Well i would say 30% through the next bedroom furniture project.
Bench for the end of the bed (out of shape need to sit to get my sock on )
36" length 14" wide 20" high
2x5 reclaimed barnwood
Cut to length
the fun part is deciding how to place each piece and what characteristics of each piece i want.
I have completed my dry fit.
Next steps -
- im going to plane down all the faces that are not exposed in order to get a clean fit.
- Next ive decided to use liquid nail
- light sanding
- tung oil
My biggest concerned was that i would have a project that would not need a new tool but i fixed that
Well i finally had time to complete my Bench that i started (minus one more coat of oil i think)
Below are some pictures. And also some of my leanings.
- The precision required to execute a simple design i found to be harder then i thought
- Keeping the natural beauty of the wood seemed to add a complexity that i didn’t expect
- i need to learn how to make more strategic cuts
- I love Liquid Nail
- When you do not use a joiner in combo with a planer you need to accept and embrace the dimensional variances.
- Move my planer to the garage, buy a joiner.
