Some days I think odd jobs are my specialty. I was asked to build this display table for this really really heavy rock! Carved with designs and in our local museum, there was concern it would fall over and hurt someone with its previous stand. Sitting on a 900lb swivel and held with set screws this should work well.

This is how the little chair turned out. The fabric suits the age of the chair. It is cleaned, solid and like new. The real fun is not damaging the original finish to take away from its age, always love a challenge.

Very happy with how this turned out. Pretty much a full day of weaving but the end result speaks for itself.

A quick video of the gramophone running after making the crank fit. These are fascinating machines, love the governor. Interesting tidbit, the term “balls to the wall” comes from the ball type governor running full tilt!

This was one of the records sent with the gramophone, sorry I have no idea who it is but there is something pretty unique about the way these old machines sound. Can you imagine hearing this for the first time? We take everything we have today for granted and I can only imagine the excitement of having this in your home and being able to listen to music from a machine 😳😊
