Ok, front and back leg assemblies are out of the clamps. Need to fit a brace between the front and back apron. Since this is a Hand Tool exercise, I guess i will do it that way
First a piece of scrap needed to be cut to length. Nice Sycamore Handled Crosscut saw. Next, lay out for a Dovetail. One on each end.
I used an old router bit to mark out the dovetail shape. Then a little saw work
Then cut out the waste with a chisel. I chop down at an angle to match the shape...

My pine is all ready to go. Knotty Pine is difficult to work with because there are often holes and cracks in the knots. I try and work around that as much as possible, but I love the look of pine, and I feel the knots just add character.
For the panels in my doors I was going to put 1/4” pine faced plywood. In my local city I could not find 1/4” ply that had two good sides which I need for the doors because they are seen from both sides. Instead I bought tongue and groov...

Well, she is almost finished. The back is on and there are just minor details left. I was pleased with how the back turned out. I was wanting it to contrast with the rest. My daughter didn’t really want this, but once it was on, she really liked it. Thanks for looking everyone. The next time I post on this, it will be a finished project.

For the opening between my front room and the larger workshop part, I have about 56” across. I have decided that I just want to use the left door (when looking into the workshop) on a regular basis and have the right door bolted shut most of the time. That way, just for going in and out, I will use the one door. When moving larger objects I can easily use both doors. I’m making two equal sized doors, each with three equal sized divisions. So each door is about 28” wide.

I am in the planing stage on putting in an out door kitchen. I am going to make a work table with a sink in it. I want it to look like a wood shop work bench not like kitchen cabinets. Could some of you give me some hints on getting started?

Somehow, finishing my workshop is last in line when I have things to do. I’ve been wanting to make interior doors for two places in my shop for the last few years.
The first doorway is between my front room and my workshop:
The second doorway is wider and is between my workshop and my husband’s adjoining garage:
(Garage side blurred to protect the guilty)
I am going to make my own doors, not just because I would have to special order for the sizes I need, but I’...

Started chopping mortises. By hand, no less. Laid out the mortise
Yep, they go all the way to the top. next a kerf cut, just to keep things from splitting out.
Doesn’t have to all that precise, just set the depth, and the length. Slight over cut will get covered by the apron. Next
Chisel to chop down into the end. Sets the bottom of the mortise. Need this for the next step
I split out the waste. A few other chisels to define the sides better, and then a check...

I have some reclaimed boards, including some rclaimed waterbed frames. Daughter wanted a small “Dinette” Table built.
Got one plank up onto the “bench” I now have. i needed to flatten it down, and then rip some leg stock out of it.
a cambered iron jackplane took care of all the weather stuff, then a few other planes to smooth the plank out. Laid out for the first blank
That is the plank. i had a “new” saw to do the rip cuts with
I figured...

I have used Google SketchUp (free version) for the last few years and have found it to be excellent for designing projects like this. All my crates are designed and costed based on these types of drawings.For this project I tried something new in the design…I added the bolts I will use to put it all together.
The picture of the bolts was done by hiding the rest of the crate…it took about 5 seconds to hide the other components.
The finished crate will be 11 feet high, 11 feet dee...
