Best laid plans and such 🙄.
Best laid plans and such 🙄.
Finished one, starting one.
Shelves are finished! Hung using hand carved walnut dowels (always experimenting 😊).
Mini railroad ties.
Onto the next.
Shelves are finished!
First go at setting and sharpening my crosscut and rip handsaws.
Hand carved dowels and the rabbet for the back of the shelves turned out well!
Living in the not knowing.
Laying out the placement of fasteners on the back of a shelf. They won’t be seen but it is important to me that they are treated as if they would be.
Current project is making four floating shelves. One of the “features” is a lip on the front. I chose a rabbet to join the two pieces. As with everything, major learning process. Not perfect but not bad either.
Making dowel rods for a current project. Sometimes I go down a rabbit hole. This one made me think of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
Not related to anything going on as far as current events are concerned: change worth fighting for will not come easy.
The rest of this weekend will [hopefully] be restful.
A recent fancy woodworking project was a paper towel holder :-) Part of it is a round base - time lapse here. More to follow.
No promises, but at the end of this month I may send out a newsletter. The idea was to send something monthly, but, well, I haven’t done so since the end of February. https://aaronaiken.me/newsletter
I had a dream last night, and in that dream I was talking about dreams…
Amazing how quiet things are with filters doing the filtering.
More quick shelving in the workshop. Made my own fasteners instead of using screws.
Fancy feet.
Rewatching Mad Men.
First mallet is 99% complete but wanted to show how it turned out! As usual, only hand tools were used.
More bread.
