Not sure how I feel about those the Herringbone kits considering the work involved in doing it the hard way.

and people wonder why some don't want to show their work..

I thought Constant was supplying them. It has the exact same boxing as he sends. I could be wrong as well.

It sure looks like constant's kits, I've done several of them including the Masonic kit.
Good for Constant, glad to see him making a huge go of his work!!

What, painstakingly severing the pieces with a searing hot laser isn't the hard way?! :wink::biggrin:

The ones at the Woodcraft here in town have had them for a little while. I just assumed they were his. They actually have the same plastic container that he sends them in.

Looks like Constant's kits to me. Those guys don't usually do exact copies of each other.

For those who are wondering, those are my kits.

I am use to it, starting at 5:00 am until 6 or 7 pm in the evenings.
Also Saturdays and some Sundays.

Constant's Herringbones

I've made 10 of the pens and I've come up with a fairly easy way to assemble the kits with the end crown that Constant supplies with the kit.

See attached pdf file.

Dang Constant - next thing I know you will be building a multi-story building and going to the bank with a wheelbarrow!!!! Congratulations. Well deserved.

Constant does great work. Have done several of the laser kits for the larger rollerballs & have many of the Sierra on hand. The precision cuts are great, but one of things I like best is that his stabilization of the colored woods eliminates any bleeding of the colors. Have done several of the Texas flag kits and never had the red or blue bleed onto the holly. :biggrin:

I have done a couple of his kits and they are easy to work with. Constant even customized one for me with a minor change to make a Greek Flag like I wanted it. I did have one break yesterday, but I think I pushed too hard when inserting the flag pieces and cracked the main piece. It blew apart on the lathe.

So far I have done the Greek Flag, Fleur' de lis, football (go Pats), and double cross.
I need to order a replacement Greek flag once I finish the other two that I have.

That ain't fair! My fingers are still cramped from building 2 prior to the new end crown...!

Forgive my ignorance, what is an End Crown?
