Maybe I should post some of the things, I've made out of wood. Looks nice brother, an entertainment center?
On another note, cute PJ's.

I've done some woodworking myself in the past. Really nice job, brother.

Bronzesnake,
Brother John, that's a nice looking cabinet. I tried several times many years ago to build a few things, but I always hurt myself in some way every time I picked up a tool.
I did manage to do a few things right, but they all involved injury. If the tool was sharp, I got cut. If the tool was blunt like a hammer, I got blunt trauma. I eventually started picking tools that would cause the least injury.
Brother, you and your son did a good job.
Love In Christ,
Tom
Romans 8:26-27 NASB In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Yes, it's an entertainment center Bob. It's designed to hold a cable box on the top shelf, obviously the TV in the center. The bottom right top shelf holds the DVD - the lower shelf holds the antiquated VCR. The little lady wanted the large opening on the lower left for a basket which will hold Play Station games/DVD's etc.
I used to build cabinets, and furniture out of pine, oak and maple for a well known furniture shop up here called "Old Ontario House" This piece was actually origionally built by my son Mike, at high school about four or so years ago. It began life as an armour. It was huge, so we cut it down t make it narrower, and we reduced the depth also. Then we removed some shelves, and cut them into smaller shelves which are at the bottom of the piece. We also cut down the top plate, and routered it.
There were doors at the bottom, but being produced at a high school meant fighting for use of essential equipment such as planers, stroke sanders etc, so the doors were severely warped and very rough. We couldn't save them here at home because I only have a variety of hand tools here. We managed to get the piece looking decent with a lot of palm sander action, and old fashioned elbow grease with hand sanding! Mike loved that part!
I had to purchase some of the fascia you see on the edge of the 3/4 shelves, because the stuff Mike had was very poor quality, and ver rough without having been planed, or run through a jointer.
All-in-all, it was just a great experience teaching my son how to build, and use some of the tools we have here at home. The piece came out very nice, we were both really happy at the end, and we will be staining it this weekend.
Tommy, thank you my friend for the compliment. One of the tools you used in your career was far more dangerous than any hand tools you might have cut yourself with my brother, and you did a fantastic job with that tool Tom!
Thanks for the pj compliments everyone...I think!
John

I'll take a picture of the table I made 20 years ago for you brother. And post it here for y'all to see. I need to get off, so I can get the picture, and then post it brother. You only get to see half of it though as the other half has alot of my notes.

I don't have any pictures left of what I did. The last woodworking I did was before my house fire. The furniture and the pictures were completely destoryed. Now I don't have the space to set up the tools. I wish I did because my son wants to get into it too.

I am really sorry to hear tha Pastor Roger.
You're in an apartment now are you not?
That pretty much makes it impossible to do any largescale woodworking, but you could do some smallscale stuff my brother.
Hopefully, you still have enough tools to get into something smaller, because tolls are quite expensive aren't they? I have a pretty extensive tool collection. I'm always looking at yardsales for tools, that's a great way to pick up some really good stuf cheap.
In a few years, I'll take out a small 2nd mortgage and build a garage/workshop in the backyard. We do have a good sized back yard. Right now, I have a small shop in the basement that I'm useing for my oil painting and other hobbies. I have hundreads of my die cast toy cars down here...my wife doesn't really appreciate them like I do!
