Matt’s Weekly Shop Update – June 1, 2017

The long weekend threw things off a bit but the time away was great.  Besides editing videos most of last week, I spent some time in the shop working on the porch swing and I prepped the maple crotch for milling.

Trestle Table and Occasional Table by David

Here’s a trestle table (Anna White Design) and a small natural edge/black pipe base table made from mesquite I cut from my ranch and had milled at a local saw mill. The trestle table top is 40″ x 84″ and is 1 3/8″ thick with bread board ends.  The small occasional table has a natural edge and both are finished with the same finish you had used on your secretary.

Adirondack Guide Boat by Lance

I am legally Blind and had to find something to do with myself to pass the time of day. I got into woodworking about 13 years ago. I stated with simple projects the gradually got better at it and now I make just about anything out of wood.

My biggest project was a Adirondack Guide Boat that is 14\’ and it took me 5.5 months to build.

Kitchen Table by Mike

I made this dining room table to replace the one that my Grandma has had for over 40 years. AS you can see from the picture the old table was a bit warped. It is made out of red oak to try to match the cabinets that she has in the kitchen.

Live Edge Coffee Table by Drew

So this is my second furniture build and is a walnut slab coffee table for my parents.  I think the table turned out great really like how it looks with the metal legs. I also like how the legs do not over take the overall look which is what i was going for I want your eye to mainly focus on the slab itself.
