65 degrees in the shop today


Don't see this enough these days.  In reference to Made in the USA



Finished up the table I've been working on.  No screws or nails.  Put together with mortise and tenon joints and walnut dowels.





Some table process shots.  Hand-planing the table top. Table leg tenon. And Before and After hand cut butterfly inlay's.

Test run of my homemade Matthias Wandel Finger joint jig.  (www.woodgears.ca for the plans for this jig and a ton of other awesome stuff).  These are 1/4 in. finger joints and they ended up fitting perfectly together after I ripped this board.



In case you ever wondered what the inside of an old skool chaise lounge looked like.  This was one of the most uncomfortable pieces of furniture I ever sat on and after cutting it apart to see it's inner workings . . .well it all makes sense.



Cutting out parts to some table legs for next project.
