Popular Post Woodworking_Hobby Posted May 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Been a while since I did a project journal and thought I would do one to capture my next two projects. Going to try and make the outdoor sitting bench from TWW site and the bit storage cabinet from TWW site. I decided to do both at once as when I get everything out to mill the lumber, cut parts, and make the joints, it seems easier and faster to do more than one thing at a time to save time on setting up the tools. I can use both of these projects around the house and thought they looked like some good skill builders that were not overly complex. Sounds like a double win to me. Going to do the benches in cypress and maybe the cabinet in cherry as I have some off-cuts around that will work perfectly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Those should be 2 good projects. I'm interested in how they go together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woodworking_Hobby Posted May 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Ok so made some progress over the last few nights. The Planer is crying and the trash can is getting full ;-). I also remembered why it’s important to cut out my rough lumber with a jig saw or similar as some of the boards were under a little tension and they released it when I was cutting them. No issues but I could see how that could cause a disaster on the table saw. For some reason the wood pile always seems to grown as I get it all cut out and start the milling process. Hope to be through the bulk of the milling this weekend and then can start working on the final milling for one of the projects. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree! Sometimes I think I just like the planning and thinking involved for a new project. It does not seem to be as fun when it starts to turn into actual work ;-). To your point it is worth the pain to push through and get to the fun at the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
