I made this leather apron years ago before I knew about @txheritage and the great work they do. It serves me well, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not a little envious of the sweet embroidered waxed canvas aprons I see others sporting! Hahahahaha

Here’s my tablesaw. The trusty Whitney 177. New bearings, 5hp 220v/440v motor. Excellent condition. For sale…

Here is the installed ebony knob. I’m pleased with the proportion, shape and overall look. Not meaning for this picture to be an Aveda product placement ad….
My wife loves Aveda! Hahahahaha.

Here’s my new Wadkin PP tablesaw that will be making its way to my workshop very soon. Unfortunately that means I need to sell my super nice Whitney 177, but it will be a good move in the long run…

Here’s an ebony door knob that I turned awhile back. I try to use domestic, locally sourced lumber that I cut myself using my small sawmill, but sometimes I really like adding small details in ebony. http://ift.tt/1RpW0n4
Here’s the new mid century modern chair that I’m working on. I almost have the mockup of the frame finished up. Once that is done I will make templates while refining the design a little. Then a copy in hardwood…

Pic #4 - Here’s the new mid century modern chair that I’m going to reupholster stripped down to the bare frame. I will make a sister chair so I have a set. Unfortunately I have no idea who designed it…
Then the plan is to make some changes to the design and make some more!

I’m working on getting this mid century chair frame angles figured out so I can reupholster the original. Then I will start working on the sister copy! http://ift.tt/1JJ5fMX
All the shelves are now dry fit in the workbench insert for luthier Kelvin Scott. Hooray! Now I need to square up the carcass and start on the drawers and doors…

Testing the fit on a sliding dovetail for Kelvin Scott’s workbench insert. I think I’m happy with it now after making adjustments for nearly an hour. Lots of test cuts and trial and error! The good news is that all three shelves are the same thickness so now that I have everything dialed in the cuts should go quickly… http://ift.tt/1Ja5UUg
This morning I am trying to get the partitions into Kelvin’s workbench insert cabinet. I much prefer sliding dovetails to regular dadoes because they provide mechanical strength to the joint. I also think they look a little more interesting… http://ift.tt/1QEZ4LP
I took apart my Wadkin banjo this morning. I am going to get another one cast at a local foundry. Getting the endcap off to pull the eccentric cam shaft out was a real challenge!

Running some wood through my Oliver 299 planer. Some beautiful grain and figure on this walnut! I’ve got my jointer all dialed back in and am happy to be making shavings. Life is good.
