What We're Making

I have a Facebook account and I can't see it either.

Here is my very first kumiko project. I made three identical ones as Christmas gifts.

That is not viewable publicly (I can see Facebook posts from others). Check your settings.

And I'm curious, as I don't know what a "kumiko project" is. But if this is it, can I get on your Christmas list? (From Wikipedia: "Kumiko as she appears in The Karate Kid II"):

Apologies for the attempted Facebook link. I had to read the FAQ section and figure out how to upload images for this site. Here are the Kumiko boxes I made.

I love wooden boxes in general, but this one is great.

Finished up a couple more hiking sticks. Girls now get beads on their handle straps.

I like the variety of your skills. Nice work. I need to do more artsy stuff...

I had a leftover pc of walnut butcher block. Decided to do my first end grain and run it through the planer, slightly puckered... No problem this time. I was intimidated until watching a few videos... New blades probably helped a bit.

A friend needed a large cabinet for his bourbon. 48x16x38 with a tray top. I'll be adding a power Puck on the top right & pulls after delivering... Oak, stained ebony and semi clearcoat.

These were interesting to make. Fridge manufacturer actually gave good instructions on how to make a 3-layer door that slides into a channel trim. Nice when it works on the first try.

Surewhitey, Ronstar and Palmtree outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your work always look forward to it.

You've been busy, Surewhitey! All excellent as usual! I haven't done too many end grain cutting boards, but I suppose that the end grain is rough on the planer cutters.

Did you spray the stain on the bourbon cabinet? Looks superb!

I need to review paneled fridge fronts. We had our cabinets made by a cabinet shop, and the appliance supplier installed our paneled fridge front when they installed the appliances. The door handle has worked it's way a little loose. I didn't watch them install the panel, but I need to remove the panel trim and panel to get at the handle screws on the back of the panel.

I tend to agree with the planer blades. Just wanted to try it...

Stain was wipe on, then clear was sprayed.

If your panels are like these, you will likely have a trim pc on the long side that is screwed on. Take it off and it will slide out. Curious if that's the case as I have never done these before.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love keeping walnut unsteamed, as is the preference today. When I was on a board pile, it was steamed, as excessive sapwood was a defect.

More of a utility build. I dedicate a router to do just round over & wanted a removable top that attaches to the table saw & vacuum system.

Made it to also work with my 1/2" collet router if I was in a pinch for a door.

Whipped up a couple charcuterie boards from scraps. Added a little turquoise at the butt ends.

Beautiful work! I’ve got a mile of scraps, so I’ll be doing this too. What do you use for feet? I can’t find the perfect feet for mine.

Thanks - I get my feet at Woodcraft. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/...QFaxBVyQvFjLhUwqnh4aAn5zEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I use very similar from Amazon.

Playing around with leather - a pocketknife pocket slip - practicing to make some knife sheaths and other stuff.

+1 I'm blown away at the woodworking skill level of so many here. I am trying to revive a 25yr old Craftsman table saw to play with. I also have an old router, circular saw, and drill of the same age. I hope to learn a few basic skills at 74 yrs to at least make a simple step stool. Most of what I have been doing is spending hours on You Tube. It appears I need to make a few accessories for the power tools first if I can get everything running.

Cheers!

I'm beyond blown away. Amazing stuff!

Here's a perfect step stool for you. A vintage step ladder made by Putnam Rolling Ladder Co - mainly used by the telephone company. I made one - it was a fun project. I don't know if there are any plans out there - I kinda eyeballed it. Have fun!
