Attached File Pizza cutter turned from apricot wood. These are seriously heavy duty. I built this using a threaded brass insert so the cutter can be removed for easy cleaning. Yes, I still have a Christmas table cloth on. Don't judge me. 😁 |

I’ve let some go to spalted and most have worked out very nice. It’s all timing. Made this today - Japanese style tool chest/box - it’s too small for a tool box but I like how the lid locks in with a sliding dovetail wedge Attached File |

Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File My first productive day in a while. A couple of pizza cutters in walnut and Great Basin figured poplar, lighters in osage orange and red dyed and stabilized spalted maple, and a key rack from live edge cherry that I milled out of a piece of firewood with a walnut Mississippi insert. I still need to pull the hooks back off, sand, and finish. |

Playing around with a piece of apple wood. Made a wobble bowl. Also tried to get it as shiny as possible. Put two coats of walnut oil and two coats of poly. Then buffed and polished. Came out ok. I think it's still to cold for things to dry correctly. Can see brush marks if looking closely. Might sand it all off and start again if I can pry it away from the wife! She loves it!

I have no experience with them so have been looking for advice on them. EBR I'm an absolute drawer snob..... can't stand cheap-ass drawers or slides. Dovetail, no nails, no hot glue, and NO CHIP_BOARD!!! Either BLUM or K&V undermount drawer slides are what I use. Blum preferred, K&V has more length options. Both are high quality and are mostly interchangeable save for the slide locks. Attached File I prefer undermount slides. Both side-mount and undermount slides are critical about width. A quarter inch off and you'll be re-making the drawers. Undermount slides are also a bit picky about drawer depth. To help with the cut list, I made an Excel spreadsheet that I enter the drawer opening height, width, and slide length dimensions into. It calculates my cut list for me. |
