Very impressive work.
Very impressive work.
Where did I put that tape measure...
Thomas/T-Chisel,
Thanks for posting your phenomenal work. I have watched quite a few of your videos and plan on doing your step stool project later this year with my uncle to get him into woodworking.
I will be looking for the library you are talking about posting. Your site is on the list of sites I check every evening for my WW fix. I am a HS wrestling coach and don't get any shop time during the winter months, so blogs and forums are my winter WW.
Thanks for posting what you do, it is much appreciated.

I am going to go crawl back in my hole now...maybe in my lifetime I will be able to complete a project on that scale...
Exquisite, Thomas!

Gorgeous piece.
Watch out the other students don't give you a blanket party for making them look bad.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.
Your killing me tchisel...wow!!!scale detail
"All great work starts with love .... then it is no longer work"
Once again, I feel intimidated.
Beautiful piece, you did a great job. Love the carved details and clean finish. How did you manage the gooseneck type crown at the top? Shaper?
Beautiful stuff Thomas. I am not worthy...
Simply outstanding!!!! I have so much to learn.
Cheers,
Ed
Holy Maccaroni, that is a super project.
Do you plan to sell it or keep it in the family ?
Mission Furniture- My mission is to build more furniture !
Maurice, didn't see Tom answer your question, and don't know where he got the mahogany from, but you can get such boards from Irion Lumber. Expect to pay a premium, and expect to get exceptionally dense boards - you will require a helper to move the boards on the scale that Tom referred to.
I've some Irion stuff, and it's roughly twice as dense as "ordinary" Honduran Mahogany.
yup...i got it from lew and myron....
OMG............I think I need to put the tools down and step away from the bench!
I am in complete awe.
Life's too short to use old sandpaper.
