2012 Dec - Going insane before heading to Vietnam

Pretty nervous about heading to Vietnam for the first time.  Used the nervous energy to use and built a bunch of stuff for the woodshop.



A homemade Sysport underneath the hand tool cabinet.  Also note the cyclone that the Festool CT-22 parks/connects to which is fed through a homemade boom arm.  I can pay in arm and a leg for Lie-Nielsen - but I just can't seem to pull the trigger for comparable Festool stuff.

A English Try square plan and saw till I got from Pop woodworking and from reading Chris Schwarz's material for so long (note the bench, the tool cabinet, saw bench, saw till, and tool rack)

A sharpening pond - my smaller version of one that I saw at the William Ng's website.  Note the maple is from resawn end grain glue ups. 4 different kinds of wood used and a scrap piece of plywood from the old garage that I couldn't throw away!  Now that is frugal!

Also built a cutoff rack underneath the outfeed table and a spindle sander/compressor rolling cabinet (not shown).

Shaker step stool mostly done by hand - a plan from Fine woodworking

Serving trays from cutoffs that I couldn't throw away.  Note the end grain glue up.  A bit clunky for a serving tray - but I couldn't just plane the thickness away!

Finished live edge coffee table.

Sarah's sewing station I did in the spring.  Used the Fuji Semi-Pro 2 HVLP right after I did the Vespa.  I hate painting furniture.
