A few weeks ago I blogged that my next commission project would be a Mission Style Casket for my Uncle John. He passed away last night, so in the midst of being filled will joy that this project is nearly complete, I am also saddened by his expected death.
Throughout my life, Uncle John has been an “encourager”, despite what path I took. Even when I’m sure he was concerned about decisions I was making, he always showed me respect, and encourgement. The type of “e...

I finally finished the design work for the table aprons. Nothing quite spectacular but my own touch and interpretation has been added.

It is starting to look like a table. Saturday I glued up the table ends and stretchers. Sunday I glued up the back and front with the small shelf between the...

Ok, ok, ok.
I have seen all your beautiful beautiful tables. So, now I have been shamed that I have not made one, I am officially joining the challenge.

The last couple of days, I’ve been working on the tabletop. I mortised out the breadboards, & cut the tenons.
I kind of fell for the cloud lift theme, so I incorporated into the top. You might want to call this a sideways cloud lift.
I decided to try something from the latest issue of Fine Woodworking, They call it draw bored pegging on the breadboards. This is something I’ve never tried before, so we’ll see what happens.
Check out my latest Video, hope you ...

My Walnut board was 6 3/4” wide, but it was dished a little, so I ripped it in half, & joined it in 4 sections for the top, I also glued some Ash to the edges.
The Top clamped up.Now I have to go out, & start with the breadboard ends for the Tabletop.
This is one of the Shelves, using my new Irwin Clamps

Well this is the second time I’ve wrote this I tried to slip in a picture and ended up losing my whole blog. Oh well, what else have I got to do, it ain’t the first time. To the blog:

Don had asked that I provide some additional pictures and notes on the construction of the Cradle / Glider that I designed and made. The pictures are posted at Flickr
The First cradle was made out of wormy popular. Pictures are not found as of yet. Every cradle that I’ve made my wife said, “I want one.” For the first I cut the parts but never assembled it.
The second cradle was made for another daughter. and For the second one I never cut the parts. It was made with ...
