End grain cutting board with maple inlays

Furnished content.

End grain cutting board with maple inlaysThis is my first attempt of making an end grain cutting board made of walnut with maple inlays. It is mostly made on my homebuilt CNC. The inlays are made from solid maple blocks, because I did not want any visible seams in the inlays. Therefore I had to split the pattern into smaller segments and glue them in two runs. The slope on the side of the inlays made the walnut/maple seams practically invisible.There are a few more pictures at my blogspot if you are interested:

1:6 scale model of the Wegner Dolphin chair

Furnished content.

1:6 scale model of the Wegner Dolphin chairI've had my eye on the Wegner JH510 'Dolphin' chair for a while. I worked out some vectors for the pieces a while back, but paused after that. I've been getting the itch to build another chair, but unfortunately, I can't allocate time to work on one right now. But a couple days to knock out a scale model of the chair? That I can do. This will help me to verify proportions and get a jump-start on how to go about building the full-sized version.The original is a folding chair, but to simplify the model build, there are no moving parts – everything is tacked together with CA glue. The frame is made from ayous – wood I frequently use for table tennis paddles. It's fairly lightweight and easy to sand. Here are a few photos of the build process.Blanks for the parts that will be cut out on the cnc.
I cut out some extras where I could squeeze them in, just in case.
The arm pieces were a bit too thick, so I kept sanding them down until they were closer to target. I'll be sure to adjust the design to account for this. Score 1 for scale modeling.Today, I moved the project outside. Sanding isn't so bad if you're not cooped-up indoors.
I made this little triangle to exactly set the legs in correct position.
A dot of CA glue where the parts meet holds everything together. After both sides assemblies were done, I glued-in the various stretchers. This was a bit stressful trying to hold things together while fiddling with CA glue and accelerant, and I forgot to take an more photos until it was all together.
I still need to work out if I'll add some kind of seat and back covering. I might just leave it as a skeleton for now. It was a fun little project, and I can another chair to my portfolio (scale model, whispered sotto voce).

They're cheap! All you need is some PVC and plastic laminate. A central dust collection system is a big improvement to any shop, but the cost can really add up. With commercial gates going from $4 to over $50 each, …Source
