Started by making the end table legs: milling, cutting to size; cutting mortises; cutting tapers; roundovers on edges, bottoms
I've placed the partly-done grandbuddies' dresser project into hibernation for a little while (will come back to it), and I've started on my next new project:
A pair of living room end tables for some good friends of ours. :)
The end tables will be a simplified adaptation of some chairside tables they found at a furniture store.
Initial steps - design; plan material and cut list; procure the lumber; & cut down into rough part blanks.
Here we go!
For the grand-buddies' dresser project:
Built the carcase, installed drawer dividers, and attached the side leg assemblies. Starting to look like a dresser now!
(Cameo appearance by helper grandson E :) )
I finished a shaker end table that I'd made for some friends a couple years ago.
Sanded with 120 and 180 grit, applied some whitewash stain, and put on a few coats of water based poly.
Follow-up to Grampa's Workshopalooza...
Completed the assembly and finishing of the special treasure boxes (Shaker candle boxes) for the MI and MD grandbuddies!
Starting a new project here at PVWW - a children's dresser for some of the little grandbuddies. :)
We procured all the lumber, then milled up all the blank pieces for the legs and side panels.
Here we go!

Grampa's Workshopalooza 2024!
We had a very enjoyable few days with a visit from the GA and western MI grandchildren, including this time in the shop building "special treasure boxes". :)
The grandbuddies and grandgirlie did a terrific job! Thanks very much to the Daddies, Mommies, Uncles, Aunts, and Granny who pitched in and gave a lot of help and encouragement!
(And grandbuddies J, J, and E from MD and eastern MI - so sorry you were not able to make it here this time. But we have your kits all ready to go the next time we're together!)
