I like #woodworking

Chicago
Whew. It already feels like I put in so much work to get to this point and I’m not even half way done with the construction

It’s at this point in a project where i have to remind myself that I’m the only one who is going to focus on the minor imperfections

My neighbor just taught me about speed tenoning and I feel like now I have for demand probably dangerous knowledge

I already regret the mortises. Why did I have to try and be fancy??? Domino would have been so much faster and more accurate

I’m just a nasty little cassoulut

Hanging the keys off the side seems to look ok. I think this works. Project done

But I probably should have measured how far keys dangled down before designing this thing 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It looks really nice

Never enough clamps. If you’re looking for a gift for a woodworker, they will always appreciate more clamps.

Time for the hardest and most stressful part: glue up.
December 9, 2024 at 7:08 PM
Carcass parts all milled up. Now I gotta amp myself up to cut real mortise and tenons and not just reach for the domino

Meant to get a before picture but I’m breaking down this massive piece of 10/4 mahogany to get almost all the pieces of a carcass. It was fun until I realized I was using my crosscut blade for rips. 😵‍💫

lmao I'm imagining the BCBS ceo sweating and stammering while typing out this marketing email personally

Lip milled and fitted. All the pieces are there it’s just time for glueing sanding and finishing!

My neighbor had the right tool!
December 5, 2024 at 4:17 AM
God dammit. Retaining ring popped out on my jointer planer handle. I definitely don’t have the right tool for putting this back in it’s spot

I recut the leopard wood side so that it is edge grain facing forwards and I like the way it looks a lot better. This is coming together ok
December 4, 2024 at 10:31 PM
Aw heck yeah this is gonna look real nice
December 2, 2024 at 3:34 AM
Is it nice?
December 2, 2024 at 3:27 AM
Dadoes cut!
December 2, 2024 at 1:59 AM
Much better
December 2, 2024 at 1:32 AM
I hate these clamps. I’m going to throw them out.

My stop block must have moved 1/32 in. when I flipped the walnut. Dammit.
December 1, 2024 at 8:27 PM
Shit. I fucked something up
