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.

Yeah they did turn out nice.
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:
