I AM BACK BABY!! (sorry this post is pretty messed up but I was tired)




This is the drafting case I made at the beginning of the class. The things I got to design were the handle and how I veneered the top and inside. Each corner of the case is joined with a different type of joinery















This is a short spline joint.










To the left is a long spline joint and below is a box joint

Hello,

]I am soo sorry I was gone for so long but no more. I had no camera and I really like posting pictures best. But because I have the best family ever, I now have a new camera, thank you mom and Ian!!! Alright I am feeling pretty sick tonight but I wanted to post some pictures of some of the stuff I have been building. This is just the beginning but it is something at long last.















This is the Shaker style side table I built. I turned the handle on the lathe I made the drawer completely by hand, including hand cut and hand planned. The dovetails were hand chiseled.
































These are pictures of the Arts and Crafts stool I had to build. It is made from White Ash. The through tenons were hard to build. The far picture is of the lap joint at the base of the stool.
