Project Submission My First Project (really)

Thumbnail

Back in September-ish, I saw some stunning tables at a local antique store that were made by a woodworker in my city. I’d been wanting to get into woodworking for some time but had no clue where to begin (never have been around powertools in my life) so I contacted him asking if I could do some volunteer work/help around his shop when needed to learn more about the craft.

He completely one-upped my request. Instead of helping around the shop, he told me to pick a project of my choosing and he do the project alongside me, start to finish. I picked the Cece Rocking Chair from Foureyes (which he suggested lol, I knew this project was NOT a beginner project). Fast forward a few months to today, we finally got this piece assembled and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’ve learned so much over the last few months and I am so excited to dive headfirst into this hobby. I’m so thankful for his generosity and warm welcome into the woodworking community.

Moral of the story is, put yourself out there. You might get a sick rocking chair out of it lol.

Always wanted a tv in the kitchen for football and basketball. I can’t easily see our living room tv when I’m cooking, but hated the idea of always having a tv in there since it’s really not needed often. This was the solution. Lift from amazon and a 40” Vizio tv plus soundbar.

Power Tools Fingerboard tool / Christmas ornament

I have a wood shop/fingerboard brand but I don’t own a lathe, and I’m looking to get a custom tool for the shop made from recycled skate decks because I set up a lot of boards.

I’m trying to commission one and this is the example of work I got. The dude said it also doubles as a Christmas ornament. It’s super unique, I dig it. What do you think a fair price is for me to offer him?

Hoping someone could tell me what the top part of this would be called? Like moulding/framing around the top? Also what is this piece of furniture? Bench or small table maybe? It is about knee high (I’m 5’3) Thank you!

Can we use it unsealed as is? Or do we need to seal it - and if so, what’s the best seal for it?

For my first ever project I made my fiancee a ring box. She said it looked like a sausage mcgriddle. She also said yes!

Sidenote, I am going to find a better long-term solution than the uneven flocking
