Saburrtooth and I are back for Round 3 of the We Make Sawdust Challenge!
Okay, okay, okay… with that being said I have a corner in my living room that would look great with more plants in it. So when I heard of these light bulbs you can get that simulate the same rays of the sun…. I knew I needed them!
I don’t currently have a light fixture in this corner, so I thought it would be fun to build a pendant light that I can plug-in because I do have an outlet nearby. So that is where this build starts!
I am hosting Saburrtooth’s We Make Sawdust Challenge again and this time the challenge was to build “Something You Can Sit On”. And since I can’t win I decided to completely challenge myself to try and bunch of new things on my project….. wedged through tenon chair legs and dramatic texture!
Saburrtooth and I are back for Round 2 of the We Make Sawdust Challenge!
I had this old bench I made back when farmhouse was cool. I made it out of some reclaimed beams and finished it with milk paint, distressed it and waxed. Well, it just wasn’t doing it for my anymore… so time for a furniture flip! Or let’s upcycle this bench into a more modern and textured piece!
I love gifts that keep on giving. That is why I love making special gift boxes to gift presents in that can be kept and used as a keepsake box. And whomever can keep all their special treasures in. And today I am going to be sharing two ways to build an AWESOME keepsake box… an easy way with butt joints and brads nails and one without any hardware with rabbets and dados… oh my!
Once I found a design I liked I went ahead and laid out a rough sketch of it on the board. The board is made up of glued up pieces of about 2” wide boards, so I decided to use those seams as a natural break in my design. And for the holes I was going to use three (3) different sized forstner bits (1 3/8”, 1” and 1/2”). So as I decided where I wanted them I put a B = Big, M = Medium, and S = Small. That way I would be confused once I got to the cutting process.
One of my favorite builds in 2019 was my Bubbly Bar Cabinet. It is not only functional, but it looks super awesome and was my introduction into power carving. Ever since that build I knew I wanted to do more of it, so I teamed up with Saburrtooth Powering Carving Tools to create another AWESOME piece. And this time I knew I wanted to add texture to the whole piece. And what better piece to start with than a bench, a storage bench, because everybody could use a bench and a storage bench is even better! So let me start with showing you how I created the bench.
