This handcrafted picture/lamp table is made from solid walnut. The table top measures at 16", the center leg is hand turned on the lathe and it has 3 claw feet. I used a medium walnut Danish oil on it with 3 coats of satin polyurethane on the top.1 point -
The Bandit gets a nice rack
steven newman reacted to steven newman for a topic
Had some scraps laying around (still) and wanted something to put a set of chisels in. Had some 1/2" plywood, drilled a few holes, then made a slot into each hole. Forstner bit and a scrollsaw. Power tools weren't done, just yet. Wanted to roundover the slots. Router table was still set up, so That is the $3 router, hanging from a $20 table. Ok, holder is started. Used a piece of barn wood fir to make the two sides, and cut a dado across in the middle. Just wide enough for the holder to slide in. Router bit? Ah, nope. Had an old school tool This is a Disston No.7. Seemed to make a few decent cuts. Knocked the waste out with a 3/8" chisel. Used a couple other chisels to cut a stopped dado at each end of the base. Base is a 1x4 scrap of pine. That "dado saw" cut it to length. Marked out where the stopped dados were to go, and chopped them out. Used a rebate plane to cut a rebate along the back side of the base. Base was about done, I did run the front edge on the router table. Now a bit of assembly work. Nails, glue, and a clamp While I had it clamped up, I nailed a back onto it. base did fit, but needed to be a bit flatter, to sit on a benchtop without falling over. Got out a handplane to dress the bottom flat Checking with a square until done. Some of the shavings were a might thin. That is a $1 jack plane. Ok, everything together? Time to "Load'em up!" another look.. Nothing real fancy, chisel wise. Just a means to organize them a bit, rather than just toss them in a drawer. Rack will go into Tool Chest #1, as soon as i can get in it...might have to build a stand for the router table?1 point -

This handcrafted night table is made from red oak. The legs are constructed from 4 pieces of 1x3, planed down to 3x3. The drawer is constructed by planning 1" boards down to 1/2 inch and I used half blind dovetails to join the corners. The face is made from 3/4 and routed for detail.1 point -
