B.W. Heaven...
Now B.W. can go uptown to shop! I built a second story and a staircase that he is still getting used to.

My new red chair, complete at last! I have materials for the next one which I'll probably start on tomorrow or in the next few days.

This is the adirondack chair I just finished building. It is now red and drying in the garage. This was a plan from sunset.com and my first chair ever to build. Its made entirely of pine which as far as wood goes, is just about the cheapest but I think it looks great and is relatively easy to work with...from a novice point of view. This was fun, I think I'll build another...

This is a chest that I made for our house. Currently it holds blankets that probably smell like stain...I just couldn't wait for the smell to fade before I put them in. Oh well, I'm sure it will go away eventually. Mainly I used scrap pieces of pine my dad got off a job this spring, and the stained portion is just plywood. Alltogether I probably spent more money on the hinges than I did on the entire box!

Lots of wood

I have discovered a new hobby in woodworking. This summer has left me with much boredom so I tried my hand at a little carpentry... not in the sense that my dad is a carpenter, and a very good one at that, but in the most novice sense. I began with a small water fountain for an art class, then moved on to house construction...for my guinea pig.
