Display caseA friend of mine asked me if I could make him a display case for his ball makers. His has a bunch of ball makers from several golf courses around the world. He is a retired local golf pro. Naturally I said yes and looked through my left overs and salvaged pallets to come up with this sliding plexiglass faced display box. Just about all the wood is salvaged pallets or simple scrap wood. Dimensions 13” X 16” and 2 1/2” deep. The left overs basically dictated the best useful size. The plexi just slides off to one side. The base is just 1/8” masonite
Happy to help out a friend who is not so able any more

Cherry inlay in bamboo pattern

Furnished content.

Cherry inlay in bamboo patternThis is the bottom panel for a cherry piano bench I am building. I was about to glue up the sub assembly, but thought the poplar was just too plain, and I had some thin cherry strips left over from dimensioning the blanks a couple weeks ago. I use an 1/8” down spiral bit to try and avoid fuzz, and it worked great. After hand routing everything I epoxied the pieces in and then smoothed it all down with a hand plane. Haven't sanded anything yet, the plane and scraper did a great job, but I think I will, then finish it before glueing it into the assembly.It will be installed in the lower frame so the inlay can be seen from underneath the piano bench.here's a link to a video of the process.https://youtu.be/GX80bk5cdxw
