BigAngus752 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Hey, that's sharp! Do NOT show that to my wife....I've got too many projects... 2 Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 6, 2019 Super User Posted January 6, 2019 Beautiful craftsmanship. Congrats on creating an outstanding product. All I can suggest is that you write down all of the dates, names, and details of the project so future family generations will know what you did making the items more valuable to your relatives. This was suggested to me by an antiques dealer in Philadelphia back in the 70's and I have 3x5 cards taped to the back of a lot of furniture in our house so when my daughter-in-law throws it away after we croak at least she will know about its history. But that is another touchy subject we will not dwell on at this time. 1 Quote

I did make a list of very piece of the project, as it either came from the old original house or the barn on our property, and of course I had to remind them of the two old batchlers that lived her forever. we always teased the kids that any time we heard an unexplained noise or something the it was there ghost running around. . so I did put nails and screws from the original wood work or doors in a jar and told them that there spirit would always be with them!!?
