I have been, but it stopped working.

oof. your project requires specific woods?

Pretty good. I can make any pattern or weave you've seen, mostly stick with bracelets but I've made dog collars and leashes, cat toys, etc

Not really, but I don't have a ton of spare wood. I'm not good enough to require specific woods yet lol

is local your home depot not open?

Working on a board game / dining room table right now.

We have a Lowe's, but I'm still quarantined. Mostly I just make little things like a candle stand with a built in slot for a book of matches

I really want to graduate to making larger things but I really don't have the space

ooh, sounds good. how far along are you with it?

I had to get creative. My shed is 10x12,but it stores a bunch of stuff too.

makes sense. i'd really love to see you document the stuff you made to see your progress

Table top is glued together

I also don't have clamps that large lol

That looks awesome though

Haha I got those from Facebook market place 🙈

that looks AMAZING @Rjd good works. you're leaving it outside?

It's inside for now. Just finishing the glue ups for the trestle underside

Ideally it will looks like this on the underside. All wood joinery

This was the first one I made. Sized it for a large Yankee candle, and you can see where you slide the match box in

What that?

Candle holder with a space for you to keep a book of matches

Ow nice!

That's pretty awesome @mikeflarkin

i had to google what is a yankee candle lmao

wouldn't it be better if there is a circular dip so the glass jar don't slip?

Needly maked

I thought about that, but I wasn't confident in my ability to do it well. For the most part though the candles that size aren't moving around a ton

looks impressive. have you think about the colour you want to paint it yet?

Beautiful work rjd

That looks like kind of like the work bench I want to make

ah, i see.

my dad has a circular head that attaches to the drill to drill circular holes. if you're interested, i'm sure you can find it online 👍

I was thinking more of like a slight depression on the top more than a hole, kind of like a coaster

Mostly my projects lately have been "take wood, attach to wall, put things in wood to hang stuff"

Paint it? If I were him I’d stain it then put a gloss coat over it.

Wood is pretty

that would work, too. if you made a circle and just chisel along, i think that would also be nice

fair enough

See that's better than my option, I was just gonna put on Breaking Bad and grab some sandpaper

Hi
