That looks really good. Do you have any pictures of the drawers?

I'll have to give it a try. David J Marks used to have a woodworking TV show that I would watch when I was starting out and he used it for everything.

Looks really good. How do you like the tung oil?

Thank you. This was a test for a couple projects I had upcoming. I was going to be adding the maloof joints to a desk and the weaving to a set of stools. After weaving this I decided not to do the stools. It was way more work than I anticipated. I did finish the desk, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Maple burl and wenge box with brusso hardware, flocking lining, and Osmo PolyX finish.

 

Small birdseye maple and wenge dovetailed box I made about six months ago. This was my first attempt at a wooden hinge.

Sorry, no I don’t.

I used to sell stuff but had to many bad experiences with buyers so now I just give stuff away to friends and family. I don't have a spot for this so I'll probably give it away as well.

I have been doing it as a hobby for about 20 years or so.

Its hard to say because I picked away at it between a couple other projects. Just guessing, maybe 15 hours at the most.

No, it was actually pretty simple and didn't take that long. It looks complex because of the curves but if you draw out a full sized template then it's pretty easy.

Raised dog bed made out of ash with maloof joints for the legs. I have a blanket and dog pillow that sits on top for added comfort.

Large memory box I made for a friend a couple years ago. Maple and walnut with inlaid dovetails. Finish was a wipe on danish oil blend.

Rules:

Now that we have grown to over 400 people and it looks like this might take off we should start looking at what kind of forum we want this to turn into. We will obviously have the usual rules about harassment and inappropriate comments, but beyond that I think everyone should have a say.

A few questions to get people thinking:

  • How broad of a forum do we want? Do we want to allow topics that show house framing or projects made only on a laser cutter?
  • Do we lock posts that contain sensitive topics from comments like guns, religion, flags? If so what is the lock list?
  • Do we allow self promotion posts from individuals trying to sell their items? If so do we limit the number of posts they can make?
  • Do we allow posts from companies as long as they are labelled as such?
  • Should there be a process to remove a mod or the magazine owner if the community is not happy with them? What would that look like?
  • What other rules should we add or not add?

I made this mountain shelf about three years ago when they were all the rage. It's made out of walnut, ambrosia maple, and paduak. I can't remember what finish I used, but it was some sort of wipe on finish and I was not impressed with it.

 

Made this table for my mother who wanted something narrow to put her plants on. Traditional soap finish on ash.

 

Made this shelf awhile ago out of ash and walnut. Knapp joints on the drawer and a shellac finish.

 

Bluetooth speaker I made out of Maple, Wenge, and Zebrawood with shellac finish.
