Woodworking

This commissioned pair have been such a joy to make, and I think they came out so well. Pikachu and raichu created from wooden cubes #pokemon #pokemonart #kawaiiart #pokemongo #pokemoncommunity #pokemontcg #gaming #raichu #pixelart #commission #woodart #woodworking #pikachu #pokemonlegendsza

Walnut and maple...jar? Vessel? Paperweight? Idfk what it is but that walnut is pretty! 5" x 5", linseed oil. #woodworking #woodturning

Hrm my 20+yo timberland boots (that I only rarely wore when I was younger and now use only for dirty work duty) has decided to lose its sole

I don't like weird angle cuts. Any guesses what I'm making? #woodworking

step one buy a lathe

My secret goal for the month was/is to get enough funds together to grab a harbor freight mini-lathe so I could spend November turning wood spindle ornaments out of my considerable tiny wood block collection. Grabbing something from my shop would help considerably! www.galdrecraft.com

Yeah... some woods can be really difficult... even with power tools.. and others cut like butter.

Instagram just served me a post about an exhibition by Ernst Gamprel. I was somehow not familiar with his work. If you’re into woodworking and turning do yourself a favor and check him out. Inspiring… #woodworking #woodturning

Got to go meet a woodworker this morning, who I've been following on Insta for ages. Tool envy and workshop fit-out goals intensified. Feeling very lucky and grateful that my love hooked this up as a birthday surprise for me.

And yes I’ll post the wood glue picture

Last year I went to this party as a bottle of wood glue. This year I’m really stretching the definition of “invited back”

A repost... 'LadderBack' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Sapele wood. There were 4 or 5 'ladder' themed pieces carved. This wasn't my favorite one but it was probably the most ambitious of the bunch. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #design #woodworking #sculpture #woodenspoon #carving #woodart #wood

It took a lot of work, but no one else has a kitchen island like this (front drawers and cabinets still underway) #woodworking 🧶 #diy

It does! of course I take a picture of the stupid finger joints on the back

sooooo many dovetails. I need to do a better job with my pictures storage. Wait does flikr still exist? hmm

A repost... Two for Tuesday... 'Laminated' ~ Carved in Poplar wood with some sort of laminated block of colored wood veneer. 'Leaf Form' ~ Carved in Serviceberry wood... one of my favorite carving woods. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #design #woodworking #woodenspoon #woodart #carving

I did 35 for the garage tool cabinet... all dovetails (machine, not hand!) Fun times

I love when I get to the "clamps connected to other clamps" stage

As a dyslexic woodworking I get it.. looking on the wrong side of the inch marker... "there's 8, here's 8.5" -mark 7.5 I have developed a TON of new habits measuring with marked boards rather than things I have to read. I also gotta be careful about working on parts upside down, etc. fun stuff

I could explain, but that would ruin the fun. I'll just say that it's better with a bandsaw than by hand.

Another table finished! This one is going in the customer service area of a Toyota / Lexus bodyshop. I tried to use as many bodyshop supplies as I could. The emblems, the clear coat, the chains for legs are all from the bodyshop. Its even wrapped in 3M chip tape extra protection #cars #woodworking
