      This is another thing I made. A rolling storage cart. Fairly simple, but what made it so much more simple to make was the use of the pocket hole Jig. One of the best things for fastening. All the screws are hidden because I did them from the bottom. There are 100 screws holding this together! D3025291-F188-4C1A-BBF8-FD0A1F12FB63.jpeg
      It is surprisingly strong and stable, too.

      How did you make the pocket holes? I would love to know.

        The CNC router is for me to make things like religious plaques and designs on cutting boards, etc. Those sell fairly well where I live.

        I want to start building furniture and such, too, but that is a different skillset than CNC.

          There is a kit available By Krieg and other companies called the pocket hole jig. It consists of a special drill bit for pilot holes, a guide so that the hole is made in the precise angle needed, special screws for this purpose, and a square head bit fitting the screw heads. The way the pre drilled hole is made allows the screw to be flush with the surface and will not be seen from the angle affords the strongest attachment by the way it goes into the side grain.
          There are various price points, but here is what one kit looks like.2158283A-5D94-4DCA-B3DB-FC46DC635D0C.jpeg

            The only woodworking I do is guitar related. My neighbor is a retired carpenter and is always looking for something to do, and has built me a few things out of boredom! Here’s the awesome vise bench he built me and bolted to the wall in about 3hrs! 😊34DFEC46-75A4-4FFA-B922-95B4855ADE95.jpeg

              Diving into woodworking with a CNC router is an interesting place to start. The real joy of woodworking (JMHO) is working with hand tools. I do have a good collection of power tools and use them to relieve the drudgery and hard yards of some jobs, but there's nothing quite like watching wood shavings peel out of a hand plane.

              Here's a long term project that's nearing completion - hand and power tools used, but not much opportunity for assistance from CNC gear...boat after turn over small.jpg

                    Good move building it outdoors. Many Are the stories of people who built boats in the basement.....are they true? Some of them, yes, I believe.
                    Nice job, so far. I would love to see photos of it finished.

                        Here is the cradle I made for our first grandchild. The Cherry wood was given to me by a very good friend who once baby sat for our daughter ( future mom of our grand daughter).
                        The tree was milled from her property. It had been struck by lightning. The cradle was m original design by myself. It has a lot of sentimentality to it...from many levels!

                            No measuring devices were used for the making of this cradle. It was organic, zen, visually driven creation. It all comes together by feel.

                                    @BigDub Yes, or Jerry’s Artarama, or Cheap Joes. Some of the best are branded “Best” and are made by Richeson. I have a rolling taboret that holds all my oils in drawers and my palette on top. It sure makes thing easier.

                                      @BigDub I would like to see a photo of it finished too 🙂 The photo was taken after it was dragged out of the shed and rolled over after the hull was painted. Sadly, I no longer have the luxury of a shed big enough to hold the beast as the property was sold after a separation. These days it is outside and as we head into our winter, I'm trying to get a layer of fibreglass onto the cabin and cockpit before it gets covered again.

                                      There is an interesting parallel (for me) between boat building and trumpet playing - ambition frequently outstrips ability and a work-around has to be found!

                                          I've always enjoyed working with wood. I have been piddling around with it for years. But when I retired my wife and I built a house in the country near where she grew up. After our contractor finished the shell we decided to finish out the interior. After much research I decided to make everything from rough cut sawmill wood. Except for some plywood that I used to build the cabinets. I made all the trim, interior and exterior doors, windows, stairs. I will post some pictures when I figure out how.

                                            and $2,500 of electricity to run the heater!
