And since I am waiting on a part for my paint sprayer I continued on another bee hive. This one is also layens frames with 1 1/4" insulation and 1/2" plywood inside and out. Still haven't decided to just paint it or do something I haven't done yet like cedar shingles or maybe reclaimed metal siding...

Cedar shingles is cool. I really like to see painted artwork on the hives. I also have seen some nice burnt artwork and logos on hives.
 
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. 20200521_155704.jpg 20200521_190045.jpg 20200521_190058.jpg
I like the light and dark mix

Chicken coop and run made from reclaimed fencing and stall doors with the exception of a few treated 2x4s.
Nice job on the coop!!
 
I'm a marine joiner currently making a wheel and deck hatches for a 50ft sailing boat

There is some talent there, beautiful work!!
 
Did this over the last couple of days. Turned out pretty good, used walnut, maple, and padauk wood, a little upset one of them had a small crack. The squares are 1.5 inches, next one will be two inch squares but wanted to make something to use my new planer. IMG_20200530_163507_588.jpg 20200526_163539.jpg
Nice work!!
 
I didn’t build it, I just repurposed it…….A kitchen hutch turned into a flat screen TV stand, with surround sound.

My wife despises our flat screen TV. It’s an ugly black rectangle on the wall in the living room.

So she was at an estate sale and spotted a kitchen hutch she really liked.

I was called to come pick it up, and we now had this pine hutch. Although it was staged in the kitchen, I think it was in the garage or basement and used for storage, because of the poor condition of the two horizontal surfaces.

I cut out the three shelves, leaving a small part of the shelf in the center, for our surround sound speakers.

After a fair amount of sanding and drilling a couple holes (my wife insisted in not seeing the wires), I stained the piece and gave it two coats of polyurethane. The TV was mounted and all wires hidden…..in between the two drawers I installed a shelf and put a power strip there. Drilled a hole in the back, and all power cords are now hidden.

Happy wife, happy life!


(I just realized the reflection in the TV....a stepper. When our gym closed (I think in March), I installed a stepper and recumbent bike in our living room. I convinced my wife that no one was coming over to the house, and we still needed to exercise.)
Great refinish job Paul!! I would say refinished is possible the hardest project to do with woodworking
 
I also enjoy woodworking and built this 40 breeder peninsula stand for a friend earlier this year. It has removable side panels/canopy and filter box on back.

Great concept for a stand!!

I like the knotty grain in the boards.
