It’s been slow going, but I think I’m getting close to done with this project. Have to scribe, paint, and install the bookshelves, and then it’s on to drawers and cabinet doors.

I always appreciate help from my shop assistant!
I’ve been really enjoying this built in project so far…we’ll see if I’m saying the same when it’s time to install drawer slides and cabinet hinges 😅
My brother-in-law and I are starting a new project; we're rebuilding, restoring, and flipping cars (and just about anything else). Our first project is a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

Finally finished the dining table last night! All Ash, finished with Rubio Monocoat “smoke”. Now to decide whether I want to try and make matching chairs…
I made a pop-up card that spins as you open it!
It uses a geometric mechanism invented by an unknown student at Musashino Art University in 1988! Instructions here: http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/a-nishi/popup_spinner/z_popup_spinner.html
Haven’t had too much time to work on the table, but the base is fully assembled! First time doing “real” mortise and tenon joints (on the legs)
First time cutting mortises with a router—so satisfying!
The sawmill had some older 3x3 pieces of ash that I’m using for my table legs. So satisfying to mill these up.
It’s beginning to actually look like a table!
