Thanx. Steve, that was all with a chain saw, cheap ass table saw, hand held jig saw, cordless drill, sand paper/ with rotary sander & elbow grease--you should be able to really kick ass with that new set up you're putting together All that pine I used came off the barn floor as I needed to replace boards.

That's the latest rage Fred! Reclaimed wood is what it's all about for country chic. See how far ahead of the curve you were! Check out the prices that guys are fleecing people with money to burn. http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/produc ... rod1617202

I have had a few pieces launch backwards out of the table saw, took one right in the chest and it ricocheted ended up 30 feet in the back yard. !!

Hey! You used to be really talented. I really like that first chest. Has a Shaker feel to it.freetown fred wrote:So YES, that would be primitive in my world Old school would consist, among other things, taking a set of snow chains & gently yet methodically beating the hell out of your furniture piece. Also a good test for how sturdy you've made it. I like the coat rack, and, the saw looks like it will do much for you--just remember--yiggy's--had a cabinet maker friend from Finland that used to refer to any jigs he made as yiggy's Have fun with it Steve. Here's some pieces I've made over the years.

That shaker problem is really what slowed that furniture making way down. Somewhere way back when, I picked up a real simplistic book on the history & the how to on shaker style furniture.

Nice work guys, Fred nice work, americans furniture makers such as you make pieces that are classic in that they are functional and pleasing to the eye and have just the right amount of, " I built this myself " showing. we could get some nice threads going while our stoves rest for the summer, SteveZee, there are standards involved in kitched cabinets and I would be happy to share with you. Good luck and keep us up dated on your projects..... p.s....you are so right about what folks will pay for stuff that has THAT LOOK.SteveZee wrote:.... so fine finish isn't as important yet. Later I may tackle some tougher cabinate kitchen stuff.

My finger never did heal after kickback took it into the blade -- I would trade anything to have had that safe saw then -
