My first solid wood breakdown stool. These are now available for sale on my Etsy store. This one is from oak. #cnc #nextwaveautomation #oak #oakwood #guitarstool #breakdownfurniture #woodworking #woodwork #woodwork #wood (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBQWqwvmh1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The solid wood stool all routed and ready for final sanding… #cnc #nextwaveautomation #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #guitarstool #breakdownfurniture #oak (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChStpX1Pjuz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Testing creating a solid wood version of my breakdown stool. It’s a lot more labor than the plywood version so would end up being a lot more expensive (material cost alone would be much higher depending on the wood species). If there is interest I’ll work out some cost options and add it to my Etsy store. #cnc #breakdownfurniture #oak #stool #guitarstool #guitarstools #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNXmdapwF5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Three new kitchen knives of my own design. We’ll see if @connie.neil like them when they’re done. If they turn it well I might start making them to sell. These are made from 1084 steel and are a little thicker than the steel I’ve used before. Once they’re shaped and ground smooth around the edges I’ll harden them in the forge before adding bevels. #knifemaking #knifemaker #kitchenknife #kitchenknives #1084steel #1084 (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CduByY6pjhQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two stools fired up in one night. I must be getting better at this… #cnc #breakdownfurniture #breakdownstool #guitarstool #plywoodfurniture (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcPKAhiLPAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another stool getting ready to go to its new owner. This is the first time I’ve done laser engraving on a customer project. The customer is going to use this in their nursing home music ministry so I’m very happy to give them a little extra on this one. #cnc #guitarstool #breakdownstool #breakdownfurniture #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #wood #birchplywood #orturlasermaster2 (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_u2LYriO7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The full engraving as a test for final client sign off before I engraved the seat itself… #isaiah4031 #laserengraving #laserengraved #laserengrave #orturlasermaster2 #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #guitarstool #breakdownfurniture (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CboDvBhvXdh/?utm_medium=tumblr

A stool customer wanted a Bible verse engraved on the stool’s seat. This is my first time using the laser for a customer. #orturlasermaster2 #isaiah4031 #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #breakdownfurniture #guitarstool #guitarstools (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cblo2VPJrOW/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m getting better at tuning the parameters for doing laser engraving. Next I’ll tackle laser cutting though on thinner material… #ortur #laserengraving #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cap7fOYPWGb/?utm_medium=tumblr

I got this great new tool for the shop from my wife @connie.neil for my birthday. It took a little effort to assemble but I think it’s going to a great creative option for my work. #orturlasermaster2 #ortur #laserengraving #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaoOv6zri34/?utm_medium=tumblr

This heat bowl is for @heatherleigh — she doesn’t know about it yet… (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLfGYPpfKE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another year, another wooden Valentine for @connie.neil … #cnc #woodenheart #craftvalentines (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ-tdDWpL7x/?utm_medium=tumblr

New pipe clamps. I hope these are easier on my right hand than my parallel clamps have been… Thanks to @taylor.toolworks for great hardware at a great price… (at Boulder Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsCYF8PH7b/?utm_medium=tumblr
