I’m sticking in a post about a project I made a while ago back in 2011 but forgot to post it here.
It’s an entrance bench that also serves as a fold out shoe rack. Red Oak with clear poly finish.

Here is an update of the cabinet. It’s almost finished, there a few more spots for some tools to add to my collection.
You might notice a few new additions. The cabinet itself is bare walnut at the moment, I didn’t oil it yet.



I’ve completed the pedestal table, Duncan Phyfe style. It’s maple with a brown aniline dye mixed with satin polyurethane. Single dovetailed drawer, claw feet caps. The pedestal was turned on a lathe.



Here are the two handtool cabinet boxes I was working on. Now I can put plane accessories etc. away. The fronts are from maple burl, the drawer parts are walnut.
Half blind dovetails for the fronts, through dovetails for the backs.



Back at ‘er. Another small #handtool cabinet box. It’s been a while since I’ve done dovetails but even with the time gone by it’s the tightest and quickest yet. #woodworking #walnut

Here’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, take a close up picture of a plane blade before and after sharpening.
It’s not perfect but the second picture with the microbevel is sharper than it was before.




Here is a small turned walnut textured box I made from a Lee Valley course taught by Steven Kennard from Nova Scotia.

I needed to trim many bolts to an odd length. This is how I did it using a scrap of wood, drill and a jig saw.
Here is a video I made when I build my saw bench. It’s a design my Tom Fidgen or The Unplugged Workshop.
