sneaking in Masonic stuff, hahaha aha

The other is a live 400A fuse box I was measuring. It's weird. It looks like some hunks of metal, but you through some pliers in there and you'd be delivered to the morgue in burnt pieces. There's enough juice in a relatively small guy like this one that short circuiting two of the wires would literally be like a bomb going off. Electricity is kinda scary once you understand it well, yet really cool! I've making stuff work.
I'm hoping in a few years this will all be a past life, trying to get onto the local police service!

You totally got me

Ha! *******
Paramedic, with a focus on wilderness rescue. Best job in the world. I actually get paid to climb, hike, and play in the river!
T_Baggins said:Some days are NOT better than others. I spent yesterday and most of today building a couple of small stainless round hoppers with reducing cones inside them. Sure I look at the prints 500 times a day and never noticed the inlet was on the wrong the side of the access door! Fitting them up was a *****! The cnc laser had bad programming or something. They etch the flat parts with the door location before they are rolled. Somehow they etched the wrong side of the flat part, so when it went to the roller, it got rolled backwards. I never noticed. Some other guys working on more of the order noticed theirs were wrong and checked the rest of ours, to find out I wasted about 18 hrs of labor... I hate it when that happens cuz I feel really stupid for not catching the mistake before some one else did. Oh well, stuff happens.
You're right. That stuff does happen. More than I'd like. It happens in our shop too. I run a cnc plasma table and do the programming for it too. I also am the engineer that designs the component. So if something is wrong, it's usually my fault. That sucks. Once in a while our fabricator will interpret the drawings wrong, but again, I make the drawings. So obviously I didn't make them clear enough. It's rough, but it happens. I had some guys fabricate a pipe spool today and they didn't believe my drawing was right so they took their own measurements and fooked it all up. Turns out my drawing was spot on. When that happens, ya got to call a spade a spade. They felt bad and apologized to me, but it didn't bother me! They're noobs so it didn't surprise me. I actually thought it was kinda funny. In my own demented, twisted way! :-D

My back doesn't though. :cross:
Nice job!! I've not been a fanfic hardwood floors, but those look so nice, I'm coming around!
Mechanical Engineer doing HVAC design in new and existing buildings. Thought I wouldn't like it when I accepted my first position but have since realized I love what I do. Essentially play with autocad and find ways to blow air. No pics. But if you are comfortable sitting at your desk, you have someone like me to thank. If not, blame the contractor for installing it wrong.

Not trying to split hairs here, but I thought they are "graders"?

I work in the production brewery for a national restaurant chain. BJ's Restaurant & Brewery.
Very true, it moves dirt not cheese, or veggies.
