Pedestals

I made these for Mom's gallery.

They need to be painted but it shows 5.

Now 4.

Both of the ones on  the far left can go inside the bigger one once it is turned upside down. It just gives another option and more dimension if needed. They can also be used as fancy trash cans upside down.

The 2 on the right of first 2 pictures can also be go either way. If you want a flat display shelf, keep it that way. If you want a shelf to contain things, then choose that way.

Art Cart

I built these little art carts. They really aren't little. They are about 16"x16"x36" overall ht with casters. I painted the m with a mistinted color. I saved money that way. They are built out of 1x material that I ripped to size. The ahelf sides are 3-1/2" the corners are about 1-1/2"/ It is all glued and screwesd and sanded and sanded and sanded. I am really proud of them. I plan on making another style out of a sheet of plywood. I want to do a video of that and will post when made.

and cedar planters

Below are planters made of cedar. I used 1x4's and the bands are cut down 1x4's. The bigger boxes have cypress siding. Neither will rot very quickly. I sold one of the middle sizes already and hope to have another sold this week. Time will tell.

Little Jewelry Boxes

I like making little boxes like these. These are made of walnut and coated with polyurethane.
I take the same size pieces but one of them I split in half. The thickest one has a large hole drilled in it and a small hole for the pivot dowel.. I drill the top piece at the same time as it is attached to the middle thick section. I sand then glue and clamp the bottom blank on the thick middle section. After it dries, I sand again and make sure dowel is set correctly and glue that into top. Sand some more. Once I am satisfied with everything, I coat with polyurethane.

even more boxes

These are probably my favorite boxes so far. I made them for me and my brushes and pens. They are made of black walnut. There are holes in the wood. There is bark. The corners are simple and glued. The wood has a beautiful texture. I used spray lacquer.  With all the flaws, they are perfect for me.

And more boxes. I have plenty that need to get a coat of polyurethane. I also have some cutting boards that need to be finished. I hope to do them later this week or next. I will be going to the flea market to sell some of the crates and cards if it isn't raining that day. I will take a couple of paintings too. Who knows, .maybe someone will want to buy something.

Pochade box

I am working on a video for the pochade box. This is the first one that I have made. I will post more stuff later on, like size, etc. I will post a few pics from beginning to end.

It will hold 2 9x12 panels.

more little things

These boxes will be nice looking once I get them finished and coated with polyurethane.

And which way should the shelf go?

I prefer the last one but the first one works for me too.
