Got my first woodworking commission (I have done lots of carpentry for $$$). Building three mirror frames for a friend who is a clothing vendor at various festivals around the world, she sell very eclectic faery wear, but the mirrors in her booth were always cheapo. So I asked her if she wanted me to do something nice for her.
I drew up these rough sketches to work from (not really a sketchup guy)
Last year I got given a pickup truck load of rough cut birch, cottonwood and this spal...

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.

The radius at the bottom of the spokes was cut on the table saw by locking down the miter gauge and pushing the wood into the blade from the side and it was done in 4 passes. We used an 8” dado blade.
This is the back of the wheel where the axle will go into

I’m still plugging away on the NF workbench. Weather here in ON has been cold so, it has moved inside for completion. My biggest hangup so far has been the math for the intersecting pipes. Everything fits in there – but it looks like I may have a hare over 3/4 from the benchtop to the pipe. I got a little carried away and made the well for the long clamps 12.5”. Next bench will probably be smaller, although my drill press fits in there pretty nice.

The last time I was over at my son’s apartment he “casually” mentioned that he needed an end table beside his couch to put things on, so I decided this would be my next project. After the toolchest build I was looking for a small project that was hand tool centric that I could build in a few days.
All the other pieces I have made for him have been Cherry so the wood choice was easy. I had built an end table similar to this in the past so quickly threw down some measuremen...

I have been busy working and my daughter has ben busy with school, so we haven’t had much time to spend on this. We have made some progress though. A little each week.
She has cut and shapeed the handles with the router.
Finished all the doors.
She sprayed the whole thing down with strong tea to add tannins to the pine.
We used this ammonia.
We sealed it in the shower with the ammoina overnight.
We pulled it out and looked at it. I was pleased.
