Cool, seems like you are in it for the long haul. Soon you’ll have to remove “future” from your tag! Looks like you raise the bar for each project. That’s a good approach. Now for safety advice :) I notice in the photo of you ripping on the table saw that the board is slightly cupped and positioned like an upright “U”. It should really be flipped end for end so the “U” is upside down, makes for more stable safe rip cuts. That and it helps to reduce burning a bit. Oh and a featherboard for your miter slot to hold the board against the fence positioned so that it is in FRONT of the blade (sideways pressure on a spinning blade is BAD) will allow you to use pushsticks from the start of the cut. Keep those fingers safe, you only have 10! I always make a jig when any operation brings my hands within 6 inches or the line of a sharp spinning blade. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Making sawdust with the best of ‘em! I’m going to bottle the smell of freshly cut lumber and the “Oooooooh!!!” you get when you give something to someone. I’ll be standing on the corner dealing out “Wood”. It’ll put all the other drugs out of business!

Keep up the great work!

CJ,

You sure are making great use of all of those new tools! I’ll bet your mom has the best furniture compared to all of her friends!

happy for you and the new tools .
mama be proud , you too .
get yourself some of those plastic notched spreaders,
around the flooring glue area ( square with notches 1/16 to 1/4 )makes face glueing
a lot better , evener and quicker . won’t dry out before you want to clamp work .
