Credenza with Tambour Doors

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Credenza with Tambour DoorsThis project was inspired by Poritz and Studio . They have made a number of pieces with tambour doors that are simply stunning.I used walnut and ash for the entire piece. I tried to integrate the ash in a manner to break up the walnut.To make the tambour doors I made some 1/2” plywood out of mahogany with a walnut ply for the face side. I then cut the strips shown in pic #5 on my bandsaw. Picture #6 shows the jig that was used to keep the strips square and flat while the canvas was glued to the back side of the strips. After the glue dried the canvas had to be “broken.”A video of the doors operating is on You Tube.Thanks for looking, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Designing sag-proof shelves. Have you ever heard a shelf groan? Well, maybe not, but some shelves look like they would if they could. So much stuff gets piled on them that they end up sagging like a limp noodle. It's …Source

A Granddaughter's table clock

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


A Granddaughter's table clockThis was for a granddaughter becoming a Registered Emergency Room Nurse, or something with a special name like that!!!!!! about three or four months ago!
No plans. I started making a square box using 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood about 9” square and about 3”wide? Then after going through many carving pictures and designs I drew out something that would fit on the 4 sides of the box. I then laid the box down on a piece of paper and drew out the shape of what I thought would make 4 legs that would flow in to the shape I would carve around the box.. The scroll saw cut out the pieces to be carved along with a 5/16”backer board for the pieces after they were carved to glue them all back together to look like one carved section for each side of the box. Each carved section is screwed on to the box. All the carving was done using power tools and mostly by a Dremel 3000 with the bits coming from Wood Carvers Supply, Inc from Florida. And I have learned to make pictures during the process to help someone that's just starting out playing with wood. When I first started wood working I don't know if my proportions all went together as well as they do now but there are many many years of making things with out paper plans…I did have a round clock dial to lay on a square piece of plywood as the starting place and all the pieces I added were all proportioned to match up for the final looks. All the carved pieces is maple and I used dye stains diluted in lacquer thinner in an air brush with clear lacquer for the top coats in a semi gloss finish. The plywood on front that the dial is attached to is 1/8” thick as I usually use short stemmed clock movements. Clock movement stems can go up to about 7/8” long but using wood this thick makes things too heavy and un necessary. The flowers are of maple also.

Shoehorn

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


ShoehornSimple project I originally was not going to post but I'm so proud and happy with it since it's something for myself and I can use it every day. It's from a Penn State kit. (pic 3) Made from a piece of Osage Orange. Just make a tenon on one side and drill a hole on the other. Shape and length to your liking's. This is about 16'' and custom fit for me. Finished with Danish oil and waxed. Such a pleasure using it instead of struggling getting on those certain shoes.
For some reason after turning it seemed that it was begging for some rings in the Osage so I added a few.
Thanks for looking.
