Several months ago on another forum, I posted a challenge to build a project entirely with hand tools. After several months went by I finally got around to starting on my own project, a jewelry box, and thought I would post it here as well in case anyone was interested.
First step was to try sawing one of the chunks into 7/16 boards for the sides. I had picked up an old Diston rip saw a couple of years ago and now was the time to try it out. I clamped the board in my vice and had at it, b...

Looted my storage unit today. I had this pile of wood in there… plus just a bit more ‘shorts’ and ‘cutoffs’ but they’ll come home tomorrow.
I had to clear out the rack just above the mitersaw, so I put up a couple more arms on the wall and moved the short stock over there.
I won’t need to buy too much wood for awhile.. who am I kidding anyway?
Mostly cherry, (middle section), plus some maple and butternut (bottom and top sections)

This weekend’s goal is getting the cabinet beside the stove to at least have a usable counter-top. We picked up a beaten up 10’x2’ glued up piece of maple countertop off of Craigslist for $50, and that’s becoming the surface for beside the stoive, and the narrow counter for under the window, with a backsplash cut from the scraps. Today I took a deep breath and cut the first pieces.
As I said, the counter-top was pretty beat up with a few gaps, so as I sanded...

I debated whether I should put this entry here or over at HomeRefurbers, but that site really hasn’t taken off yet, and the process of coming up with our kitchen cabinets is feeling a whole lot more like woodworking than it is home improvement. Although an upgrade from the 1 person 1947 kitchen will certainly be an improvement.
My arm was good enough this weekend to play in the shop again. My main project was to mock up a prototype to some lightweight appliance lift ideas I̵...

So I haven’t forgotten about this bench. I have lots of spare time to plan my woodworking projects before I actually work on them.
So I decided to work out all the joinery for the bench. I’m going to try my hand at loose mortise and tenon. I figured loose tenons would be easier because of all the curves. My plan is to route the mortises in the stock before I cut the curves.
Here’s what I came up with:
So enough planning . . . time to start cutting . . .

With the start of school coming and the constant work with my band I hope to get another woodburning piece in before the end of summer. I planning on doing a Black Sabbath one or maybe a Guns n Roses one. I’m once again to ideas and suggestion. Dragonforce’s new album hits August 26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pat

My first try at a wall cabinet for my shop. The case is constructed using maple with simple dado and rabbet joints.
The door frame is maple and the panels are hardboard.
I still need to add some holders for the rest of my hand tools. But I did just get around to routing the pulls.

I just posted the Led Zeppelin and Him woodburned art. I am already wondering what I should do next. I was thinking Anthrax or maybe Cradle of Filth. If you have any ideas feel free to post them. Pat

OK, let me apologize right up front…I didn’t take any pictures of the next few operations..they were really basic stuff, and I was so focused on completing them I just didn’t think to grab the camera. I last left you when all the trays were glued up and ready for routing. First I did some preliminary sanding of the ends. I clamped the top and bottoms together and installed the belt on my Rigid drum sander. I clamped a temporary straight edge perpendicular to the belt to keep...
