Furniture
took up a new hobby to pass the winter by. Decided to furnish my new home with furniture I made myself. Still working on new projects every day, and starting to get requests for new projects. Last picture of the lumber load is local pine milled by a new friend up here.

Re: Furniture
Nothing like building something with your hand and getting to use it.I have built homes and done a lot of renovations.
I have wanted to build cedar strip canoes and kayaks for years but have always been too busy working on other peoples projects.

Re: Furniture
Wear a mask and long sleeve t shirts when your milling the cedar.I used to do a lot of houses with cedar trim.The stuff irritates your lungs and skin.Smells great though.
Im looking at building a metal building to start doing the strip boards and to store my SUP inventory till it sells.Big fans pushing dust out and vacuums on the power tools helps keep the dust down.The fumes from the epoxy are toxic too. Seems everything I like is dangerous,bad for you,illegal or too expensive.

Re: Furniture
I have the makings of a professional furniture shop out in my garage but I'm still unpacking after moving to the PNW. Eventually I'll get it set up again and start making stuff. Building furniture is most satisfying.

Re: Furniture
Nice looking furniture.
I've recently gotten in to wood working. Love doing the slab tables. I just finished this one up and starting tomorrow on a big 7' x 4' silver maple desk for my shop. |

Re: Furniture
Two very nice tables, gents. Live edge is something I find really appealing.
