Two small saw horses (japanese inspired)This evening I finished my two small (japanese inspired) saw horses. Made from construction lumber (pine) and finished with boiled linseed oil.They are in now way perfect. But I intend to use them. Putting them on the ground. Banging on them and probably cut into them by mistake with a saw or two.I made them with a combination of hand tools and power tools. They are glued and screwed togheter. The screw holes are covered with some oak plugs (I like the contrast). I think they turned out quite cute, more like two mini saw puppies…

Dog Steps

Furnished content.

Dog StepsThis was a quick weekend project I tossed together for my boxer Mack. He turned 12 in February and had his yearly checkup last Thursday. They found arthritis in his hips and since he insists on sneaking into the bed at night I figured it best if he had some steps. The only things I needed to pick up for this project were the rug for the stair treads, the corner trim, and some stain. Everything else was scraps I had on hand.I made a frame out of a 2×6 that had been in my shop for months. I milled that down to 1-3/8” square stock for the frame. The sides are sheathed in 1/2” birch and the treads are 3/4” ply of some variety.The finish is a 2 part stain with an undercoat in ebony and a top coat in espresso. On top of that are 2 coats of wipe on satin poly and then MinWax special dark to finish it off.I don't own a jointer and I don't like planer sleds so I used a #8 and a #6 to help with milling the 2×6 before it went thru the lunch box and final dimensioning on the table saw.And the last pic is Mack being an idiot on the living room floor because that's what he does.
