The embryonic stage of a classic six board chest.
Three year olds don't care about woodworking. I make a nameplate for a co-worker. I also make a napkin holder.
I made a thing in one afternoon! It's a wine caddy. Now I can hold a bottle of wine and two glasses with one hand, freeing up my other hand to do all kinds of activities.
A lack of direction leads to dovetails and carving.
I suddenly need a shooting board, so I build one out of twelve inch wide mahogany.
I cut and fit my first half blind dovetails for the Shaker inspired serving tray.
I put my apprentice through the paces on dimensioning stock for the next serving tray.
Recap and stock prep for a run of cherry coozies.
Recap of all the glorious work I have done.
I finish the staked saw bench and start to make a pizza peel.
I launch an Etsy shop and mangle my draw knife.
I finish reaming the mortises and fit up one leg.
I sort out the top and ream a mortis, maybe.
I make cauls and dimensions stock.
I get sharp and cut myself and dimension some stock.
I work on updating our 6 foot ruler and finish a coozie.
I tack up the latest bend, proving the latest method.
I try to review what I have been doing and bend another coozie. Then I just screw around.
First shop time since Christmas. New toys!
I bent the sides yesterday and came sooo close to finishing up today.
