Inlaid Spice Chest- WIP
My new project is inlaid spice chest that I found in some of the Popular Woodworking issues.
New table saw sled
Well, holidays are almost over, and I started a new project. My kid’s grandpas and grandmas are helping me a lot, as I need to prepare for Christmas festival in December. Several posts ago I was selling Proxxon table saw, I also have FET model, and I was going to buy Byrnes’ table saw after that. Well, I was too optimistic about that! At first, we moved to the new apartment, then all these sanctions and oil prices cause the horrible currency rate, and dollar price skyrocketed. Then I need some (hehe, some!) money for London trip. So Byrnes remains in my dreams only, alas.
But I still have FET, the only thing I didn’t have any jigs for it, and I need them badly!
My first must-have is table saw sled. This time I used acrylic and found a laser cut service that cut all the details I needed. I ordered actually three sets, but only one is assembled for now.
Acrylic 3mm and 10mm is used here.
Art Deco Tables
Well, it’s been a while since my last update on these tables. They’re done now!
The first one is with straw marquetry top, the table itself is made of walnut.
Маркетри. Из соломы.
That awkward moment when you think you almost everything about marquetry and here it is! Something new! Several months ago I was re-watching Cartier collection videos on Youtube with marquetry process and mosaics and somehow I came across another collection – with straw marquetry. I heard only about Chinese tradition of straw pictures before, but this time it was miniature version! And I really wanted to try it.
Видео про столешницы и не только.
С освещением в этот раз была беда, ну не хватает мне ламп! 🙂 Зато я немного лучше справилась с вопросом пояснений к видео, как мне кажется, буду учиться дальше. В этом видео показано как раз то приспособление для фрезера из предыдущего поста, так что все можно увидеть в действии. Ну и не забудьте переключить качество видео на 1080 🙂
Making circles with router
I’m all into these Youtube videos, making them is a very exciting process, so I totally forgot that my camera can make photos too! 🙂 So far, I made all the parts for the tables in art deco style. I needed to cut four perfect circles, so it was time to make one more jig (it was the third I think, previous jigs disappeared somehow).
You can make perfect circles in different ways:
- to be perfect at scrollsaw and cut everything by hand.
- Make a jig for a tablesaw.
- Make a jig for a bandsaw, but I think my Metabo bandsaw is too big for the scale.
- Make a jig for a router, which I’ll show.
The jig is very simple and it works. You need to take some scrap MDF piece and a brass nail, you hammer it into MDF, and basically this is it.
Sketchup для изготовления миниатюрной мебели
Ну вот, новое купленное приложение для записи экрана вроде работает, так что смотрите новое видео про Скетчап. Это не урок в прямом смысле слова, про основы работы не расскажу, но почему эта программа нам во всех смыслах полезна – покажу и расскажу.
Petit point rug – WIP
A small progress on a petit point rug designed by Nicola Mascall. One page is almost done (and I have 15 more!)
So far I made just one mistake and managed to fix it, the back is okay too 🙂
Ютюбное.
Воот, в блог лень писать, проще отснять на камеру 🙂 В этот раз уже процесс напиливания шпона
Majorelle armoire cabinet! Done, done, done!
I’m super happy that it’s finally finished, because I’m a bit tired of all these butterflies and leaves and curves, and want to move to something simple again. It was quite a job, but I managed to make it quite good. Overall, it was fun! I still need to make the inner frame for the central door to cover the “glass”, but it won’t take long.
