I hate working on homemade scaffolding.
Especially in a proper turret.
It's only a little over 20ft, but falling would hurt hahaha
A pretty large chest I made to sit at the bottom of my bed. Should look really nice when I stain /finish it
The hinges for the lid and the handles haven’t arrived yet either, but I found some really nice hinges hat allow the lid to over hang on the back
Looks nice bro. If you're ever looking for hardware here's where I buy a lot of stuff from.

Nice they have some cool bail pulls on there. Wish I would have known before I bought the ones I did so I could have more choices. Either way the ones I got are fine though I guess.
Haha you could always swap it out later. Nice work though bro.
Thank you.
That’s true. I’ll see how it looks before I install it and return it if I don’t like it
@Envian Nice work. Post photos after you stain it please, they always look so good after being stained.
Here’s my latest project. Just a simple stand for my desk
Building some custom windows and frames for a place in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
Glazed
The frame I had to chisel out the mortise for the pulleys. These are single hung windows.
In that 2nd pic I used a chisel. Once it's like that you can use just a chisel to get the material out.
That’s cool. I haven’t run into a situation that requires any of my chisels yet.
The key to getting good cuts with hand chisels is to cut across the grain. I also trace the pulley with a razor and it keeps the edges from blowing out.
I build a custom book scanner
I made it from 1/2 Birch ply wood
I made a special cut-out with a glass insert
I cut the glass with a Four-fluted straight flute drill bit
I made mounting brackets from the scrap Birch plywood and mounted the Scanner up-side down so I can place the Book face down on the glass surface to get a perfect image surface
I placed Teflon tape on and around the base of the scanner and used 5min epoxy as a plastic shim so that the scanner could be mounted to the birch brackets without drilling into the base of the base of the scanner
