What have you built for Christmas
How busy have you been in the shop for christmas projects? and remember no pictures, it didn't happen........ Here are my last 4 projects, I actually have done 6 but I can't find the pictures of the other one's... I also rebuilt a King Seeley craftsman bandsaw in the midst of building these projects over the last 2 1/2 months. Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and hopefully you find the time to build something from the shop for a child in need at christmas time.......I will post pic's of a 6 piece wooden train I am almost done with to be given away to a child that will not have much of a christmas. God Bless to All!!

Christmas Gifts
Built a figured cherry end table with ebony accents for my dad's living room, and a flame birch/purpleheart cutting board from grandma....

Basically there is a dado in the base that accepts the legs. Then there is a dado in the legs that is the height of the base material, they overlap each other. You make a blank for the legs, long enough that they cover 2 legs each. Then you cut the dadoes out, cut the angled ends, then cut then to size.

I made 2 foot lockers for my nephews Sam and Jake so they could squirrel away stuff and lock it from each other. I used white ash, black walnut, cherry. Merry Christmas to all!

Great stuff guys,

Love the table Jeremy, hopefully something with figured cherry is in my near future! Those lockers are a great idea Kevin, hope you don't mind if I borrow the design they kind of go along with what I have been building lately......

Thanks for the compliments, I actually surprised myself how it came out. Those ebony caps weren't originally supposed to be there. The plan was wedged through tenons, but I guess I need to practice those mortises a little more. Blowout city.

I made a cherry dresser valet for my Brother in law and a cherry/maple rocking horse for the Great Grand daughter.
