30 in 30 .. Projects 19-34

Well a big congrats 30 plus well done

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Those chairs are really cute. Are those ebony or walnut plugs covering the screws?

How tall is the bench? From the pic it looks taller than the chairs.

You know what you should do with the boxes? Build each new one a little larger that the previous one. Then you could “store” the previous one in the new one. This can go on and on until you are making boxes out of full sheets of baltic birch ply. :-)

The pen and pencils are nice . . . but not as nice as that ebony set that you sent me. They have taken over as my daily writing instruments at work. I love them and I get a lot of +ve comments. People automatically think that I made them . . . but I confess that I did not . . . and then I tell the story on how I got them. Tks again.

Thanks Jim.

Zuki, the chair seats are about 7.5 inches tall and the back is about 18 inches. The plugs are walnut. The bench is 18 inches tall, 22 inches wide and about 11 inches deep. And, no, I am not going to build boxes to hold boxes. That’s just silly. ;-)

As for the pen/pencil set, I’m sure a story about the unexpected package from a crazy foreigner being received by a cautious wife is much more entertaining than, “Hey look what I made.”

You set out on the challenge, thought you got in over your head, yet finished anyway. A true Lumberjock indeed… not only completing, but beating the goal. Congratulations.

I too have a couple of experiments I could have counted, – but still chose to get something else posted anyway…. plus a few things that need a little more work (or some help) and will make fine projects someday (hopefully sooner than later)

Thanks Rustic.

Darryl and Scottb, it’s been an interesting experience and it was kinda fun not doing it alone. I found that I am much more productive when I have an external motivation. I’m a pretty pragmatic guy for the most part and doing things simply because I want to often strikes me as sterile. A little voice in the back of my head keeps saying, “You know you could be doing something useful.”

Still, good things came from the exercise.

Thanks Karson. While my daughter and granddaughter were here, the little one dragged her chair everywhere she went. I’m guessing she liked it.
