Was not sure where to do this thread..........
Do we have anybody who does wood work? Maybe put up some pics of your projects?
I tinker in the wood shop alot. Build custom rustic tables. Lately I have been using wood from a 100ish year old barn.

I built this from a 100 + YO barn, right down to the metal roof. I have plenty of lumber left for other stuff.

The last two...... I have one more to build. Maybe two.... The second one would be 13' long if they confirm.
Attachment 417623, I do wood turning, this vase's walls are about 5/16 thick. I also made the Murphy bed behind the vase
This is probably my 'pride and joy'. 6'8" tall 24" wide, six shelves. Stained white oak with the backing board being 1/4" birch-sheathed plywood inset into rabbit joints on the sides-top-bottom and stained to match. Shelves are partially inset into dado joints that don't reach the front of the side panels. Glue and screws for final assembly
Built this sucker 25 years ago and haven't had to tighten/adjust anything since...and it's gotten moved around the house a lot in that time.

Don't have pics (lost them somewhere) but around the same time, I built a friend a set of three book-case style DVD racks. 4' tall, shelf height and depth to fit DVDs...solid walnut with clear-coat, backing board same as I did for the bookcase.
He's still got them, and still uses them for his DVDs and Blu-Rays.
From time to time I work with wood and metal

Scrap turned into about 10 of these

10×10 shipping timbers resawn and turned into these end tables. No screws or nails only glue and dowels. Strong enough to stand on top of. Top was planed flat by hand
The only thing I have successfully made from wood is sawdust.
That is part of itQuote:

Would love to see some of the furnitureQuote:

Me as well including kitchen cabinets, doors, etc. Enjoy it. My shop is roughly 900 sq. ft. - all tools, hot & cold water, heat & A/C, even a shower in two rooms. Computer set up out here, I don't watch TV. Better things to do. Thanks for your post.Quote:

All it takes is practice, which means you have to ruin a lots of wood. lol. You'll get there as you do more.
Thank you.

I have been trying to figure out a jig tying table for a while. I have to have a picture in my head before I sacrifice the wood on the alter that looks like a table saw. Needs to be light and mobile, adjustable height for what ever chair I wanna use, built in storage for supplies, etc. And I don't want to buy anything to male it.

I have a metal lathe in the shop. It isn't fast enough for wood. I need to pick up a small wood lathe

Very nice Chris. I had visions of doing a whole crappie carving this winter but sickness and other factors intervened. Still on the to-do list.
