Demilune tables
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
We needed a pair of tables for the basement, so I redesigned the demilune table I built several years ago, reducing the width by 6.” You are well familiar with the numerous steps involved in this type table, so it takes a while.One of those “oh, s*” moment occurred when routing the edge profile, using a router bit that should have been replaced. “Craaack” a,d off split a piece, and the router dug into the edge, as seen in the 3rd photo. I had planned to get them sanded, stained an d finished that day, but you know how these things go. I ran the top across the table saw, removing about 2” and scarfed a piece on and waited overnight for the glue to dry. Meanwhile, a trip to Rockler for a new bit; the old one is as far as I could throw it into the woods.

Record Player Cabinet -Wine Rack- Buffet Table...Thing
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Technically, this was my first piece of furniture designed and built from scratch. Lots of mistakes along the way, but it was a good learning experience that yielded a suitable piece. The proportions are pretty goofy, but the space it was designed for restricted its length considerably. It was built for someone who wanted something to set their turntable on and display vinyls. They also wanted a place to store their wine and glasses and additional storage. Its a pretty eclectic mix, but the apartment it was made for was very, very tiny. Despite its odd proportions, it looks really quite good inside that little oddly shaped apartment building.Fortunate for the owners, they have since moved to a larger, more normal shaped house. Unfortunately for them, the extra living space really highlights the stubby length of the buffet table? Record cabinet? Wine Rack? Pile of wood? Not sure what to call it, other than unique.

Chess Set
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Chess Set made for a friend from quarter sawn white oak leftovers from a chair build and walnut leftovers from a record cabinet build.First time cutting lock joints. Used on the carcass the drawer slides into and the board is doweled into. Good thing they're mostly invisible, because you can tell they were firsts. The recipient liked the set so much he even let me win the inaugural match played on it. Quite generous of him.
