Project Information

These 2013 Christmas gifts will be on their way to their receivers real soon. OK, yup, this Santa is waaaaay late… (still workin on a few things I don't wanna post till they're finished). Musta spent too much time in the hammock… Anyhoo, these are made from some left-over cut-offs and some scraps. Oak and Walnut combinations. Also used 22 brass for the little door pulls, Walnut trim and splines. Their size is about 12×7x1 1/2". Could have made them just a bit bigger, but, they'll work out ok. The 2 with the Louisville Cardinals head are for my son and grandson. Cut the heads out of some coasters, then epoxied them onto the Walnut. Thnx for the looks and of coarse, comments, good/bad/ugly are all appreciated. I actually made 6 of these, but the other 2 have already been delivered.

Good work Roger, 'specially like the non conventional door pulls. How did you execute the hinges, with dowels or with the walnut door pared down?

Might be a bit late for Christmas…and then again might be extremely early for next Christmas…however you view it they are really nice Roger. All you need to do is figure out how to dome some woodworking from your hammock…got a hammock in your workshop? Nice design and looks like a lot of useful compartments.

Thnx folks. -greg48: I used 1/8" brazing rod, and this little jig to cut them to length, then just sandwiched the doors while gluing it all up. I did round-over the upper edge, so it would open w/a round over bit on the router table. Maybe this pic will help.

I just noticed that the LumberJocks home page looks quite a bit different?
? Also, our pictures are not showing. Is something wrong with the site or is it my computer?
