and ... just for the record ... yes I'm aware I have a serious "finishing" problem haha. I'm addicted to the initial cut-shape-grind-dome-glue stages but I hate chasing scratches and the monotony of the polishing stages so WIP tends to pile up on me pretty fast.
I'm also aware that I could have taken the "shotgun" approach and filled up the board with holes as some of you suspected I did based on your guesses - but do you know how hard it is to drill all these holes by hand without a drill-press??? haha. Drill them twice actually - I draw out the grid then drill a small pilot hole before drilling the big hole.

Don't get me wrong - love wood way better than plastic. I've used the suspended lighting grates a couple times to keep tools in that size range organized and handy. Also a good surface to work on as small debris can fall through and not get in the way. Since your rack is already full, thought you might need to construct a quick overflow rack  Nice rocks. ![]()

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you all, Mondays I go to my Dad's. Thank you everyone Pat, captbob. Poor Bill orrum, an also ran - again!I'm working on taking all of Tommy 's rocks away, one contest at a time, lol. Used that dang math again, once I knew what Tommy was after. There were only a finite number of choices, once it got pared down, I needed to stay on top of it, lest someone grab that winning number ahead of me. Thanks for the game again, Tommy. Just hang onto my address for awhile. Ha! |

Thanks for the game again, Tommy. Just hang onto my address for awhile. Ha! Good job Jean - I had your address at my fingertips already so your package has already shipped out this morning  I'll have to come up with a "random" no-math game like "guess how many spots I saw on a cow while walking this morning..." and give orrum a fighting chance |

but seeing that picture I’m impressed
by how many dopped cabs can fit on that birch board.
Plus, that one serious amount of fine worked * stones
real surprised you didn’t use a drill press
that was going to be my next question ha!

Usually I have 4 legs. The real one and 3 artificial ones. One to swim and shower on the road with, at home I have a shower chair . One to ride horses, it has 15 degrees rotation in ether direction so the stirrup hangs naturally. Then the workhorse of a leg, it's on me all dsy and takes a beating!

Received my prize from Tommy today! Wow, how quick he is to part with his slabs, lol.
Here's a pic of the swag 
I have realized your ulterior motive - you want me to break out my flat lap and get back to it! Yeah, I want to. This is excellent motivation.
Thanks again for the game and the prize, Tommy!
