Thread: What's your ...

    What's your ...

    favorite thing(s) to build.
    Mine would have to be "little" shelves.
    Currently working on a set that is 18" wide, 22 1/2" tall and about 3 1/2" deep.
    Made of maple that I harvested, milled etc.
    The outside edge is the natural tree edge with a bunch of little burls.
    Have found that folks love them for displaying little dust collectors.
    Will post some pics when this one is finished.

    I like anything with drawers. I like having things in their place and making drawers leads me to belive that other people do as well ;-)

    At this point I have not built enough to know what I like to build best.

    I just like working in the shop and taking a board and coming up with something out of it.

    This I am sure will sound really dumb but I like the feel of the wood and the sound that good hardwood blocks makes when they strike against each other.

    So ask the same question in about 5 years and maybe I can give you a better answer.

    pieces with detail joinery....often handwork. These can be beds, drawers tables. Curved pieces are also challenging, such as chairs , sofas, and lamps I have made. My next project is to furnish my guest house. This should involve similar pieces. I am starting to design them now.
