Windows for a Summer Cabin
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Hi LJ's. Hope everyone is doing OK out there…While digging thru some old photos, I stumbled across this project from 4 yuears ago. My in-laws have a summer cabin that desperately needed new windows across the back side of the structure. The old windows were “fixed” and could not be opened. So, I volunteered to make some new ones.It was a fun project. I used clear, straight grained Douglas Fir with loose tenon joinery and water proof glue (Tite Bond 3). I purchased an adjustable Sash and Door router bit from Rockler that made a nice edge profile and recess for the glass. The side hinges are recessed into the window frame and screwed directly to the window jamb. I primed and pained all the parts before intalling the glass with silicone and quarter round mouldings. The windows don't leak and have held up well through some nasty winter weather. Picture #6 shows a corner shot of the cabin that includes 3 additional side windows I made a couple of years previously. Same basic construction, different size/configuration. Questions and comments always welcome. Thanks LJ's…Optional reading – Just a little history on the cabin itself – The property was homesteaded in the late 19th century and has been in the same family (my in-laws) ever since. The foundation/basement was build in the early 1970's and was out-fitted with a rudimentary roof. In 2009, my brother decided that we should build an upper story and make it into a more usable structure. So, we designed and built the top floor. Fortunately, the foundation/basement was in fantastic shape. The first summer, we put up the framing, sheathing, and roof. The second summer, we intalled the board and batten siding and windows. We stained and painted everything and the cabin has been a fun family retreat every since…

Anybody for a round of golf?

The 3D model came from Stetchfab. After I carved it, I coated it with Bronze Metal Power. The golfer stands 16-inches plus additional 4-inches for the golf club. Since the club and hat was very thin, I 3D printed those.Gary

Cherry Living Room Tables
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I used the Woodsmith Plans for the end tables and designed the small table myself to go with them. You can tell that the end tables were built last year by how much darker the cherry has aged. The small table will catch up in a few months. Not sure I got the proportions on the small table quite right but it is growing on me. Do you think that I made the aprons too big and the top too small? It is amazing how a little change can make a difference. You may notice that he legs on the small table are tapered on all four sides and fluted on two sides, this came out quite nice I think.
