I call him Cyclops.
This comes from too much time on your hands and wishing you lived in a castle. These are the legs to the Cyclops table.
Both prototypes finished
I call this trunk Sophisticated Lady. This is it almost done.
You are now entering Jig City.
These are the jigs I have needed so far for the trunks I am making. I am pretty sure there will be more before I am done.
This is how the cabinet looks after staining. I dig the tone more than I thought I would.
This is a very nice review (the only review thus far) of the show I am involved with at Vine Arts Center in Minneapolis.
This is the cabinet I am making for my aunt- and uncle-in-law. It is made of ash and this picture was taken before I stained it. It is made of for their stereo equipment and has a shelf that slides out so they can easily change records on their turntable. The bottom area is to hold LPs, the drawer is to hold CDs. The top area will hold their 8-track tapes. I am kidding. I think.
This is the crown I ended up going with. I am not a big fan of crown molding. I mean, it is very useful in built-in situations where you need to hide things, but on furniture it seems a little pointless. Things look bizarre without them, but I wonder if that is only a bit of visual cultural programming. On a totally different topic, it is strange to be commenting or adding to thoughts I posted earlier when you, the reader see the newest thoughts first and don’t have any idea why I am posting boring pictures of crown molding until you read my earlier posts. And then you still wonder why I am posting boring pictures of crown molding…
This is the bad crown. It was supposed to be a visual continuation of the feet, but the fact that it is wider than the corner piece on the front and narrower on the side makes it way too awkward to live. Next time I will make the corner upright pieces square so I can experiment with this made-up molding style.
