Inlaid Spice Chest- WIP
My new project is inlaid spice chest that I found in some of the Popular Woodworking issues.
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.
Ютюбное.
Воот, в блог лень писать, проще отснять на камеру 🙂 В этот раз уже процесс напиливания шпона
Ручной электроинструмент для миниатюрной мебели
Новое видео, теперь про электроинструмент, кратенько и по делу.
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.
Вторая часть видео про ручные инструменты для миниатюрной мебели
Вторая часть видео про инструменты, тут я немного накосячила с фокусом, извиняйте. Сейчас уже разобралась, в новых видео буду исправляться.
Новое видео на Youtube.
Пятница! Самое время, чтобы посмотреть мое видео про ручные инструменты для миниатюрной мебели. Долго собиралась его сделать, но руки дошли только сейчас. Видео получилось сделать в двух частях, пока ловите первую.
ЗЫ. Первая часть у меня в HD качестве, так что советую поменять настройки в Youtube 🙂
Miniature Collector
Surprise, surprise! The roombox in the latest issue of Miniature Collector:
Third publication, first in US. As for me, I’m still sort of struggling with my marquetry project, I’m on Hinges stage right now, but the progress is slow due to real life things. ((
Carving and needlepoint
I finished marquetry panels and started carving central door ornaments. Last time I made my own pear plywood – and what was I thinking? Especially with boxwood veneer I had. This time I decided to use boxwood. And I love it! It’s such a great wood, no excuses . I hope to finish carving tomorrow and then I’ll stain it and glue to the door. I’m quite happy with the details I’ve got now, hope that result will be even better.
As for something different – I got this beautiful pattern from Nicola Mascall , when I saw it on Facebook I fell in love with this carpet, the colors are magnificent! I promised to myself earlier that I’d never do needlework again, I wanted to work on my bobbin lace mats, but with my baby girl it is quite difficult, she love the bobbins too much. I guess I’ll wait till she grows up a bit. Besides, this beautiful carpet, OMG! I couldn’t help myself! This is my first time stitching with Madeira, quite happy about the result and the back is not bad either! 🙂
First marquetry panel
I didn’t expect that just one panel would take so long. But considering the fact that I have only 3 hours a day (except weekend), it’s not surprising. The new panel is on the left, the old one is on the right. IMO, the new one looks much better. I changed the veneer background, color of mother of pearl, etc. And overall, I see slight improvements in my skill level.
Next week I’ll start the next panel.
