Popular Post Chet Posted March 22 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 22 By the time we came up with the idea to build this small turntable stand/record cabinet as a Christmas gift, it was too late to get it done by Christmas. But as it turns out that was a good thing because when we gave my son in law a gift wrapped scrap of wood and told him what it represented, he asked if he could observe to whole build process. I was more than happy to have him in the shop but it did add a few twists to the process. It's a little bit of a challenge to do all you thinking plotting and planning out load. The other thing, it has been a long time since I worked on a project where my work time was dictated by days off, his not mine. He was surprised to find out that the only mechanical fasteners were six screws and six figure 8's to hold the top on. Made from Cherry, here're a couple of pictures. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is SIL toying with the idea of getting into woodworking? No he is more of a car guy, he is looking for a 1967 Chevy Blazer for a project vehicle. Both of the SIL's are car guys. The interest in woodwork lives in the female side of the family. I have helped with big projects with my two grand daughters and my oldest daughter 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmahayes Posted yesterday at 12:07 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:07 PM That turntable stand/record cabinet sounds like an awesome project! It's cool that your son-in-law wanted to be part of the build process. Having him in the shop must've added some extra fun to the mix, even if it meant adjusting your usual workflow. And hey, using only six screws and six figure 8's for the top? That's some impressive craftsmanship! Plus, cherry wood? Sounds like a classy choice. Speaking of gifts, I got my friend a custom tapestry recently, and it was a hit. Just adds a unique touch to any space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
