I have some projects in mind, I am sure my wife has others for me, but the woodworking and related projects in my queue are...
What's on your list?
- Proper kitchen and bathroom cabinets. This will consume a good amount of rather pricey plywood, but is MUCH better than the 1984 paritcleboard junkers in there now.
- Moms memento box. She wants a letter box made with the State wood from each state that her boys settled in. Pecan for me, Eastern Redbud, yeah like that is easy to get, for my oldest brother, and Oregon Myrtle for my middle brother. How to get the material? Anyone willing to ship me some state woods from Oklahoma and Oregon? Neither brother knows much about sourcing odd lumber...
- Dads cobblers bench. When I grew up, our living room coffee table was a cobblers bench my Dad made from a 1950s magazine plan. I have that very same plan and even though Dads actual bench is long gone thanks to the middle brother, I want to build a replica of that bench.
- Matching, sort of cut down cobblers benches but not, end tables / lamp tables. Basically lose the seat area, just build the box with the drawers, perhaps turn a lamp column and attach / build in lamps, integrate some Ikea Tradfri smart outlets and call it good. The idea is to LOOK like Dads 1950s work, not BE Dads 1950s work.
- Refinish the well worn front door.
- Live edge pecan coaster set. Easy right? Not when every time I get Pecan limbs the right size they end up in the BBQ pit... Need to take them to the miter saw first!
- Truck camper. Not sure this is a woodworking project, but it INVOLVES woodworking. Planning a M&T skeleton frame with PMF / Foamie construction. Look up foamie teardrop trailer and apply the same concepts to a pickup camper shell with a Thyroid issue and you get the idea. Cabinet doors, shelving etc... are going to be faced with T&G cedar, which I may have to mill up myself out of fence pickets to keep prices down.
- Wifes wedding memoriabilia shadow box. I am WAY overdue for building this, but I need to build a shadow box with some sort of UV filtering acrylic panel for my lovely wifes wedding doo dads like the bouquet yes it was silks, the garter etc...
- PS/4 controller / headset charging and storage stands. I've mentioned that we have relatives that do a bit of gaming as they are immuno compromised, and, well the safest way for them to visit family is online. So we get together in a group and do some gaming. Anyone want to do a mission in Los Santos, or join a party in Eorzea with us is welcome. It is sad that I know what those are..
- Cedar roll up campers shower mat. basically a mat to keep feet out of wet when using the shower tent in case water +dirt = mud... I try to capture, and / or set up for drainage but success is hit or miss.
