    Fue una experiencia bien agradable el poder lograr disenar y construir esa pared de division para mi balcon, dividiendo el area de cocina exterior del area que utilizamos para esparcimiento. Otra similar pero con acceso para entrar al area fue hecha el borde derecho de ese porche.

    I have been scroll sawing projects for years. I decided to take up toy making. I have a bad habit of going all in when I start something new. I made a motorcycle and found the wheels very difficult to make.

    Was a gift for my daughter, who told me of their existence. Itz very hard to get cedar here, so had to go with cypress fence boards instead.

    Due to arthritis in my hands, and emphysema, ( wood dust induced) I find it nigh- on impossible to indulge my love of woodwork. But my enthusiasm and hunger for information is unaffected. so I am not able to submit any project’s. Sorry!

    I chose to revisit this design made a number of years ago. I designed Flower Mirror Revisited to use rescued Bubinga. The soft curves of the mirror allow the light to dance across the surface of the wood. As with many of my pieces I chose to do a clear hand rubbed finish to allow the beauty of the wood to take center stage. Photo by Justin Guarino

    Laundry room was dull and and lacked storage , the walls are tiled to make it look like wood planks for durability had to customise the cabinets to fit in the space.

    Where do you get sycamore lumber? I live in Denver area and can get most common hardwoods and exotics but species like sycamore, sassafras etc. are really hard to find.

    I made the multisided polygons using instructions from WWGOA DVDs on Layout & Geometry. You need the pdfs from these discs as well. The number & month rings are twelve-sided polygons and the weekday ring is a seven-sided polygon. I first noticed the perpetual Calendars on Pinterest. I made this from scraps of ¾” Oak good both sides plywood. The largest ring is about 15″ across. The face and back are ½” plywood but I don’t know what kind. It is finished with Boiled Linseed Oil. The numbers are painted with white acrylic paint and the letters are colored with a Sharpie Gold Metallic Permanent Marker. The numbers and letters were engraved with a Dremel tool and a “105 engraving cutter”

    Here are two projects. One major, on minor.
    The bandsaw jewelry boxes were Holiday presents several years ago and used up some of my cutoffs.
    The dinning room chandelier took nearly a year, required steam bending and glue lamination to make the ellipses. It took several approaches to make the light fixtures, finally settling on 1/8″ NPT brass elbows.. The glass ellipses were epoxied into walnut frames and then epoxied between the upper and lower rims

    Commissioned by my neighbor to build this sofa table with a hidden compartment for keeping his “Home Defense” items concealed and safe. The drawer is activated by a RFID card when placed in just the right area. Neighbor gave me the +30 year old walnut stock to use because it was from his father which he lost recently. Sort of a memorial table with added security! Top has a maple inlay surround with matching leg pegs.

    26 String Harpune
    A BeardedWonder Productions Production by
    BeardedWonder

    The harp took five or six weeks to construct in my car port with two or three hours a day four or five days a week spent. It took thirty to forty minutes of set up and put away and clean up for each session so only an hour and a half to two hours per session was actual working on the harp. It was slow and fun work as I have never made an instrument so complex.

    The harp has a thirty inch long sound board and is about forty two inches high. It is a Paraguayan style harp where the string are strung in the middle not on the left hand side as traditional folk and modern concert harps. This makes it lighter and easier to build as the stresses are all down the middle of the harp. You may have noticed that it use guitar tuners instead of tuning pins. Easier to tune and no wrench to drop or loose.
    John Kovac – Harpmaker 26 String Harpune kit for the hardware plans and strings. One bold and six screws and it is in pieces again.

    I wanted to make a new dinning room table at counter height, with a couple of leaves. My old table expanded to 60″x60″ so I used this as a starting point, building a base. I then started on the top which would slide onto the base. I used maple for the frame of the top and then used pieces of maple, oak, poplar, pine, cedar and oak plywood inlaid on the top I then started built a jig so that I could rout out the center pieces to a uniform depth and then started pouring in the resin. I finished it off with spraying a clear satin poly. after a couple of days drying, I put on some car wax and buffed it out. All together it took about 2 1/2 months to finish
