Oo La La Deux

Today I piddly farted around and put the catches into the door frames. They are friction catches and needed to be mortised in. All turned out well there.

They hold the doors shut really well and look nice.

I had to take a break from the carving as it was killing my shoulders, not used to that hard work
So I decided to get French..
No! Not like that you sicko!
French cleats.

I milled up some slats to inset into the door frames with a lip similar to the back of the cabinet. This will allow me to move things around as I need to and put more frequently used tools where I can get at them easier.

I was thinking if I wanted to I could run a set screw up through the bottom to hold them securely in place.

I will design some fun holders to stick on there that hopefully go with the design.

I liked using the mortiser and square pegs to hang the spokeshaves so I tested that out on a scrap.

Oh, and I got finish put on the drawers.

I will get back at carving tomorrow and I am hoping to start the bench later this week.
Be safe and have fun woodworking.

Absolutely amazing. My plywood cases seem so…lame. Keep it up.

Once you get the table done to go with it, I wouldn't be able to get any work done just standing there admiring it. lol
You may need to build a good admirers chair so you don't get to tired standing there..

I like that idea. I have a chair in progress that will have some of the same curves.

Branching Out.

The cabinet doors are completed and have finish on them. I am very happy with how it turned out. I am still working on laying out where I will hang things in the doors and I think I might make some plates with my CNC that have some neat texture to them. They will probably be done as I can get to them. I have started carving the till frame and I should have about another day to finish it.

I have started to look at the plans of the bench that came with the set and reading back over the workbench book by Scott Landis and Schwarz's Workbench Design Book to start thinking about how this is all going to play out. I have some fun plans for the bench including a plank for holding chairs. I hope it turns out as well as everything else has so far.

So as the title of today's blog says I have branched out from this project. I received an order for a project plan for my hobbit desk build. This is not the first request I have had for this so I decided to take it on. I have been studying sketchup this year and I think I have learned enough to do it justice.

I have had other requests for plans to things I have designed over the years so if there is something that interests you let me know and I will see if I can add it to my list. I am thinking later this year I will put together a chair making DVD with plans and patterns to build two or three different styles of chairs. Let me know what you all might vote in.
The next branch I have decided to climb out onto is the youtube branch. I have a few short videos on youtube that to be frank are pretty lame. I have started a video on the remodel and it will feature the till and the cabinet. It will probably be followed up by maybe two more.

So there it is, that is where I am with everything for now. Big plans ahead. I am working on a few patents for tool designs, videos, sketchup plans and contemplating starting some online classes or dvd classes for chair making. Looks to be a busy year.

Take care everyone,
Be safe and have fun woodworking.

Do you have a link for your youtube videos? No one is going to think your videos are lame! You do some amazing work. Let people see it!

After viewing the compilation of your work in the first video, one can see that your constructed forms of chairs and furnishings, return rectilinear lumber back to it's natural, freeform state. There are no hard, sharp edges or even parallel surfaces. Organic comes to mind. I think your shop cabinetry pays homage to that idea, whether intentional or not.

Your work speaks it's own language. That is something only a true artist could achieve. I think one day woodworkers will be talking about building a Brian Noel chair or using Brian Noel details, like they do G&G. Bravo!

Blame it on Star Wars

Hello all, I haven't been keeping up with this blog very well this week. It is because I haven't had a lot to report. I have been trying to finish up the carving on the till, but it has been slow going. I might have to pull out some power carving goodies to get on top of it. I was hoping to get started on the bench this week and I may well get out the maple tomorrow to see if I have enough, I'm little skeptical about it. I might have to alter the design to accommodate it. One half of the till frame is done and it looks good, I can't wait to see that thing completed, but I have been tugged in twenty different directions.

I know I am supposed to be working like mad to get this done before I have a three month long wait list on orders again, but I had to take off Tuesday and go see that new Star Wars thingy. We don't have a theater in my town so we drove the 45 minutes to see it and took care of some errands while we were there.

So back on the farm we got an order for three sets of my candle stick holders.

So I milled up the wood to get those going and helped finish up the cane which is turning out well.

The only thing I did today to add to the big build was to play around with a chisel holder idea for the inside of the left door. I made a mock-up and got the measurements figured.

I have the 5 piece set of bench chisels form Stanley, but I am making slots for the eight piece socket chisels by either Stanley or Lie-Nielsen. Might be five years before I get them, but I thought I should plan ahead

I wanted something that would compliment the design and I haven't used my CNC for anything on this yet so I thought I would work something up.

I milled up some walnut left over from the drawer fronts.

Then I worked up a design I though looked nice.

The top will be the backrest of the holder and the bottom part will be the front that cases them in.

Then stick it in and hit "print"

I think it will work well and go with the design.

Thanks guys, talk to you again soon.

So I milled up the wood to get those going and helped finish up the cane which is turning out well.

The only thing I did today to add to the big build was to play around with a chisel holder idea for the inside of the left door. I made a mock-up and got the measurements figured.

I have the 5 piece set of bench chisels form Stanley, but I am making slots for the eight piece socket chisels by either Stanley or Lie-Nielsen. Might be five years before I get them, but I thought I should plan ahead

I wanted something that would compliment the design and I haven't used my CNC for anything on this yet so I thought I would work something up.

I milled up some walnut left over from the drawer fronts.

Then I worked up a design I though looked nice.

The top will be the backrest of the holder and the bottom part will be the front that cases them in.

Then stick it in and hit "print"

I think it will work well and go with the design.

Thanks guys, talk to you again soon.

I like that "bark at wood" My shop dog would appreciate that. It's is BearKat as in Bear and Kat, my name is Brian (my wife calls me Bear and here name is Kitty). Some people miss the cat silhouette in the logo. Wait till you see the first video, there is a brief shot of the dog at work. Thanks guys, hope the hangovers aren't too ruff on you. It is still just a Friday after all, go get some woodworking done.
Have a great day.

Blame it on Star Wars

Hello all, I haven't been keeping up with this blog very well this week. It is because I haven't had a lot to report. I have been trying to finish up the carving on the till, but it has been slow going. I might have to pull out some power carving goodies to get on top of it. I was hoping to get started on the bench this week and I may well get out the maple tomorrow to see if I have enough, I'm little skeptical about it. I might have to alter the design to accommodate it. One half of the till frame is done and it looks good, I can't wait to see that thing completed, but I have been tugged in twenty different directions.

I know I am supposed to be working like mad to get this done before I have a three month long wait list on orders again, but I had to take off Tuesday and go see that new Star Wars thingy. We don't have a theater in my town so we drove the 45 minutes to see it and took care of some errands while we were there.

So back on the farm we got an order for three sets of my candle stick holders.

Took me a while, after you joined, to 'see' the cat in your avatar, Brian. The CNC carving is beautiful. I do not think it is in sync with the rest of the project, though. It seems rather formal with the woven background. Just my two cents.
