Woodworking / Furniture Building

[KEV]

Been working on a dry bar cabinet. Was lax so I don’t have progress pics but here it is in its current state. It’s getting a drop front up top and sliding bypass doors on the bottom. Upper left will get some racks to hang stemmed glasses:

Very nice work!

 

[JohnSinVA]

Nice! When you say "drop front" does that mean the top cover panel will drop down to become a shelf?

Yes. If you look at the shelf supporting the drawer I have mortises for the hinges.

Did you cut it in half?

 

[JohnSinVA]

Did you cut it in half?

No, I ripped it in half

It’s upside down but you can see the drop front in place.

More progress. Once I get finish on the inside I’ll get the back panel on and wrap this thing up.

I used some of the wood that JohnSinVA sent me to make this. It was made for my Uncle. I sent it to him last week as a gift for Vietnam Veterans Day. I cut and planed both pieces down to 1/4 inch and used the scroll saw to cut everything out. I've been doing a lot of scroll saw work lately.

I finally got around to restoring these hand planes that I have had for years. They are all made in the USA Stanley and Bailey Planes

so for the first time in about 10 years, I built a piece of furniture, it was fun! it is for the garage, it's a bit rough, but I like it, I might actually do some more now that I have some storage to clean some space

Here is a picture. The drawers were hard to fit since the floor is severely slanted and I wanted to keep it on wheels

Nice work! Making stuff always feels good!

I just recently realized that it has been almost Six years since I finished my last rocking chair, so I figured it was time to do another one. I didn’t take any pictures of stock prep or layout, but everything is cut from 8/4 maple and a bit of walnut:

The back legs and crest rail. The crest rail is made by coopering smaller pieces together rather than cutting a curve out of thick stock. The front legs are currently just square billets right now. They will get cut to shape after they are sized to join the seat.

The splats for the back begin life as for thin strips of wood. The walnut strip will face the back of the chair and provide some visual interest. The strips will get laminated using a form to provide the shape:

Gluing up the laminations is sort of like making lasagna. Some sauce on the noodle:

Then add another noodle:

Once the stack is together it goes into the form:

Then gets the daylights clamped out of it:

When everything dries and sets up, the splats will be ready for cleanup and final shaping:

3 down, five to go

My last major project was a doll house I built with my daughter for my daughter for Chirstmas. It is a custom house, I took elements she wanted from 3 different houses and created my own unique house. Here are some Christmas morning pics:




I am starting a coffee table for my mother this weekend.

That's pretty damn good there buddy! Maybe you should just stick to that instead of golf ... you're much better at it! HA! :act-up:

Excellent work, love the walnut...

Did you get that coffee table underway?
