Popular Post Denette Posted June 11, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hello, everyone! It's been a good long while since I posted. Being a full-time teacher and first-time dad will do that to you. From January to March I worked on a white oak entertainment center, which can be seen in the images below. It was a pretty straightforward project with relatively few firsts for me. One fun first was that I got to do solid wood raised panels. I actually had to go to a friend's shop because my router wasn't big enough for the panel raising bit. Another thing I tried to do, but ultimately decided against, was a solid-wood adjustable shelf system. It's the image below of the zigzag-cut square dowels with a square dowel between them - you'll know it when you see it. The idea is that you can have adjustable shelves without metal, which is always appealing to me. Unfortunately, since this was for a client, I had to abandon the idea. Still though, very cool! I picked up the idea in an antique shop that had an extremely old french cabinet that used the system.Also, there's a picture of my son in a cabinet because he is adorable and I just can't get enough of my little apprentice. imgur.com/gallery/yRfZIu1 <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/yRfZIu1"><a href="//imgur.com/yRfZIu1">White Oak Entertainment Center</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
