McGrew 460 #4 Posted August 12, 2018 I do a bit of woodwork myself, but wow, that is beautiful! What kind of wood is that, maple? Absolutely gorgeous work! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 58,797 #5 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Awesome stuff! I like to do metal and wood myself, but I’m more of a rustic type. The table in this picture used to be my late grandfather’s workbench. I built the rails and legs out if cedar fence posts. I’ve done a couple shelves around the house too, mainly with my chainsaw. Your work surely takes more talent and time! Edited August 13, 2018 by pullstart Typo 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machineguy 876 #7 Posted August 13, 2018 Great work! My grandfather was a furniture maker and finish carpenter. He made a lot of custom trim and mill work. I’ve got an old plane of his he loved that you might find interesting. It’s a Stanley from the late 1800’s my Pops called it a coffin and boat makers plane. You can adjust the beam to cut around radiuses. When he’d join custom trim that cased curved windows and doors he use it for that a lot making fine adjustments before sanding. It’s got the original japaning and finish just as it was last he used it. I’ll keep it and appreciate it till I’m gone. 6 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,331 #8 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Yes these are great tools which you can't find anywhere else anymore. Kind of like these tractors are very well-built and last a lifetime. I have tons of pictures and several pieces I have built which are all my babies! I have a thriving business here at the Tool Crib🗜 Edited August 13, 2018 by The Tool Crib 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,331 #9 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) I just did a re-glue on a piece that was late 1800s to early 1900s armoire. My next project will be a craftsman style rocking chair with leather seat and armrests. Edited August 13, 2018 by The Tool Crib 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,331 #12 Posted August 13, 2018 Thanx for the wonderful reviews on my work! I put heart and sole into each piece I build. Here are a couple more pics. One is a hall storage/seat the other is a Morris chair and ottoman made from black walnut and green leather. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,427 #16 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) I am on the Indiana State Tree Farm committed ( and have been on this committee for ten years) that promotes and educates landowners participating in the growing of hardwood trees. I am working at the Indiana State Fair today. The use , appreciation and growing of quality hardwoods is still a greatly appreciated activity by many people! It is always a pleasure to see quality items made from our American hardwoods! Thanks to Tool Crib for posting this.

The Tuul Crib 7,331 #17 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Thanx! I like to use reclaimed wood or now it's called repurpose. I look for fallen timber and leave a small foot print! My neighbor has 200 acres of woods of some huge trees. Some as large as 4 foot in diameter. Here are couple more pieces. A full size bed frame and a book shelf.

Pullstart 58,797 #18 Posted August 17, 2018 The other day working on the buggy, Jada my 10 year old was playing with a screwdriver and a scrap 2x6. Watch’a doin’ Honey? I ask.

Well I got no zebras, but I’m surprised that your nonsense is so close! It’ll hopefully feed some chickens more than 2 days! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
