johnbinva Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I was off work for about 7 months last year. Company I worked at for the last 8 years filed chapt 11 in March and it took awhile to find a fit. In the meantime I got some woodworking done! My sister who lives in rural NE Pa had a couple of trees taken down 2 1/2 years ago. One was a fairly straight white oak I got about 120 bd ft for $85 in milling costs! Some of it potato chipped but i got some good flecking too. She wanted a new widesreen TV and I had previously made her an oak coffee table and mantle for this room. This was before I adjusted the doors and added a back and adjustable shelf. First time for me doing rail and stiles - had to buy a bit set since what I inherited from my dad was a one piece deal i could not get setup correctly. Carcass was ply rest was 3/4 milled stock from 4/4 mill white oak. BLO and then poly for finish. And the top needed to be attached/secured. I used slotted screw technique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
