Entry Way Shelf

With some leftover walnut from the bookshelf project I put together a quick entry-way shelf with some coat hooks that were bought from Hobby Lobby.  The hooks are for my three daughters (red) and one son (blue-green).  Same finish as the bookshelves, multiple coats of Danish Oil.

Bookshelves - Part 4

Five coats of Danish Oil later...

Now on to the next bookshelf.

Bookshelves - Part 3

Gluing on the face-frame, again I need more clamps.

Custom molding

Molding installed with the first coat of Danish Oil.

Bookshelves - Part 2

Back panel glued on (I need more clamps!)

Fitting the face frame.  I am still figuring out how I want this to look so I haven't put the face-frame on yet.

All of the shelves are completed with a 1/4" thick piece of solid walnut glued to the front of each shelf.  The movable shelves were done with the Kreg Shelf Jig with only three holes per shelf.

Joiner's Mallet

I built this mallet based upon plans from Woodworkers Journal (Link) using Hard Maple and Walnut.  I had been saving a piece of Maple with some subtle quilting, which worked out great for the handle.  I finished the mallet with three coats of Danish Oil.

Stanley Bedrock #607

I was finally able to add a jointer plane to my collection, a Stanley Bedrock #607.  As near as I can tell, the plane was manufactured in 1922 and is in great condition.  The blade is about as sharp as a butter knife, but the sole appears to be flat, and with a little work I fully expect to have this beautiful piece of American craftsmanship tuned up like new.  Notice that the plane fits perfectly in my cabinet I built...this was intentional when I built the cabinet 5 years ago, I wanted to fit a #7 jointer plane on the bottom shelf!

Bookshelves - Part 1

I have put this project on hold, primarily because I knew that it would be a lot of work.  These bookcases will be 7' tall x 32" wide and will be made out of Walnut plywood and solid Walnut.  The case is joined together with 5mm domino's.

Getting ready for the first cut on the 4x8 sheet of Walnut.  At $130/sheet, this was a little unnerving.
