An Attempt At woodwork..

I've never worked much with wood.. Ive done a little drywall, and a bit of framing, but never really was too interested in wood. 1 night, while talking to a friend...( thank you friend ) a conversation about me finally getting around to building a workbench in my garage, took a turn to what other projects i should try. after a bit of contemplating, we decided I would build a small tray table.and maybe a patio set.. So the tray table was first..



I showed the table off, and when talking to another friend( thank you other friend.. ) about it, She said She needed a new patio set.. soooo... i had my first patio set project.. but first, i had to build my bench...

The Making of the bench





And... the finished bench...






so after the bench, and before the patio set, i was asked to make a small shelf.. simple, but cool.



then on to the Patio furniture.. which turned out to be a bit more labor intense than i expected.. I learned quickly, a rough cut wood takes a whole heap of sanding, which took the most time..

Here is the unfinished chairs..









and the the set.. which was finished, tonight... clearcoated, and ready to go!






soo... whats next?? I think maybe a bedroom set... complete... headboard, dresser, and 2 nightstands... or maybe just more patio furniture... who knows...

    Oh yeah, I forgot to ask.

    Where are all your bikes? It looks like your wood is overtaking your motorcycles.

    Working with wood is an art, same as music, painting, drawing. anyone can work with wood, but to make projects like the patio set, or even the work bench, with all the little drawers, is a work of art.

    looking at your completed projects, you have that inert talent.

    very, very nice.

    Woodn't it be a Vice

    by The Birch Boys

    Woodn't it be nice if we were older
    Then we woodn't have to wait so long
    And woodn't it be nice to sand together
    In the kind of world where we belong

    You know its gonna make it that much better
    When we can lathe and stay together

    Woodn't it be nice if we could go cordless
    In the morning when the day is new
    And after having spent the day together
    Hold our rotary tools the whole night through

    Happy times together we've been spending
    I wish that every clamping jaw was never ending
    Wouldn't it be nice

    Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
    Man, then there woodn't be a single thing we couldn't do
    We could wave our woodies at wood nymphs
    And then we'd be happy


    You know it seems the more we talk about it
    It only makes it worse to live without T&A
    So lets talk about it and

    Woodn't it be nice

    PS- Outstanding work, me friend!!
