Accident
« on: January 20, 2011, 01:27:30 am »
This was a disaster, my 5th nativity cross and no problems until this one I was trying to do too many things at once and left the belt sander on turned around and whack the corner of the cross hit the belt and this is the result, one piece is missing but there is to many chips on the breaks to repair. oh well 2 hour work on the saw down the gurgler

Jimbo...don't panic!

Cut loose all the pieces and sell them as parts of a Nativity SET!
Even if you have to glue a little base plate on them!

Oh boy, can I relate.  I should have taken pictures of my train wreck.  G.B. had a creative idea.

Not being 'creative'....

Just too damn 'tight' to throw that much cutting into the "Designer Firewood Box"!
Pieces would make a nice 'small gift' for someone next Christmas, maybe like for an "ORNAMENT EXCHANGE"

It's very discouraging when it happens Jimbo, I am sure we have all been there, but I think GB has a solution.

Yes, it does happen to all of us at one time or another. It really is discouraging when that happens. Do not let it throw you.

Oh well Jimbo, been there done that.
Like GB said it can be saved, but in a different way.

Is that Cedar, thought it was Rimu but the grain looks wrong.

 I think that parts of your cross can be salvaged like what has been suggested.  I just Shattered a cross sanding it on the mop.  Mine was a lot simpler and was only good for toothpicks  Oh Well stuff happens  ;D

Man thats tough Jimbo. When I was cutting projects for my December Wood Art show I knocked over my drying rack. Four projects crashed onto the ground.Two completely destroyed, one was salvaged, and the forth is sitting on my bench as a reminder!

Could you get all parts?

Glue them. Sand them firmly afterwards. Apply oil. Nobody will notice.
