    Turned box, first attempt

    I turned a box tonight for the first time. It's walnut and and it actually makes the "pop" sound when you open it. :eusa_danc The photo quality isn't that good. I know about the screw holes too. Probably could've used a smaller face plate for this one. Thanks for looking, :wink_smil...

    Accent table-first attempt at mortise and tenon joints

    This table was made as a pine prototype I made before I make two more, one out of black walnut and one out of cedar (outdoor use as a plant stand), in order to try out my ability at mortise and tenon joinery. I cut them all on my router table and they turned out pretty clean I thought. The only...

    1st Chip Carving Attempt

    Well I couldn't stand it having missed the last two carving sessions so I just broke down and bought a couple of flexcut knifes and gave it a whirl tonight.
