May 19, 20179 yr Popular Post Spent weekdays this week babysitting grandkids at my daughter's house. Not much else to do while nap time and rain. Hard to look around without seeing something I've built. Here's a few examples. Coaster set with foray into hand-cut dovetails. One of my first woodworking projects was one of these with butt joints. Decided to revisit and make with dovetails for each of the kids. (cherry) Step stool that converts into bench, plan from PopWood (cherry) Bathroom linen cabinet #1 (poplar and ply, stained espresso to match existing cabinets) Jewelry box and necklace stands (walnut and re-sawn & bookmatched maple) Tow Mater adapted from Adirondack chair plan (poplar) Bathroom cabinet #2 (poplar and ply) Rocking horse (ash) Wall rack for grand-daughter nicknamed "cupcake" (qs red oak) Master BR dressers (ash) Master bedroom headboard and nightstands (ash) Entryway bench / storage box (red oak and ply) Platform beds for grand-sons (hard maple) Box o' building blocks (hard maple) Knick-knack shelf, actually made by daughter when she was 11 years old (butternut) Candle holders made for their wedding (maple & walnut) Keepsake box made as HS graduation gift (from Sycamore HS, so made from qs sycamore & cherry) Shadow box holding wedding bouquet (mahogany) Shaker basket and sewing box (she made some #2 boxes when she was 12 and they're on the entertainment center, not shown) (cherry & ash)
