What We're Making

^^^ First of more to come!

I took some wood that came as the pallet for the sauna kit, ran it through the jointer, glued it up and managed to get 3 little "not too ugly" shelves made. Today I fastened them on the wall.

I'm going to put in an outlet near the switch so I can plug in my phone. The switch turns on powered speakers in this room and the sauna, and turns on the Bluetooth receiver.

Yes, made from a used wine barrel during a recent warm spell. Another to be made time/temperature willing, the week of the 31st.

That's a great looking chair and very creative of you to make it. I wish I had that skill (working with wood).

Made another wood toolbox - this one as a gift, quarter sawn white oak, wipe on poly.

Then brought in a few of my others for a photo op. 3 of these are Gerstner chests that I didn’t make.

Thanks - I also got 4 knife blanks to add handles to. got 2 done - bocote and I think spalted maple, hackberry, or sycamore. Other 2 will be mesquite I just picked up in Az. Then I’ll gift the box with 1 knife.

Someday I may attempt a knife from scratch as you do.

More final assembly than making, but two guitar kits I’ve done, a 12 string Strat style, and a 1960 Les Paul Jr. With a little overdrive, that LP Jr has a nice snarl.

Next to it is a 5w class A amp I got from the dust bin at Guitar Center. Five watts is way louder than one would think. Luckily it has a 1w and 0.5w attenuator built in.

^^Finally, the sibling to chair #1. Staves were a little different, so not totally identical. Fun project!
