Shop night

Had a very productive evening in the shop. We finally finished a massive, oak dresser for Michael's friend Ron. It's been in the shop for 10 months getting incremental overhauls and I can't wait for the floorspace to be void of it's huge footprint.
Before adding the last drawer faces -
Inside of drawer -
Finished! (and ridiculously heavy!!!)-




In addition to checking that project off, we finally started Suzan's tilt-out trash can mentioned in an earlier post. The frame is complete and all of the trim has been cut. Needs some serious sanding, the drawer (to hold trash bags...), and the tilting section. Great progress and hoping to have a couple hours to give to it this weekend to move it along. Made some ad-hoc modifications to the plans to include the drawer and a more solid top than originally planned. All in all a very good night. :)

Materials before starting -
Frame in clamps -
Trim for the face -





Also, if anyone has seen my wife and son, let them know I love them and miss them! (they were out the door at 6 this morning when I was getting out of bed (exhaustion makes me sleep in occasionally...)and I haven't seen them since!)

Time for sleep!
