Day 1 of attempt 2 of my octagon tray. Today, I cut all my work pieces and mitered the edges for the frame. I made some really nasty cuts on the miter saw, some less nasty cuts on the table saw (but still pretty bad), and then got some advice from a veteran #maker. He clued me in on several proper crosscutting setups for the table saw (the one I chose is pictured here,) and I was finally able to get nice clean miters. The frame is all cut up, and next step will be the long, careful process of the frame glue-up.

Another fancy #woodworking project getting under way! I can't remember if I shared about this already, but I've been working on it for a while. This is a west elm inspired project, and I want to build the final product in black walnut. I made one attempt in "common board" but the corners did not come out perfectly. So, another mock up is in order! I made some updates to the dimensions, and will start a second mockup in "select pine" this week. Everything has to be perfect before chopping up my very pricy black walnut

Well, I cranked this project out in two days at the maker space. Here's the finished product!

Plans for my cedar plant bench are coming together. Can't wait to start this project!

Ugh why not a standoff though 😭😭😭 imagine if this shit ended like Scarface it would make life so much more worth living

POV you live in Montana rn

Had a fun day at the shop today figuring out this jig. All that's left for this mock-up is to sand, glue, paint, and add hardware. I'm one step closer to my black walnut serving tray 🤩

I made my first thing! A nice shadow box. Hit a few snags along the way, but it's (mostly) square, and should be a fine way to display old server's main components. 🪦💐

I mean that's kind of a shill for the Chevy, no?

Ok, sure whole foods, but we're the birds given Amazon prime access?

I feel as though the rules have been violated here

Took a trip to Canyonlands National Park over the weekend, and it was amazing! I highly recommend.

Also looking for help identifying the bush pictured here. I liked the look of it and it looks so green despite the super low moisture in the area.
