I have no shop, but my parents' neighbor has an old shop out back he built after he retired. He lost all his retirement when the market dipped so it's set silent for years. He sold most his tools, so all I have access to is an old craftsman saw with a fence that shifts 1/16-3/32 from tip to tail when you clamp it and a planer I purchased recently. Oh, and a skill saw with whatever 60 tooth blade was in it when I dug it out of the basement - so don't mind the burn marks on the cross cuts. *cough* (I found a blade more suited for the task, so no more burns)
I promised my brother and his wife I'd make them a piece of furniture when they purchased their first house at the beginning of the year. Well...I'm finally getting to it, but with such limited tools/quality and no real experience it's taken me 2 weeks to get this far.
It's about 40 bf of what was supposed to be FAS maple that was pretty rough (as you can see on the 8/4 pieces) and 4 bf of padauk. The objective to have it finished by Thanksgiving so I can bring it across state when I visit them.
I was going to post a bunch of pictures, but I know they'd be over-sized and most don't like that and I don't know how to adjust it. So here's a link to a small album.
