Yeah you got me!  :doh2:

I like it though.  :congrats:
I wish I would have known you had these abilities a couple years ago when I was looking for someone to custom build my two girls each jewelery boxes for Christmas.

Great work Glen.  :congrats: :congrats: The pens are a nice touch too.  :biggrin:
Pat

Thanks Pat!!  :biggrin:

:laf: @ Jim. The camera always adds 15lbs & it can also remove unsightly errors if the angle is right.  :laf: :laf:  I just play around a lot with this stuff is all. I'm hoping someday to be able to make 1 project from start to finish without any problems. I also see something I like then instead of going by the plans that are available I just wing it to make it my own. Maybe I should use the blueprints huh??  :laf: :laf: Thanks!!

Nice work.  It looks like a couple of Bright Wood Turning's pens in there.

Jerry

Thanks Jerry!! And you Sir are correct on the pen/pencil set!!  :biggrin:

AND a letter opener.  :eyebrow: :eyebrow:

The West wall of our dining room was the original outside wall of the house. Then they added the 3 rooms across the back & wrapped it around North side & built that old porch I tore off. Well they never took the windows out of the wall. The right window looked right into the bathroom. lol So I took the window sashes out & built a gun cabinet & installed it in there. Used it for quite a few years before I got the gun safe. When we remodeled the laundry/bath rooms right there I took the cabinet out & gave it away to an upstart hunter. I put a 2x4 in flat to catch the new drywall. I had an idea in mind that Diane accepted.  :whew:  I told her I wanted to put some 1/2" plywood in the back & along the sides,top & bottom. Then cover the edges & the remaining gap with some Poplar 1x3 & paint it to match. Then put some screws in so should could hang her Family pics. This is what I came up with. Still have to fill the nail holes & do some sanding. Then Diane will decide on colors & primer & paint it. Took a total of 6hrs this past rainy Tuesday. Coulda done it in 4 but why rush things on a day off in the middle of the week right??  :innocentwhistle:

Before.   obviously :rolleye:

An in the wall curio cabinet. I like it.  :eyebrow: The blue trim doesnt do anything for me though.
Now you need a glass door.
She's keeping you busy. There's a ton of stuff around here similar I need to get done :doh2:

Thanks Jim. Actually the blue doesn't look that bad with the antique white over the whole room. Besides I came home from work one day & it was all painted & I never lifted a brush once out there so I LIKE IT!!   :laf: :laf:  Yeah she does keep me moving a little bit.  :biggrin:    Now get busy & do those things that need doin!!  :yoyo: :yoyo:

I was going to say how much I liked the blue accent trim around the curio cabinet as it added a flare of highlight that touched of the new decor recently started in high fashion.  Then I read that it was pained over and though how great it was that Glen is now being back to being like the rest of us.    :iroll:

Jerry

 :laf: :laf: @ the high fashion!!

Looks good Glen :highclap: Your wife realy  keeps you on your toes doesnt she?  I wouldnt get anything done with out mine.

Thanks boss!!  :laf: :laf:   Yeah she always has something for me to do. But since I enjoy woodworking so much it's ok.  :biggrin: :biggrin:

Just a few more pics to hang & it's done. Not my colors. But it does look nice.

Nice :congrats:
I'm trying to make out the image in the walnut frame.  Is it an actual mirror, or a picture in there?

 :eyebrow: You tell me!!  :innocentwhistle:

It's a mirror.  :laf: :laf:

Here's another one. I made 2 of these & they turned out purdy nice I think.  The curl in the 1/4 sawn Ash really came alive with the stain & shellac.

That second pic is deceptive as "L".  Nice work :congrats:

Thanks Jim. I think the mirror pics are some of the best. I mean the image in the mirror that is.  :doh2:
