Woodworking again

[GTsetGO]

Well, it's been a while since i built my humidor (some might remember the thread). SO i figured that i would put my newly found skills to use and make xmas presents for people this year.

beautiful work!

[Fordman4ever]

Time to resurrect this thread. I'm starting to get into woodworking and thought this would be a good place to get some tips and tricks.

A while back a buddy of mine gave me some lumber that was just hanging out in his garage when he bought the house. The previous owner said that the wood was close to 100 years old. anyways, i had no idea what I would do with it because it looked pretty bad. today I decided to run a couple pieces through the planer and see what happened. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased.

Before:

and here's a small piece that I cut off the end:
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m626/Earl_McCoy/20130617_182927_zps83e3c9fc.jpg (http://s1135.photobucket.com/user/Earl_McCoy/media/20130617_182927_zps83e3c9fc.jpg.html)

I still have no idea what to do with it. I'm sure I'll think of something.

[Fordman4ever]

Also, not really a hard project, but I'm making a magnetic bottle opener to put in my squadron's bar. I used a piece of red oak and stained it red mahogany. I'll be routing out a hole in the back of the wood towards the bottom and putting a magnet in it, a pretty powerful one. When you open the bottle and pull it away, the cap falls and gets caught by the magnet.

I might also use a piece of that really old wood.

nice.

that wood cleaned up nicely

[Fordman4ever]

Just put up the bottle opener and cap catcher that I built.

I decided to make my daughter a water toy table.

The wife thought the sides weren't high enough so I just put some plywood strips in and it actually made the container fit a lot better.

I hit it with a coat of water sealer and I'm going to paint it and clear coat it this weekend.

[Fordman4ever]

Got it all painted up and clear coated.

I have no talent ........

[deadrise]

Looks great rob!!!

[Fordman4ever]

Sweet. I've been on the lookout for a nice lathe on craigslist.

[GTsetGO]

[shilala]

Beautiful.
I don't have the dexterity to turn pens. But I've wanted to add an indexer (lathe) to my CNC machine since I got it. There's so much you can do in making balusters and ormanent in the round. It's super cool. :tu

[Fordman4ever]

Looking good

Currently working on a corner cabinet for the kitchen.

Nice work.

[weems]

What the hell Rob? Hook a brother up with a sample! You know, for reviewing purposes...... :D

[Lovenced]

Makita LS1221 12-Inch Compound Miter Saw is the best well-known miter saw brand (http://www..net/) as known to me so far..It has powerful 15.0 AMP motor delivers 4,000 RPM.. It is strong square and very powerful .The cut was perfect, right out of the box, and continues to be so even now. The blade was a better quality than what I thought would be on it and it still gives me the cleanest miter cuts I've ever seen.

[hammondc]

What sort of joinery did you use to fasten the shelves to the back spine of that corner cabinet?

Also, I don't see any edge voids. Is that solid wood or a veneered ply?

[Fordman4ever]

i used screw and glue. It's all solid wood except for the bead board i used for the sides.

[Fordman4ever]

Nice work.

Does anyone here have any Japanese woodworking tools? I just got back from a TDY there and I picked up a Gyokucho razor saw. It's a Japanese pull saw and they are a lot cheaper if you buy them in Japan.

http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxNjAw/z/2swAAOSwq5lTrWyo/$_57.JPG

These are $45 on Amazon and I picked mine up for $28 with an extra blade.

[shilala]

I have a two-sided one like that, Earl. I have one with a had back like yours, too.
The one I use most is a folding one that'd put you in the mind of a felco pruning saw. The blade is a little thicker and stiffer.
I just use them for notching and cutting tabbed parts out of sheets.
Love em. :tu

[GTsetGO]

love those saws. My father in law has one and I will be picking one up at some point in time.

[ArgusP2]

Do carving count?

I really like the way it turned out but I'm really glad it's over and done with.

[ArgusP2]

Very nice!

[Dave128]

Looks really nice!

[Fordman4ever]

Thanks. Now that this project is complete I have to choose something else to do from the long honey do list. I think the next thing I build is going to be some sort of holder for all of my wife's essential oil bottles. Those things are all over my house.

I still need to poly the bar rails and pour the 2 part epoxy on the top.

[Dave128]

That looks sweet.

That's awesome! we build up a bar in my garage similar to that but not as nice way back when, it's awesome having one in the house :tu
