Practice make perfect.

>Had to make seven of these to find out it is a difficult task. Library Table was another Ok project and yes that is a Stanley 45 sitting on a portion of my stereo.

>Great job. Looks like you must have nail it on the first one, unless you're hid'n a couple more.

VERY nice

>The quarter-sawn oak one (that is oak, yes - on the left?) and the two that look like curly maple are especially pretty, in my opinion. A simple piece like this can handle wild wood.

>I made a few of these pipe boxes for Christmas presents last year. They are a bit of a challange. Mine were rif saw oak.

Besides the oak and maple ones what are the others made from?

I too would like to see some more of the table.

Well done!

>Impressive grouping of pipe-boxes, David. Wood selections makes a huge difference to a small project like this. My neice and I made a pair of these a year or two ago and they were a fun project.

>Somehow I cannot make the picture small enough to go here. I used to be pretty good with PCs and DOS. Now I try to spend more time in the workshop. Go to Woodnet and look for Djchurn as a poster and you will see all in the frame. The woods used on the pipe boxes are Qsawn Red Oak, Red Oak, Birds Eye/Curly Maple and Walnut. I do not own a scroll saw and these took some practice to make on the Band Saw.

The Library Table is entirely Qsawn White Oak I purchased from an Amish Sawmill 45 mile south of Cleveland.

Thanks for your interest.

>A USB turntable! A friend of mine was talking about this the other day. He bought one, and will be putting it to use with his system when it all gets to Washington state early in August. He just retired as the chief propeller head for one of the school districts tech programs.

Comes with some very slick software for matching speeds and filtering noise issues from old records... Under $200. Well under. Maybe even at Costco, too.
