Anyone enjoy woodworking?

I have been working from home and using a cheap plastic folding table so I decided to make something nicer. Made from walnut and hairpin leg set.

That turned out very nice.

I would love to have woodworking skills

I’m learning but I think I’ll try to take some kind of class to learn more.

Was working on a miter saw bench a while back and got sick so I stopped for a while but today I started again.

Been painting the deck but this week has been rainy and cold so far so I started on the bench again.

Not a whole lot of "working" involved with this piece, but it includes wood.
My son's turkey from this spring mounted on reclaimed barn boards with a laser engraved medallion I made with my new Glowforge.

Working on a cutting board made out of maple and walnut, might be able to get two out of it. Going to a friend who had a planner tomorrow to get it all smoothed out.

Three main hobbies - reefing, audio systems and woodworking/tinkering. Nice thing about the latter is that you can branch out into acrylic with the same tools (different bits though). I’m in the process of renovating an old grandfather clock. Case was built by my grandfather in the UK around 1930 and needs a bit of TLC. Clock movement was older and doesn’t run. Thought .... how hard can it be to repair .... got it out ..... holy smokes, not touching THAT. Took it to a local clockmaker who specializes in fixing old stuff. Turns out the movement was made sometime between 1715 and 1750. Whew, glad I didn’t take it apart.

That sounds like an awesome project...we'll need some photos for sure.

Yeah, it had been standing mutely in the corner of my living room for 20 years. Before that with my uncle in the UK for 50. Keys got lost and some of the molding fell off. I’m trying to balance fixing with preserving ....

Any wood works have any tips on how to make 3-3/4" deep dado's, in 7/8" thick pine boards?
My 8" dado blades will only go 2-1/4" deep.
I'm making a shelf/case that I'm cutting dado's in multiple boards at the same time.
I cut all the dado's in the boards exactly in the same place, which is 1/2 way through the boards, then reverse 1/2 of them and they slide together and hold without using nails.
I made a couple already with 3-1/2" wide boards for a window sill display. The dado's only needed to be 1-3/4" deep.
Wife wants something similar but with 7-1/2" stock.
I don't have a sled for my table saw that I could put stops on and just use a single blade.
Can I use multiple 10" blades and use the spacers I use with my 8" dado kit?

2 options I see are router or a table saw blade that will cut square on bottom and score it several times and clean up with a sharp chisel. I hand cut a couple of years ago on mortise and tenons and found it very rewarding. I had cheap chisels too.

Got the lights on. Not as good as you guys but it’s a start.
