These TV trays is what I was making this month in the shop.
The woods in the TV tray tops are quarter sawn Shedua/Ovangkol as the center with 1/4" of figured Maple and the outer edges are Canary wood.
There's a small amount of Purple Heart as part of the mechanism instead of the customary metal used in trays.
The legs are American Walnut and the finish is Conversion Varnish.
The 5th tray is for Jane's sewing room.
We will save the old store bought trays to use with the teardrop if the need arises.

Very nice work Danny.

Thanks

[Greg M-TNT]

There goes Danny again. Taking a perfectly humble object and classing it up to the point of art

 

[halfdome Danny]

That was a very kind complement Greg.
Thank you Danny

 

[MtnDon]

Those are very nice Danny. Very nice indeed!


I made a box just before Christmas, just because I felt like it. I gifted it to my wife. It joins some other wooden things I have made.
(purpleheart, padauk, osage orange and something brown from the scrap collection, plus glue)

Just finished restoration of a 1972 Honda CL350. No power, bad brakes, horrible suspension....but you got to love the chrome!

 

[halfdome Danny]

Thanks Don, I like your box, well executed.

Speaking of boxes my wife Jane has made a few herself and will start spraying lacquer on the 4 in the second photo tonight.
It takes a lot of patients fitting and refitting all those angled pieces.
She has fun, even though she will complain it takes too long.
The piano keys are a butcher block but anyone in their right mind would never use it for that.

My neighbor said today going for the mail is the highlight of his day.
He needs a hobby, especially during this pandemic.

Those boxes are quite good.
Better than many I've seen with their fit and symmetry.

Nice. Very nice.
3 hp more than my 500 single Yamaha, so not too bad power-wise really.

Before I created the sawfish foam kayak design, I built a fleet of these out of plywood, they're a free design called the mouseboat. The mouseboat was created by a guy in England called Gavin Atkin.

I liked it so much, I built one out of foam before I built my foam teardrop.

I wrote a set of instructions on how to build a foam mouseboat https://www.instructables.com/Seafoam-Kayak-the-Unsinkable-Foam-Kayak-Anyone-Can/ and published them. Almost 20 have been built all over the world.
This one from eastern Europe was the first one based off the instructions

I currently know of almost 100 Sawfish kayaks that have been built from my free instructions https://www.instructables.com/Sawfish-foam-kayak-build-a-funtional-light-wieght-/

my 35 pound 16 foot tandem sawfish
We've enjoyed many trips with our family fleet

Nice!

This may become a future project for us. Thank you for sharing!

Danny,
Tell Jane “Well done”. That kind of fidly marquetry takes skill and patience. Probably why I never tried it

 

[halfdome Danny]

Thanks Greg, Jane is a stickler for getting things right and I'm proud of her.

I've been putting my clothes in plastic drawers for sometime now so it was time I built me a couple dressers that fit in our walk in closet.
The woods are the same that I've used in the rest of the furniture in the house.
The 16" deep Sapele drawers are push to open, push to close.
The larger one is 36" wide and 48" tall.
The Canary wood is getting harder to find and it went up $4 a board foot.
Had to drive to Portland Oregon to get just 3 wider boards for the drawer fronts and 3 times to Seattle.
I didn't want to pay about $200 for a 3/4" sheet of Walnut plywood for my ends so I made raised panel ends that probably cost as much .
Like always, I drew them out full size on a sheet of cardboard before buying or cutting any wood.
Portland was the farthest I've been since this pandemic started, felt free for a day , get my second vaccination tomorrow,
Danny

Wow.

Built some speakers for myself. Originally planned on a Klipsch Heresy knockoff but 3-ways are tough to design for (sound wise). So I went 2-way instead. JBL titanium compression driver and Dayton audio 12" pro woofer.
