Trying out a new weekly thread idea.
This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.
@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
My next project is a set of 4 chairs for my gaming table. So far I've scaled down these plans because I find them excessively wide and deep for my taste. They're 2 inches wider and deeper than any other chair in my house, and those are all perfectly comfortable. I also don't trust pocket hole screws to hold a hardwood chair together, so instead I'll be doing mortise and tenon joinery for everything. The angled joint near the bottom of the chair is going to be a new challenge for me, but I'm looking forward to it. I suspect I'll cut it straight using a router, and then come in later with a chisel to take out the rest of that shallow angle. Especially since I plan on doing the tenons using a coping sled on a router table as that will be fastest and easiest, and I've got a ton of tenons to cut for four chairs.
Anyways, first step is going through all my offcuts from the table and figuring out what can be used for what. I still have 3 whole planks of rustic walnut left over as well. I may end up only needing some 6/4 stock from the lumber yard for the legs.
Did you post about your gaming table before? I’ve looked around a bit for pre-made ones but the prices are insane.
I did. And yeah, the prices are insane. Also the wait list is long. Took me three months to make mine, but I've heard of people on Wyrmwood's wait list for over a year.
Wow thanks for sharing, that came out great!
