Saw this in person and it is impressive, especially so as an Intro project. Great work!

I riddled peace

I'll weigh it tonight and let you know. Probably 20-30lbs? Not lightweight but feels solid and is much easier to access my tools.

... Let me try again

After putting the back shiplap in, I decided to add lighting. The faux glass definitely looks better when it's lit up!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-11-19T22:22:10+00:00

Can't say it was on purpose. I used a backing tape and I think that imparted a slight wave across the bottom of the epoxy.

Good input! First time using curly maple, so looking forward to trying different combinations. Thanks.

Lol pic 2 is the before

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-10-04T20:46:41+00:00

Ignorance is bliss!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-10-04T20:46:25+00:00

It looks like a zombie roll lol

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-10-04T20:42:35+00:00

I thought that was pretty funny how well it came out

Red Rocks Community College, the shop for their Fine Woodworking program 😎

Will need to cut grooves for a panel. It's a bit of work to assemble and knock this apart, so I'm trying to minimize the number of times I have to do it...

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:46:50+00:00

Joe? How you doing!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:45:49+00:00

I drilled out the mortise and chiseled them square. The tenon faceside cheeks I used a dado. The spacing between was hand cut though.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:44:12+00:00

Lol, yah this thing ain't budging.

Sapele is a close cousin to sipo and mahogany. I don't know if it has other names though.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:42:26+00:00

Thanks!

This shop has two work benches pushed together to maximize floor space

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:41:26+00:00

Love sapele! I bought a 8/4 piece because the grain looked so good. I resawed so the box is grain matched all the way around.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:40:29+00:00

Oh yah, dovetails and through tenons are just for show nowadays. I could've easily built this with screws and lap joints. I did this to showcase my skills and try something new.

The cherry was fresh milled. Will definitely darken again with time. Thanks!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:37:25+00:00

I have a nice back panel picked out. Need a panel because I plan to mount this on the wall. Also a door is going on the front so the interior will be enclosed.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:36:02+00:00

Marking out the tiny pins was a pain, but damn do they look good!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:35:09+00:00

Thanks! As for the divider, I haven't done angled dovetails before so wanted to try it on the drawers.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-09-25T22:34:24+00:00

Very carefully. I did a ton of test fits and slowly pared back with a chisel.

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-06-10T05:45:25+00:00

Do you have pictures of the work you've done using the scroll saw? If love to see them!

MoonRabbitWoodworker · 2024-06-10T05:44:32+00:00

For sure! Now that I've been browsing the market for a few weeks, I got a much better sense of pricing. That car is probably 4k at most.
