Woodworking

A place to document my woodworking attempts

#SSBO Assembled!  Looks pretty good for my first piece of furniture!

[ericgstinson]

Drilled a couple mortises over my lunch break.  One went well.  The other did not.  I hope this goes together!

#SSBO Finished carving the seat.   It was fun!  Also, calling it a night.

#SSBO Carving the seat with a  spokeshave and the seat held in a makeshift visey thing...

[ericgstinson]

Planed down and ready for reaming.  I'm calling it a night. #SSBO

[ericgstinson]

Seat scraped.   I realized that I need to thin out the seat a bit so my tenons make it through.  Rookie mistake! #SSBO

[ericgstinson]

My hand is tingly, but I think I'm done with the gouge. #SSBO

After a little scraping on the seat. #SSBO

This kinda looks like an owl neckerchief slide I made at boy scout camp...  #SSBO

[ericgstinson]

No carving tools so I'm using turning tools...  #SSBO

[ericgstinson]

Seat cut out.  #SSBO

Vee block setup for cutting the legs to length.

Mortises reamed!  Starting to look like a stool!

[ericgstinson]

Whew!  I was able to correct the angle when reaming!

[ericgstinson]

Must have bumped my bevel square and messed up the angle, because it's 6 degrees off...  Hopefully I can make up for it in reaming....
