Recent projects - and old project updates

Please excuse the photo quality on a couple of these - and I'm 3 hours away so I can't retake them at the moment!

Holder for my lathe gouges - oak plywood and jatoba edging with tung oil for finish. Nothing fancy, but serviceable. I need to make one of these for my wood chisels as well. Hopefully I'll get to fill them with some quality gouges and chisels one of these days!



Trellis for LOML (actually it's for her plants) - made from jatoba strips fastened with countersunk stainless screws. Yes, the center strip is a good bit off center - I think I had a brain cramp. OTOH, I suppose I could call it a design element?



This weekend's project was a wall cabinet - sandeply and (you guessed it!) jatoba with tung oil to finish. I hope to load this one up and get a few more things neatly stored this weekend.



I've posted pictures of my lumber rack before - just not loaded:



Cutoff cart - for organizing the seemingly endless supply of "too good to throw away - but not big enough to use on this project" lumber. The back side has a shelf for plywood stock cutoffs. Glad I built this one!



Thanks for looking!

What more can you ask for.....form and function on all pieces. Great job.

Nice projects, I really like the constrast between jatoba and lighter woods.

How thick are you cutting your jatoba edging? And do you glue/brad it on or are you doing something more fancy for an edging joint?

Depending on the ply that I'm edging - between 3/8" and 1/2" - on the gouge rack I used 3/4".

Glue/brad it on - nuttin ' fancy!

Thanks for the compliments...

Good, functional shop projects, Scott. The trellis and shelf should score some high points.

Good looking projects and useful too. I may "steal" your lath chisel rack idea, it looks good and doesn't take up too much space.

I Like! Nothing like a good functional and practical projects.

I particularly like the cutoff cart. I started using a couple of 33gal trash cans and they ended up being the middle of a pile of unorganized pieces that I think may be holding the unbalanced trash cans upright. The pile screams at me do something. So, just maybe, I can take this as the push to get it done.

Scott being nice to the Wife is always good public relations. I liked the other projects also. Bill
