As mentioned in my previous post, I am working on a breadbox for my wife. I will make more updates as it nears completion. Today I finished the sanding, and decided to go ahead and start putting the finish on the box even though I haven’t started the door yet. The wood is maple that has some ambrosia figure to it. I got a pretty good deal on it from crlumber.com as he was trying to close out his remaining stock, and the figure was a bit limited. I am seriously thinking about making a trip back to get a little bit of walnut, as I am think the contrast in wood will really make the whole project pop out. I will post more pictures directly to the blog at some point. However, I am posting progress pictures via twitter. I have setup a twitpic event gallery just for the bread box.

Going Ons

Just wanted to make a quick update. I am currently working on a breadbox that my wife requested. This has been a winter project, which thanks to the mild winter I have gotten a more shop time then normal. I started the real work on it back mid-January and mostly have been working on it during the weekends. I will hopefully get a blog post up soon.
I have made a few updates to the blog itself. I have been using my twitter account a little more, and plan on posting pictures using twitpic. Check out the bar on the right, as it will display my most recent pictures and twitter posts. These may not always be woodworking related, but most will be. For example, there are pics posted of some house renovations that are going on, including a new roof, gutters and downspots, and few other repairs and updates.
I have been toying around with the idea of making more videos that may or may not drive some more traffic to the blog (and at the same time motivate me to make more updates to the blog) I don’t have a lot of skill with video producing and don’t have a lot of video equipment, so they won’t be by any means high quality. A couple video thoughts I have had is the process for making the tambor door I will be taking for the breadbox and the re-installation of the Micro Jig splitter on my TS. If this is something you would like to see, please post some feedback in the comments section of this post, as the feedback I get will influence how and when I post a video.
