I have been getting to eat a bit of sawdust over the last week or so. Didn't produce anything really noteworthy, just a couple of small needed items.
Never had anyplace to hang clothes out of the dryer in the laundry room. A bit of design on the fly solved that. The metal over-the-door hangar was from a neck traction unit I got from the VA several years ago. The wall mount is simply 2 pieces of Maple, notched top and back to hold the hangar, with a single key hole slot near the top. The screw is driven directly into a stud.
A while back I built a free standing shelf to go in the end of the hall. The depth of the shelves were blocking the boss's power chair from getting into the front room so she had it moved to the living room. The clock that was on the top shelf also serves as a night light, so she asked for a simple wall mounted shelf.
I used some Cherry cut offs from a previous project to fit the bill. I almost cut it too small, er....., I mean, I designed it to be a near perfect fit for the clock. It is unfinished at this point. I have some gel varnish ordered to try on it. The wife decided against having me stain it.
The brackets are tenioned and glued into stopped dados and it is mounted to the wall with screws in key hole slots.
Next, my neighbor's 8' trailer has a slide in tailgate. The tailgate is usually a rough cut chunk of plywood that gets replaced when it falls apart. Talking to him one day and seeing the latest version, I decided to build him a more permanent tailgate. Simple 2x4 frame with a plywood insert. Didn't take pics of it.
I also made a replacement back slat for a rocking chair in the nursery at their church. After I get the chair and replace the broken slat I will post a pic.
One final project is posted in 'tool talk'.
