Woodworking

Good job Chris.

You should see the cabinet I made in High school.

When it came time to grade it, shop teacher said.....well, it's made of wood.

I'd say "frig yea!!!"

A bowl I made for my future daughter inlaw. She likes handmade stuff. My son proposed to her under the big star in Roanoke so it will have sentimental value to her. I did my best, tried anyway.




ETA: pix went sideways, sorry...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Very nice!

 

[Fiddler]

Cool Bowl!

 

[BlackSmith]

Thanks,I really don't have a clue what I'm doing, wood isn't my thing.

 

[sotc]

Looks intricate to me!

That bowl steered this thread away from my Cub Scout birdhouse vibe back into pro mode!

 

[BlackSmith]

Stacked and segmented bowls are stupid simple. If not I couldn't do'em. Got my basket weaving merit badge too. I have a lot of walnut to butcher on.

ETA: posting a pic should be as easy... heh

 

[sotc]

Thanks, thanks a lot, make me feel even worse

Impressive Bob. Nice work.

 

[BlackSmith]

It's just goofy chit, isn't like real wood working. Old wore out scrollsaw and a bushel of blades and bandaids and you're good to go.

Basket weaving is like broom making. Very useful goods.

 

[BlackSmith]

These baskets aren't woven Jay. The whole basket is cut from a single board then assembled. Kinda Bob proof.

 

[stehansen]

Impressive!

 

[Raj]

Nice!

 

[SeanKroll]

Whoa!

 

[BlackSmith]

Y'all too easy...

 

[woodworkingboy]

Interesting approach, Bob. Hope the end grain lengths hold up for you.

 

[BlackSmith]

Look at the pictures of the two pine baskets Jay, at the top you can see I lap jointed two pieces of wood at the ends so the grain of the wood I added runs perpendicular to the grain of the main board. Those "weavers" are only 1/16" thick, the end grain wouldn't even hold together long enough to be cut.

So I've fallen in love with woodworking. Been buying tools and scored a few for free. Got a drill press and this radial arm saw for free. It's old but it's hardly used and it's when Craftsman was pro-ish grade.
Made the kids this shooting bench and have taken up making things in the evenings.

I need make one of those as well. I found a perfect 200 yard spot on my hill I need to set one in... little shady spot not far from the driveway and my lower pasture gate road. Nice job Chris.

Weird, wife informed me last week she needs a new shooting bench.

 

[pantheraba]

Good work there, Chris...cool the kids are shooting.
