Just dropping a line from the other side of the water. Don’t hear much from Holland in the woodworking scene. I have been watching The WoodWhisperer since the start and enjoying it very much. I decided that I wanted to do some woodworking. First I had to build a workshop, the wall hanging tool cabinet and bench before I could start, not to mention all the tools! In January 2011 I was ready to start, so I joined the Guild. My wife wanted the chest of drawers so of course I went and built the seven up storage. I really enjoyed making drawers with slips and all. Squareness and precision is everything. I do have some difficulties with this as the humidity varies from less than 20% to 100%. I find that I have to loosen up the fits.
In the future I want to build some drawers with a bow front or even in a S wave form. I would love seeing this included in a future project. I have the book Chest of Drawers- Bill Hylton. In this book it shows laminating in the thickness of the front, I am thinking about laminating in the high of the front with one of the laminates incorporating the draw pull, any ideas anyone?
beautiful. I am going to try something like the chest next
Wow Jim. I too really like purple heart. Very nice projects. Did you use plans or make them yourself. If you used plans would you mind sharing the source?
Gorgeous pieces!
i agree, beautiful contrast in colours (yes we spell it with a “u”) stunning pieces, nice job
Those look great! The purple heart/maple combination is one of my favorite. The contrast of the wood really makes for a striking appearance.
Jim, beautiful work. I particularly like the contrasts in the work and then of course the overall workmanship looks excellent. Great job! Thanks for sharing – quite an inspiration
This is really beautiful work, Nicely done !
I would love to see more pictures of your work.
I really like that. I enjoyed the mix of wood choice and of course the way you sloped the high dresser. Thanks for sharing!
Great job! I like the way you use to do it, gives me idea XD
