woodworking

Well, I guess it could handle stuff a good bit wider than 30cm. Mystery wood, but probably red oak. Just a rabbet on each piece, some hardboard (narrower than the print) to connect them, and commodity hanging hardware. Broke the edges with a hand plane, then a light sanding and finished with Danish Oil.

For some clarity, I did not make the speakers, but attempted to match the wood as closely as I could for the credenza.

To make the space above our massive heater a bit more useful, I hacked together this little shelf from some second hand wood that I bought from somebody in our area. It’s made entirely with hand tools and held together by screws and prayers due to the funky shape of the back side of the heater....

I recently stumbled on to Witco style artwork and came across the piece pictured here. I’d like to try my hand at creating something similar, but wasn’t sure how to approach the boat bodies....

I built this garden shed to hold potting supplies and lawn tools for my bonsai garden. It was a fun exercise playing with the nail gun and I didn’t even stab myself. The shed definitely is not plumb or square, but it hasn’t fallen over yet so I’m pleased.

I made a joiners mallet. I’m trying to challenge myself by only hand tools. The wood was found in the basement; I think hickory head and I have no idea what the handle pieces are. The handle and head were each laminated and the handle was mortised in, wedged, and glued. I rounded out the handle with a spokeshave and rasp....

My cousin’s girlfriend (they’re both trades workers) recently brought up that she’d like if I (a woodworker) could make her some handles for her work files, as they’re currently bare metal. At the time, I mentioned I’d probably use maple to make them, since maple tends to be more figured and visually appealing....

I would like to wood burn some designs into a nightstand but may want to add more burning down the road, after I coat it with shellac. From what I could gather, people mentioned to only burn and then seal, otherwise the burning after the shellac could cause issues, like releasing inhalants. Is that really an issue with shellac...

1/4" piano wire point, random copper pipe ball peen hammered, candle wax buffed finish except for the rightmost one which is tung oil. Took one spindle turning project previously. Following Mike Peace’s video.

What’s a good basic table saw? I look at them online and can’t really tell much a difference. I’m tempted to just get a harbor freight one but know the fence will probably be loose and other annoyances…...

I’m sorry if this is not in the spirit of the community, but I figured my dad would know because of his experience woodworking, and I don’t want to ask him for obvious reasons. I’m happy to remove it if it doesn’t fit....

So I’ve been putting off upgrading the fence on my trusty Rigid 4512 for a few years....

Our bathroom has very little extra floor space so the scale has been leaning up against the wall....

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this....

Update to my previous post: lemmy.ca/post/7236274

I’ve recently built a fold out shelf, to dual purpose as a headboard, and I’d like to be able to secure it in the upright position (I think. I’d also consider the down position if it’s better somehow) for stability when moving. It’s in a camper trailer, so there doesn’t need to be any room for movement when it is...

Finished:...

A small table for our toddler to draw on and ruin 😊 Solid maple build with mortise & tenon aprons. The top was bookmatched from a piece of 8/4....

I found that simply reversing my featherboard makes it function very well as a thin ripping jig to make repeated (thin) cuts on the non-fence side of the blade. The featherboard’s hard side is simply set at the appropriate distance from the blade on the side opposite the fence. Then the fence is moved to support the larger...

Hey woodies,...

I can’t tell if I’m sharpening incorrectly or if my file is just worn out. Is there a way to tell? I read somewhere to replace after like five sharpening a but that seems really short.

Hey WW community. Exactly as the title says - I am making some work tables for my kids. They’ll be used for homework, laptops, etc. And they’re kids, so one can guarantee a little bit of abuse....

Working it.
