We have to find you a small dust collector. That’s not healthy for you.
Nice job BTW!

looks awesome Denis! in what part of the country do you live? do you think ‘overnight’ will be enough time to let the panels adjust to humidity and new dimensions?

P.S. you (or someone you know) can use all those shavings for garden mulch ;) just another way to recycle wood in a positive way

Hi Denis;

Nice work.
As Bob mentioned, you’re going to affect your health without a dust collection system.

The plans I posted for a router table fence will eliminate 95% of the sawdust I’m seeing in the picture, in addition to providing a much more useful fence in the process. That fence will give you the versatility of a
$ 2,000.00 shaper, at a fraction of the cost.

Denis, I realize advice is not always easy to accept, but this is something I know, not suspect.

Do yourself a favor and make one. I assure you you will be glad you did.

Denis,
Thats good work,

The guys are right about a way of collecting the saw dust, I hope you are at least wearing a resperator, if you screw up your lungs or develop an allergy to wood it will really shorten your career working with wood.

-- Ed Collinge- Edmonds, WA.

ya i was wearing a respirator. and thats all dust from that planer. so i’m not sure how the router fence will help. i’m planning on ordering a dust chute for my planer soon and i will just connect that up to my shop vac.

Yep Dennis you need a dust collector——respirator or not all that dust in the air is not good for anyone in the house. Your mother (or whoever does the dusting) will appreciate a good dust collector.

With that said—- how is the sycamore working for you? I’ve not worked with it, but have admired it’s looks from afar.

Nice Work, Denis!

The new planer looks like it is working pretty good!

ya betsy, a dust collector is next on my list to get, as well as a scroll saw.

sycamore is working nice. its hard on the planer knives. but it works well and is very stable.

Scroll saw? Now you’re talking. I absolutely, immensely enjoy my scroll saw. You’ll be amazed at the things you can do with it.

What do you plan to finish the sycamore with?

-- Betsy - GO BUCKS!

I’ll probably die it up. i researched it and it said that it accepts dyes and stains well.

ya I’ve been looking to get a scroll saw for awhile. i want to work on my freehand inlays. straight isn’t that hard and really limits your possibilities so i want to try curved. inlays are something I’ve really been wanting to try for a long time.

Thats some nice progress.

Nice project. Could you get closer pictures of the “then i cut the sliding dovetails in the case sides for the drawer runners to go. i don’t have those done yet but i will have it done soon. i used a 14 degree 1/2” dovetail bit for this.” I prefer wooden guides. This seems to be a great way for furniture. Or is it not? Thanks

oh.. i should have explained that better. the sliding dovetail is for the wooden guides. i will cut the wooden guided oversize and put a sliding dovetail on the end to hold the actual wooden slides in place.

Denis,
Thats good work,

I am the proud recipient of the trash bucket cabinet. If you think the photos look good, you should see the actual finished product. It is absolutely beautiful!!! I know how talented Denis is, but he outdid himself on this project. I have been looking for a cabinet to hold my trash bucket for quite some time and all the ones I have seen in the stores were not well made and very pricey. So I described to Denis what I was looking for and he went right to work. He even matched the stain to my kitchen island!! I agree with the person who posted a comment saying it looks too nice to hold trash, but the point of the cabinet it to hide the ugly plastic trash container and this is the perfect solution. No one will believe that such a beautiful piece of furniture holds the trash container!!! Denis is a truly gifted, talented and humble young man whom I adore!! Oh, did I mention that I am Denny’s aunt/godmother?? Anyways, thank you buddy, you are awesome and I am so proud of you!!
P.S. I had Denis sign and date the inside of the cabinet; I now have a Denis “original” Great work!!!!
