My wife and I commented about if we had daughters or young nieces that would be an awesome thing to do. That is some nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Trying wooden books. Maple faced plywood. 6mm thick, engraved 1mm painted black sanded then Danish oil.

A couple of bit made today.out of American black walnut. 35mm thick.

Playing with dovetails. Drawing in alpha cam . Put a flat end my mechmate to hold the material. Works ok but not pretty.

Very nice work, Andrew!!

Thanks Darren.
I'm working on all sorts of things.
Would like to cut portraits but not sorted that one out yet.
I've been working on chairs for the last five years.
I'm not fast that's for sure.
The adirondack chair has no screws or nails just wooden dowels and folds for storage.
The small chair is a chair I made for one of my granddaughters. Made matching tables.
got three granddaughters so have made 3 so far. Good for 1 to 3 or 4 year old.

Looks Great

Very nice work, perfect dovetails.

Nice work,especially the key.

Hi Andrew. I've just got to make a jumbo padlock .... lol
