Same one as i have been planing at the start of the year for the last 5 years. A macassar Ebony tambour sideboard. Hope im not repeating this at the same time next year:rolleyes:
Having made a box that only a mother would be proud of (luckily it was for my Mum), I might have a go at another.

As this is the year I get married to Domino, plans are ambitious:
A bedroom suite, including headboard, dresser, vanity, and two bedside tables
A jewerly armoire for my stepdaughter
A large storage cabinet for my aunt's new condo
A hall table for our foyer
Get the shed organized (again) :o
Wonder how many I'll actually get done? :rolleyes:
A redgum entertainment unit using mostly re-sawn recycled Redgum.
Some shop-made hand planes and mallets.
Get around to completing my Vacuum Press so I can get into some serious veneeringhttps://www.ubeaut.biz/FIREdevil.gif....cool

First-up is a very well furnished, double storey dolls-house for my GD. She's not yet three years of age, but EVERYTHING must be in place, includiing a toilet bowl - ":o Where does ?? do poo Pa?", "Where is the laundry Pa?".
Major project is to gain approval for a new TS from SWMBO, from the WWW show in March. After that, it's all easy!
I have 4 figured Myrtle serving platters to make for my Ma & sisters, which must be finished by March.
I spoke just last night to a bloke that will be milling some 2" blackwood boards in the new year for me, ready for SM's Rocker (2 yrs away, that!). I might make 2 and sell one.
Nesting tables for MIL and 'er indoors
Roll-away beds for under the nippers beds. These will have big dovetails, so must start practicing.
I might get hold of some Jarrah and domino up a big square outdoor table and benches. The Indonesian stuff is an insult to the beautiful illegally logged rainforest Kwila. DAMHIK :mad:
I think by that time it will be Chrissy again.:)
2007 Should be huge - I hope.
First of all finish this pool that has consumed 2006 :rolleyes:
Then would very much like to get a large drum sander and domino - depends upon how much overtime i do early next year :o Have to balance that with demands and enjoying the family.
Projects planned are a dressing table for SWMBO and a large dinning table - both made from redgum burl slabs i got some time back whilst out west and some feature stuff in the dressing table made from the myrtle I bought recently.
All good - except the overtime - have to finance the toys somehow.
You think?? Hmmm what does it mean.Quote:

Nothing! I am most reluctantly being dragged away from my shed for 2 weeks of "camping", no shed, no tools, no nothing!!!!!
I was thinking of taking a whittling knife and some sandpaper with me but that will almost certainly annoy the other people we're going camping with. I might just have to bring some woodworking books away with me.
I'm going to be setting up my shed. :D https://www.ubeaut.biz/woohoo.gif
Yep, it's gonna be a happening thing, once the shed is up, it will be time to finish the silver ash and jarrah workbench, setup the plane shelf - loosely based on Midge's and Derek's setups and all the other fun stuff you do when setting up a playroo.... Shed :D

Take a bowsaw on yer camping trip,
never know what you'll find
Well I had all intents on making a table after I had finished building an avairy and a few other backyard projects.
But SWMBO has just fallen pregnant so I will be attempting a rocking chair to start with. Is a fair sort of first project but I will give it a go. Been told all other projects are off the cards after the avairy until the rocker is done.
I cant complain as it gives me the chance to buy a bandsaw thicknesser and if im really really lucky maybe a domi. The rocker will be a labour of love tho... lots of hours.
After that most likely a crib if I have enough time to finish it.
I would like to have time to try and organise my carport and build a bench as I am really getting sick of working on the concrete floor. Maybe if Im good santa might let me...
Merry xmas to all and hope you have a nice relaxing break.
Shane.
