I have so much invested in compressors and air tools, that I can't justify the $$, but they are tres cool.
You're crazy. That gun doesn't look anything like Tre Cool or multiples of him.

Great, Scott! Super pro design/build. Got it all, ogees, crowns, dentils, flutes, rosettes.
Can I spec stuff out and just send it to you to make?
And, in New Orleans, isn't a wet bar a redundancy?

Great looking work around the fireplace Scott. Nicely done! To bring things back to a more basic level, I am halfway done a pergola on my deck. Here's a pic of some basic 2x4 construction:  The boards running perpendicular overhead will be added later this week or next weekend. While it's pretty low tech I am happy with the way it's shaping up so far. Cheers,

With the assistance of many pneumatic and electric tools, I just finished building a mantel for the fireplace in our living room. Mrs. Classic has been bugging for years for the thing and I finally caved. I'm having trouble with posting pics directly from our Mac site, so if anyone (ahem, ... Peter...) can help educate me in this regard, I'd appreciate it. Any way, here is the link to the site. Only 3 pics to scroll thru... I quite like the flooring. What kind of wood is that? in this thread about getting wood...

Hi Chess!
It's Bellawood's Santos Mahogany sourced from Lumber Liquidators. This is the 3/8" thick solid t&g. Very hard and therefore brittle - carfeful nailing required. Also, allow a couple of extra weeks to acclimate. We wound up with bad cupping and a few blow outs due to the expansion. All in all I'd do it again without hesitation - but I'd also let it get happy in my humid garage for a couple of weeks before installing.
