Re: Steps Jewellery Box

That is totally awesome! I wish I knew how to line a box like that.
Brilliant!
Is that real suede or is that ultrasuede?

Re: BischoffBoatworks is finely operational

Awesome! I live in Seattle as well. I would not mind checking out your shop in person sometime. If you need an extra set of hands sometime let me know.

Re: morris chair

Cool set up. Is that lamp shade solid wood? How did you make it?

Re: Craftsman King Bed

Nice!
Sanitize the electrical cords behind the nightstands and then it will be a perfect picture. Just my two cents, for what it's worth.

That's a good looking bed!

Re: Tim's easy chair

Genius.... How much would you charge for one of these?

Very clean and well proportioned.

Iv'e been thinking about building a clock. Thank you for the example. Where do you get the continuous sweep movement?

Re: Threesome of Living Room Tables

Good job! That looks like something I would do. Do you use this in your home? if so how is it working?

Re: Ebonized White Oak Table

That is really nice! Is that lacquer over the stain. I would like to make a table like that.

Re: James Krenov: 1920 - 2009

I remember coming across his book at the library one day back in 1997. I was looking around for good hobby. I took the book home and thumbed trough it. I returned it to the library when it was due and then, after a couple weeks went back and checked it out again. It was the Fine Art of Woodworking, the hardcover edition. I would over the next couple of years check this book out off and on, thumb through it and think of how fun it would be to be able to do this kind of work. One day I stumbled across some information in a magazine about the College of the Redwoods and how Krenov taught there. I called the school and an older sounding man answered the phone and after I talked with him for a while I asked, "is this James Krenov". "Yes it is" was the reply. Wow! what an honor to speak with him. He told me that if I had the time that I should come on down to the school and have a look around. Two days later I drove there from Seattle. It is one of my most memorable trips and the conversation I had with Krenov is one that I will always charish.
Thanks Jim

That is really nice. I've often thought of doing something like that.
