  • Friday December 1st 2023-Whats on Your Weekend Agenda?

    December already?     Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend, it depends on what Mother Nature decides to throw our way. Probably won't get much done, I've been dealing with an upper respiratory infection that has me slowed way down.  Did manage to get that pile of firewood moved and stacked, took two days to do what should have taken about four hours.    That's about it for here, What's on Your Weekend Agenda?

    Advice sought

    My grandson, who is 8 and lives 750 miles away, loves my CNC machine and spends most of his time with me and it whenever he visits.  So I figured maybe get him started with a scroll saw.  I have his dad's (my son) Delta from 30 years ago here, but it needs basically the whole blade thing that extends off the arm.  Now, am I better off trying to get that one fixed (and who do i call) or just buy a new cheap, I mean budget friendly, one to see if he takes to it.  And if so, what would be a good be

    Time for some Christmas presents

    I’m getting a late start this year but it’s time to make some Christmas presents. First on the block is a movie poster which I am building a frame for. It’s for my daughter. It’s a movie poster for Roger Rabbit that is signed by all the artists involved with the movie. I’m using sapelle and will probably be using a lot of it for the presents this year. I have a ton of scraps left over from making the doors.  Paul

    Education

    Education One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor. Research Do you love researching? Do you like to write about subjects in a factual non-biased style?

    • Sotheby's Guide to American Furniture
      Lately (last year or so) I have had a penchant and thirst for knowledge on a more academic level, for anything related to woodworking and the items made from wood, and the tools and process's used to make wood items. This quest for knowledge has come from my own desire to build a woodworkers wiki, where all can enter the wiki, and open edit and collaborate, and contribute to the knowledge base.

    • Mission Style Chest-of-drawers - 1
      I started the build of the mission style chest-of-drawers with QSWO for the primary and poplar for the secondary wood.   The drawers will rest on under-mount soft closed drawer slides.  My wife wanted 3 drawers behind the door.  The door will have the same motif as the nightstand and the bed.  I am not certain if the motif will be applied on the lower drawers.  I hope to finish the corbels and route the mortises, into the four legs, for the twin tenons next week.  The drawer heights are (4) 6", (1) 7", and (1) 8".    Danl

       
      I use my shop-made-mortising jig to route the mortises into the legs for the needed mortises for the sides.

       
      I use my shop-made tenoning jig to saw the tenon cheeks.

       
      Fits together the 1st dry fit as planned.

       
      The side panels were made from ½” book matched, solid wood.  Ripped sawn from 5/4 bd.
       
      The panels have a recess to allow for a 1/16" gap.  Thanks for looking.   Danl

    • Windsor Chair Repair (Steven Bunn)
      A friend of mine called me up and asked me if I could repair one of his Windsor chairs, and if I could come over and take a look. So to my surprise, it was the same chair I have always gravitated too whenever I am in his home. His home is one of those homes, where everything is beautiful, in an old way. He has an old fireplace area with 18th century cooking implements around it, he has several hand tool chests full of 18th century tools that are all matched and numbered from the previous 18th century owner, and if he has any late era furnishings, they are all hand made, such as this chair by maker Steven Bunn. His home is one big 18th century fantasy land full of furnishings and tools and collectibles and all sorts of things, I love visiting him.
