2017 Misc Projects

Sorry for the white balance, I accidentally left it on the cloudy day setting from when I used the camera at the coast.

The doors on the tool cabinet always bothered me, I used wood that was warped and the doors never closed right.  I fixed that this year as well as cleaned up the field with a cabinet where there was a lot of dead space.  The open shelves will soon be drawers.  I'm getting closer to being able to button up everything and run the leaf blower to blow out dust with impunity.

New saw horses Krenov style.  Meant to be disassembled.  The vacuum boom arm on the left.  This will eventually be the reference table I used to flatten the walnut boards for the dining table using a router jig.

A new japanese style toolbox/cabinet for my saws.


Each saw is french fitted, mostly worked, there are saws that still aren't right that I have to fix.  Used a lot of scrap, but maybe I used a piece that just wasn't mean to be.


Japanese style toolbox that I hung up for the drills and drill bits.  More of a opportunity to use some scrap afromosia than anything.   But nice to have a dedicated place for drills.

Stump footstool from our plum tree that fell down two years ago.  Fill all the cracks with a lot of epoxy, turns out they weren't fully dry yet and continued to open up in doors.

Never happy with the pergola.  This year, replaced all the lattice with painted material.  Also, reinforced the beams with angle iron.  Had to make a jig for the truck to carry home 14' pieces of metal.  Pretty sweet.

New years at Seaside

Sunny days at the Oregon coast on New Years at seaside.




Italy

We went to Italy for Reuben and Trent's wedding.  These are the photos are those taken outside the wedding. 

Lots of these cute mini cars around Rome.  In front of the Vespa museum.

Amalfi coast

Olympic

Labor day weekend we decided to fight the crowds and go to Olympic NP

Sunset on Hurricane ridge.  Watched a gorgeous sunset, saw lots of deer.  This was on the way out.

One way to the viewpoint of Cape Flattery.  Crowded, but that's to be expected.

Petroglyphs on the Ozette loop hike.


Glacier

Right after Peru, we saw the Going to the Sun Road was open.  We've been to Glacier a couple times, but missed the hikes that open when the road is open, so we decided to go.  On such short notice, campsites are impossible and we couldn't find a rental so we stayed in Whitefish, which worked out pretty good.


Sunset on the Going to the Sun road.  The electronic shutter on the A7RII means that I never have to worry about wearing out my mechanical shutter.

Highline Loop trail - one of the best hikes we've ever been on.

On the way to Hidden lake.

More on the way to Hidden lake.

Reclaimed Doug Fir barn door between the shop and Sarah's parking spot.  Used the domino XL

My many iterations of a sharpening station.  This time a cover so keep the dust out when I use the leaf blower

Much nicer with more surface area for stones and such

Little detail for the lid pull

Reclaimed doug fir shelf for sharpening supplies above the sharpening station and use of a portable work light
