Bathroom Cabinet by Kurt Schultz
2nd grade pine finished with amber shellac and wax. Layout for the door build was the most challenging…now I have 2 other doors that will need cabinets to! One will be a first aid cabinet for the garage. The other issue I encountered was my cabinet sides where not true to width- not the short side causing the installed mirror retaining bars to bump on the shelves. So instead of making the shelves thinner, i opted to make a bunch of small clips to avoid the shelves.

Workbench by David Boyle
My first ever joinery project! My late father in law who I never had the pleasure of meeting had been a keen woodworker. I had noticed a plane in his garage a couple of years ago and hadn’t known what it was. It turned out to be a rusty no4 record. In researching the plane and how to restore I happened upon Paul’s YouTube channel which is an invaluable resource. I restored the plane and built the bench to begin to learn its use and maintenance. I know my bench isn’t the finest example but it’s solid and heavy and feels fantastic to use. The vise is a heavy brute of a thing that I saved from our previous house, a Parkinson, also restored and working well. I really like the idea of continuing to use old and once forgotten tools and in a sense bringing them back to life. I sometimes think of the people that used them previously. Thanks for this amazing resource and the opportunity to think about the past and learn new and valuable skills

Nice projects, everyone. I’m always humbled by the beauty of others’ creation, knowing the time and energy that goes into building things right that are every bit as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.
