Any woodworkers?

Ain't that the truth. The wife has been saving 'projects' for me for our new place. We don't move in for 2 weeks and she's already got my weekends booked till September lol

 

Careful with all the washers and etc for the sander. They’ll fly out and you’ll lose them when flipped. DAMHIK

Set of S&P mills I just got done making today.

 

I love woodworking!

 

what the heck dude? like it was bad enough when I showed off my 2x4's and 2x8s creatively screwed together in comparison with the rest of these people, but when you bring out an elliptical box with an elliptical drawer... I'm done... if anyone wants to find me ill be on my cooking channel

Yota243, the boxes are really not that hard to make. Check out “bandsaw boxes” on YouTube.

 

I dont do anything that moves... Doors or drawers, i dunno if i just dont cut things square/precise enough for them to work correctly

 

@yota243 - Like everything, it just takes a little practice. I started by making storage cabinets and stands for my shop. If they looked crappy, that was ok. Give it a try, if I can do it, anyone can.

 

Beautiful thing about bandsaw boxes is their abstract form requires no measurements to make the drawers fit perfectly
Glue up some stock or use a solid block, trace a pattern or freehand it, then cut glue sand finish
After a few tries you’ll be cranking them out lol

 

I assume the name implies a bandsaw is required...

 

That is a true statement.

 

Yes. With a skinny blade for curves and a resaw blade for the big cuts
Also will need a fence.

 

Do an image search on Google for some other examples. I have seen some that use some metal bars in front that look real nice and will let your pup see out a bit better.

 

Here are some of the band saw boxes I made

 

I havent had much time in my shop lately. With a full time job, side business that crazy busy, and night school for my MBA, its been months since i've had any substantial time for woodworking.I've only got 4 weeks left until i graduate, so I'm looking forward to gaining some time back.

I've hard parts cut out for a set of walnut mid century modern end tables sitting on my bench for about 4 months, just waiting for joinery.

 

Damn, just stumbled upon this thread. There goes even more of my time........... Some great ideas in here.

 

Yep know what ya mean

 

Making useful things with your hands is something humans have been doing for a very very long time.

I like to see intricate, finely crafted woodwork but for myself, I prefer simplicity and practicality.

The feeling of completing a project- seeing the results of my labor- is very satisfying to me.

Keep doing what makes you happy.

Cheers
