Keyholder Prototypes

Absolutely love this little fellow... The Grizzly turned out much better after I simplified the number of pieces. A-roooooo... I decided to make a few "painted" keyholders. This particular one will say, "Don't touch my Mon keys!" Bobcat. Can you tell what kind of fish they are? Top: Labrador Retriever Bottom: Wirehaired Griffon (pointer)

Hello! I'm thirsty. Can I have some water? Left to do: Put handles on cabinet doors on hutch. Put casters on the bottom. Another coat of varnish, and final polishing. Wow! Looks awesome.

Oak Desk Project: Part Two *Desk*

Yesterday (Saturday 21st) was spent labeling each piece of wood and identifying which sides would be facing out and up, and which pieces would be routed,  as well as which pieces would be inside, etc. Used a half a roll of painter's tape and scratched a new bald spot on my head trying to get the jigsaw puzzle together all the while keeping the Quality Assurance rep satisfied with my decisions. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it, right? Today, we started assembling the desk. The shell is, for the most part, complete. Tomorrow the fun begins with making the drawers, cutting and adding the trim, and hopefully have the drawer facings all ready for when the pulls arrive sometime Tuesday. Left front, where the CPU is stationed. From the backside. Shelf above the CPU. Without the flash! I set a screened tent up outside the shop to do my staining and varnishing. Pretty handy! Anyways, the slotted paper shelves on the right side are show...
