Thread: What am I making?

Just like the title says, comment below if you have an idea of exactly what I am making?

Some might know this but, at one time I actually operated a custom woodworking shop. Over the years (and a move later), I simply never got around to doing a ton of woodworking. Primarily because my barn roof leaks (trying to rectify it one free screw at a time.. thanks to Steve) and I have to move my tools all over just to get at them.

This project has been eating at me for awhile. I'm to the point now where I don't have a choice. I have to get it started... and finished. The joys of woodworking are overshadowed by the project I am working on.

The boards utilized were all milled with my chainsaw last winter (I have since added a bandsaw mill). All lumber came off from my property. These are all 5/4 rough stock red oak.


Now to send them through the planner a hand full of times.


And I'm left with perfect 3/4 inch slabs


Now, to run the one reference edge through the jointer so I can get 90 degree cuts on my chop saw.


With a 90 degree reference face and the boards cut to lenth, I was able to rip them down on my table saw to 1/4 over the finished size.


Back to the jointer to get them to the final dimension and have perfect sides.


Sanding starts.


After sanding with 60, 100, and 150 grit, I am now ready for assembly. I will finish sand to 400 grit after assembly.


More to follow tomorrow. Until then, it will be interesting to see how close people are with their guesses.
