pdjms1 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ok, so it all starts with an idea sparked by a comment my father in-law made about thinking he might start collecting cigars. I though the WW has a humidor project maybe I should build him a humidor (should note I significantly underestimated the cost of this project). Then I realized I should make something for other family members like dovetail boxes, and my aunt broke her ankle a couple of years ago and had issues bending down to get things out of her oven so how about that Steve Ramsey push/pull duhickey. All great projects and meaningful to the recipients but man did I underestimate the amount of effort it would take away from my Krenov inspired bookcase. I just finished up and got some picks finally of these projects last night and then realized I can't actually post any of them on Facebook or I will spoil the surprise for my family members… So I figured I would post them here and give you guys a chance to laugh at my exuberance and ignorance.

..Kev Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Those look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdjms1 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks for the compliment (good photos can cover up a lot of mistakes, lol) I'm trying to do more then just snap shots in my mess of a workshop (garage). I have some equipment and all the skill for a photography business I sold a few years ago but am typically too lazy to set it all up for one or two projects… this time I had a few and some stuff to sell on ebay so out came the soft boxes, flashes, and big boy camera (non-iphone) (would have gotten better photos of the decorative boxes but my wife already wrapped them so messy workshop photos it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Awesome stuff pd. Love those boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I like the design of the oven rack thing-a-majiggy. It looks a lot nicer than the one I made years ago in jr. high shop class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 The boxes are really neat looking and beautiful wood. The oven thingy, I didn't see Steve's video, so it's a good thing you described it's use. Pretty neat. It would make a good, WTHIT item. Gotta make me one.

pdjms1 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Cooper I had to google "WTHIT" since I'm not down with all this jive internet lingo. lol. Steve's is the same basic soft S shape with the birds mouth and hook at the two ends. I just contoured it a little more. I really like his projects for quickies and if I want to embellish there is typically a little room to add your own flair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be neat to have so others could ask "What The Heck Is This". But they do that on most of my projects anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
