Saw marks. Below is a definition of saw marks. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of articles describing how to get rid of saw marks on old lumber or furniture. I do not want to get rid of these saw marks, I want to acknowledge them and appreciate them. You might be thinking, what a funny topic for me to bring up.
Today, as I looked at saw marks on old lumber, tears came to my eyes. You see, I have multiple sets of drawers and cubbies that were built by my grandfather, Joe.
Over the years my Grandpa built several homes. I do not remember being inside any of them. I do however, remember driving by 3 of them he built on Tyson Lane in Fremont, CA. My Grandpa was hard working, soft spoken, kind, brilliant and musically gifted; he could pick up any instrument and play. He could play any tune or song by ear. My grandfather's family was from Portugal, and quite possibly were looked down on for being migrants (legal migrants) and farm workers. My grandpa Joe, took the skills of a farm laborer, and bought land, planted crops and raised a family. My grandparents were wise with their money, hard working and dedicated. Grandpa, with some help from my dad, who was a boy at the time, built a home, moved into that one and built another until they had built "the big house" on Tyson Lane. During the construction phase, Grandpa built these drawers and cubbies, to hold, plumbing parts, electrical parts and many, many lag bolts (I still have some of them). These drawers and cubbies were built out of necessity. You didn't just run to Home Depot to grab what you needed for the day. You had to be prepared and organized. After Grandpa Joe passed away, my dad inherited the drawers and cubbies, which he used at times in our own garage and at times in his automotive shop.
As the years passed by, I always had such a special place in my heart for these drawers and cubbies. I inherited them a few years ago.
Recently, I have been setting up my workshop and decided to do a little clean up and touch up on the drawers and cubbies. There were 2 colors of faded paint on these, a grey and a mint green (very faint). My grandfather had numbered them and my dad had written words on many of them; ie. AC parts, carb parts, speedo cables, fuses, etc. To honor both my grandfather and my father, I left the numbers and the words and only lightly touched them with paint. I did paint the insides of the cubbies and added my tools, my supplies and my dreams to these drawers and cubbies. As I look at the saw marks on the lumber, I think of the man, whose name, Joseph, has been shared now for 5 generations, whose vision was brought to fruition and whose strong and gentle hands put saw marks on this lumber. Thank you Grandpa Joe, for giving, for sharing, and for teaching what living and loving is all about! I look forward to kissing your face when I get to heaven, but in the meantime, I will admire the saw marks you left behind!

Covid-19 quarantine honey do list: #1 - finish paint and trim in living room Running out some 5 1/4" base moulding for the living room. Finally got the walls painted yesterday. Now I've got to run this molding thru the Craftsman/King-Seeley shaper, skip plane it to leave in the saw marks, stain it, then install. #georgiawoodworker #southernwoodworkers #roughsawn #roughcut #sawmarks #rustic #kingseeley #craftsmantools #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QLZTeFCgb/?igshid=7ajy81wdpboh

Cabin update:  I prepped the bathroom posts and beam and applied two coats of a UV resistant epoxy, I intentionally left the sawmarks to give them more texture and character.  I am pretty happy with the level of protection but I may add a satin topcoat at some point as the gloss is a bit much for my taste.  Today I finished the glass framework and ran the bathroom vent duct.  I am currently debating sanding the rest of the post and beam frame a bit or leaving it rough, I like the rough look but I am concerned it will collect dirt and scrape/splinter anyone who brushes against it.  Also included is a better picture of the small deck.

We made this table using 200 year old reclaimed oak. The centerpiece is engraved then filled with epoxy resin. The boards that make up the top were floor joists from an old barn we salvaged earlier this year. You can still see the sawmarks that were created when the boards were originally milled out before the barn was even built. We work to try and retain some of those those features so the story isn't lost. (at Bear Wood Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVaMLxMO3f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Custom furniture piece complete and picked up by a nice couple from the Riverdale area of Toronto. This is a entranceway bench with a small shelf where cellphones can be placed for charging. We used some nicely sawmarked reclaimed barn floor boards that we sanded and clear coated. The steel and pipe legs and supports give it a nice industrial look.

How to Cut Small Slate Tiles
There are a variety of ways to cut small slate tiles but the process will be made easier with the use of the right tools and equipment. Observe proper safety precautions when using power tools to cut small slate tiles.
What you'll need
Slate cutter
Thin snips
Pencil straightedge
Masonry table
Portable circular saw
Safety goggles
Step 1 – Cut Small Slate Tiles with Slate CutterWear safety goggles to protect your eyes during the entire procedure. Use a pencil and a straightedge to mark a line on the back of the slate tiles. Place the slate tile on the slate cutter and lower the handle to cut a straight line. You may use tin snips to create curves or small cuts on small pieces of slate tiles.
Step 2 – Cut Slate Tiles with Circular SawMark a straight line on the back of the slate tiles with a pencil. Place the slate tile on the masonry table and use a circular saw or angle grinder (with a diamond edged blade) to cut through the straight line. Never use a hack saw to cut slate tiles as this will result in poor quality tile cuts.Take extra care when handling power tools and observe proper safety procedures when working with cutting equipment.

New planer stand, check. Sharpen planer knives, check. Joint and thickness some SYP for a new interior door, check. Now, the great debate...dowels or biscuits for the glue up????? Since I have plenty of dowels and very few biscuits left, it will end up with dowels for alignment. #woodworking #southernyellowpine #southernwoodworkers #georgiawoodworker #interiordoors #sawmarks (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XRhJ1Fdbs/?igshid=1ccd6vi3q46gt

The concrete wall, the sawmarks E. oak floor, the natural feeling given by the warm light source, and the artistic atmosphere of black and white decorative painting make the gray high-end style more seductive. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSL99tmLmko/?utm_medium=tumblr
