probably childs play for most here, but all the mitres, all the parts, all the routing, a lot of work.
made a spline jig, added splines, still working on them, have to add the feet to 2 of them.
I decided when I make anything small, I should make 3-6 at a time, this way if my daughter grabs one, and my future daughterinlaw grabs one, I will still have some left if my wife or another relative wants one.
I made four, but I had to dump the sides of one box, the spalted maple was just too punky and didn't do well when I started to cut mitres. I finished the top to the box, Ill just make another 2 or 3 when I finish these.
It will be 2-4 coats of Danish oil, followed by either em6000 spray laquer, semi gloss, or wipe on poly, depending on where Im at with the night stands and the outdoor temps. I don't want a lot of unfinished products backing up on me.
Im going to make a run into new jersey, to a place called boardandbeams, Ive ordered from them before, I like the thick full cuts of their rough lumber, but Ill pick it up this time.
My supply is finally going dry, except for cherry.
heres some pictures of where they are right now. I spun the handles, not spending money on hinges.using anything/hardwood I have on hand and is less than 36 inches long.they are full of sawdust, they need to be cleaned up.
