Present for the wife's upcoming birthday. Black walnut journal holder. Designed to sit on the library shelf between other books; can be laid on it's side if desired.

Cool!

 

[colt zantop]

those pumps are very cool! nice work!

 

[superdutymike27]

I enjoy doing it and someday they will end up in the garage when it's done. I would like to recreate an old service station in my garage one day just on a smaller scale.

I was finishing a Oak Plywood Cabinet for my Wife.
Our Thought was to have a Piece of Dark Granite Cut and installed on top.
But, I got a little more creative...
Cut and Installed Slate Tiles, used a Darker Gray Grout.
Trimmed it out with Red Oak.
Used 5/8" Plywood for a Back Splash, routered out the center so that the Tile and Oak Trim would wind up level.
Set and Grout the Tile, so the Grout lines all Matched.
Sealed everything and trimmed it out with Red Oak.
Added Gray Outlets on each end with Oak Plates.
Now I am Trimming out the Rest of the Cabinet with Oak and Need to stain and seal.
I picked up some old Vintage Hardware from the Flee Market, so Once its complete, I will add another Photo.
She Loves it.

Jewelry box for the wife.

Just picked up a bunch of red oak today for some end tables.

 

[Alchymist]

Jewelry box for the wife.

Nice! How did you do the inlay?

 

[JMartel]

Just cut some thin strips of curly maple and walnut. Glued them up, then made a border around the center walnut section. The outer edges are the sides of the box. Glue it up so it's a completely sealed box with no lid. Then cut the lid off with the table saw.

You can't really see it from that photo, but the top is beveled with an 8 degree angle all around it and then sanded the edges smooth.

You need to switch to the woodwork forum, I do cars and wood too.

What is the name of the woodworking forum? I am getting ready to do a lot of woodworking for my interior trim, cabinets and furniture in my new building office.

 

[64dragnwagon]

I have a question for you woodworkers, I need to learn how to make these type of joints. I have a router table and a 24 piece set of router bits and have a pretty good knowledge of woodworking. I am assuming that you need a traditional bit like a roman ogee and another bit that is a reverse pattern of the other to make them fit together. The problem is I have searched quite a bit and have not found anything like this available. Please give me a clue where I can get a set, or if I am wrong please set me straight. Thanks

Search for "cope and stick", its usually done with a Shaper, but you can get
router bits for this also.

You need a cabinet door set, or as stated they are typically called "cope and stick", or rail and stile. You will also need a router table.

Re: Show is your wood projects

All of my iron balusters came from this place:
http://www.kingmetals.com/

Here is a shot of the upper end of the stairway:

Note, this was before the balusters were glued in and the collars installed around them.

I love King Metals!! Built many projects from their stuff.. Nice staircase!

That's a good one. www.woodworkingtalk.com is another good one as well.

Thanks, I have a router table. I found rail and stile bits but I don't need the groove for the panel to sit in. I will try cope and stick. I am going to use it to make stiles for wood wall paneling.

 

[joe6749]

I am sure there is a new yankee workshop show that would show you how to make Cope and stick joints.

Here is a recent and continuing project.

Ripping to width.

Gluing up one side.

Initial flattening.

Its going to be a specialized joinery bench with a twin screw vise as well as a smallish wagon vise for a tail vise. Using only hand tools.

I see blisters in your future!

 

[JMartel]

What's that on the top of the board in the ripping photo? Something to keep the kerf open?

Is this in your living room?

 

[machine_punk]

I really like the aesthetics of that table...I've always like heavy wood next to metal. Cool.

Yes. The SYP I was using wanted to spring back on the kerf. That is a CMan screwdriver holding it open.

Is this in your living room?

It WAS in my living room. LOML and I had to live in an 800 sq ft apartment for a year while we were closing on a house. Now I live here.

No garage, but it is in the works. In the meantime there are two (count 'em) two living rooms in this place so one of them got turned into a handtool only woodshop. So technically, I am still building wood projects in my living room. Yeah, she is understanding.

Keep on building.

Turned this out yesterday, got a coat of finish on it today.

Shark's vertebrae cane or walking stick.

I've seen a few antique ones. They can be kinda pricey.

Interesting. what's that made out of?

 

[RivennHewn]

Dried shark's vertebrae.

The knob is Buckeye Burl with mother of pearl in the center.

 

[hypnotoad]

the workmanship looks great wish I could say the same for the walnut. the shop I work in would send that **** back .to much light colored sap wood.

Nice way to post a compliment......sheesh.

My Split Top Roubo Woodworking Bench.

Made with Solid Ash, Bubingua and Pecan. Leg Vise and Wagon Vise utilize Benchcrafted Hardware. Not pictured but on the back side is a Veritas Pattern Makers Vise. Finsih is Tung Oil

This is a Knife Display Case I made using Birds Eye Maple and Bubingua. The knives are a matched set Bowie and Arkansas Toothpick. Both feature damascus steel blades, mastadon ivory handles, and mulkamay hilts.

Cabinet I made out of solid Zebrawood.

 

[Alchymist]

That is some NICE work right there!

 

[rslaback]

This is a rocking horse I made 7 years ago for my son's first birthday. I have always hated 1 dimensional wooden rocking horses so this was perfect for me.

The two outside pics were taken this morning. The pj picture was on his birthday and the cowboy was taken at about age 15 months. You probably don't need to see the 15 month picture, but I am a dad and I love that picture.

 

[Carguy99]

framed out the new windows. The installers did an awful job I had to redo it. I think it came out much better. Now 15 more to go.

 

[Alchymist]

Tried something different - I call it electric wormwood. Did a test panel, thinking of using it for drawer fronts, raised panels, etc. Perhaps even picture frames.
