Summer's almost over--so what are your fall/winter woodworking plans?

I can't believe this coming weekend is the last before Labor Day Weekend. I have a huge todo list with a few woodworking related items on it. First and foremost is building a maple dresser for my daughter to match the bed, table, and bookshelf I've built the past few years. We want to give that to her for Christmas just over 4 months from now.

Also on my list:
- Finish the rebuild of a 1965 Powermatic Model 30 belt/disc sander
- Rebuild a early 40's Parks Planer
- Kitchen counter redo
- Rebuild one of our kitchen cabinets from the usual 2 doors & 2 drawers configuration to one with three wide drawers.
- Crown molding and an under-cabinet wine bottle holder for the kitchen.

Maybe a new entertainment center too if we end up getting a new TV instead of just buying the digital converter box.

Oh, my...the list is long, but here are a few:

• Tack Box for Nastia
• Bedside tables for both Nastia and Alesya
• A side table from the beautiful English brown oak I bought from Hearne for the purpose awhile back
• A media cabinet
• A buffet like table with shelving under it for books to go in the great room
• I should really finish the Nakashima Mira style chairs I started back in 2003... ;)
• Finish the wall cabinets for my new office that go over the credenza
• etc, etc, etc...

All the projects that I currently have started and get sidetracked from completing..... - is that not everything? :rolleyes:

In reality -

-Cedar-lined chest for my daughters birthday
-Finish the Drying area for my walnut stash
-Get the rest of the walnut and apricot slabbed out
-cabinets in the mud room
-a toolchest with some of my cull cut collection
-finish the walls on the utility trailer
-three picture frames
- ...........

It never ends - which is fun!

I'm building a walnut blanket chest for my daughter, with her help. At the rate I get time in the shop I'll be astonished if we finish it by Christmas!

Oh, my list is endless. This is most of the stuff I remeber.

-Finish a full basement
-10ft built in/book shelves/tv entertainment unit
-2 columns to go around posts
-laundry room cabinets
-Fish tank stands for 13 tanks, 3 stands total
-10ft wall of cabinets for "the fishroom"
-Hang a full kitchen
-Trim out the house
-Build a full set of furniture for bedroom.

I think thats it for now. Between school, side jobs, work I WILL find time :D

For me, the good news is that I still have nearly 3 months of good weather to finish my undone summer projects! http://sawmillcreek.org/images/icons/icon12.gif
The bad news is that list includes cabinets for the laundry room, building a storage shed for the kayaks and reroofing the house. http://sawmillcreek.org/images/icons/icon9.gif

I don't know...but here's what I have to do it with!

Bloodwood, Tulipwood, African Mahogany, Cocobolo, Jatoba, Macassar Ebony, Gabon Ebony, Goncola-Alves, Padauk, Birds Eye Maple, Bubinga, Wenge & Yellowheart, I have a bunch of Oak, Walnut & Maple up in the loft.... We'll see what the season brings...

My list is long as well.

- Finish current fireplace mantle project
- Build an ocassinal table out of the insane solid walnut and waterfall bubinga veneer I got at Hearne a while back. This one is for my mom so I definitely need to finish that one.
- Wife and I started on a bathroom remodel last weekend so there is quite a bit of case-work there.
- Built-ins for the family room
- I plan on finishing a few humidors that I have started. I almost had them done until Bill Wyko had to go and spoil everything by posting those magnificent humidors he has been building. Now I need to hop them up or I can't even call mine humidors. :)
- This all needs to happen before spring arrives again as wife and I plan on building a new deck.
- Oh, and the kids need desks for school work and, of course, they need to match the other stuff I built for their rooms.

Build the remaining 9 dining room chairs and finish all 10.

Rearrange my shop; sell the Jet Contractor saw and Jet DC. Replace with an Oneida 3 HP Gorilla and a 5 hp SawStop.

I'll be a happy camper when the above is finished...then a walnut corner cabinet built after Lonnie Bird's antique copy and a walnut jewelry cabinet for my wife.

My spring and summer has been consumed with a fairly extensive house remodel project. Good news is the "butt work" is almost done.

This fall I will building the vanity for the bathroom. The intent is a bowfront vanity in the Art Nouveau style. Woods will be Curly Peruvian Walnut and possibly cocobolo, or domestic walnut that has been ebonized.

Preliminary plans of what I'd like to do are probably too long to go into.
What will actually get done, well this little . sums it up!!!

hmm.. lots of things i would LIKE to do, but no clue how much i will actually achieve:

-build closet in hallway dead space
-refloor living room, hallway and entry rooms
-paint living room walls/ceiling
-take down wallpaper in kitchen
-expand our garden (need more space for plants!)
-put a small stone pad next to the shed to store the smoker on

er... maybe if i am lucky I will get to start on end tables and a wall table for the living room, and a new coffee table.. will see

Play kitchen for Megan (19 mo/old)
Adirondak chairs and table
New Bed for us.
Adding a seat for the picnic table for megan.
Working on reorganizing the shop!!!

Am presently working on a non-woodworking home upgrade right now (3x5 walk-in shower) for the upstairs bath. Probably late this fall I'll start on a new kitchen for LOML. Will either be in quartersawn oak or pecan, we haven't decided yet. I have enough of either air dryed and waiting to go to the kiln.

I will also be finishing some built up trim on the interior windows and doors. I did a couple a while back, just to see how we would like it and now its time to do the rest.

somewhere I got the crazy Idea that I wanted to make my mother in law an inlaid serving tray. Unfortunately her kitchen motif is grapes and vines. Anyone care to guess how many 1/2" circles of purpleheart veneer you have to cut to make a bunch of grapes! It's not going to be a pretty site.
