I’ve not sharped this plane for a while, until this week. I threw together a quick setup area to sharpen using my water stones. Do you have a special technique you use? I like Rob Cosman’s methods and of course the ruler trick from David Charlsworth. I might get called out for high bench sharpening, oh well 😁 • #woodworking #woodshaped #woodwork #handplane #sharpening #woodriver #workingtimbersco #toolsharpening #bladesharpening #diy #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-RbcPjq8d/?igshid=1p1nfyrh7iw26

I really enjoyed this project and I have the full video on my YouTube channel. Click the link in my bio. Enjoy hand planing, debarking, slab flattening, joinery, epoxy pour and wood finish! All your favorites in one! 😁 #woodworking #slabflattening #routersled #liveedge #walnut #carpentry #carpenter #woodwork #maker #makersgonnamake #woodfinish #design #woodworker #homedecor #seating https://www.instagram.com/p/CIx7IxOjwnd/?igshid=1dlpkgqlospss

Check out how nice this @odiesoil goes on this baby live edge bench. Buffed out and such a nice smooth soft feel! As I had mentioned earlier I went high on the sanding grits so this was smooth as butter! • #woodworking #woodshaped #liveedge #liveedgefurniture #woodwork #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #odiesoil #woodfinish #design #bench #benchdecor #homedecor #walnut #carpentry #carpenter #chatoyance #woodcraft #craft https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYs3ozjV5L/?igshid=xtghu3lagc0v

During my last project, the live edge bench, I used the @festool_usa 575716 ETSC 125 18V brushless hybrid sander. Here I’m using the battery capability and at this point I had been sanding the entire week with the tool. At the very end when I was leveling the leg, the first battery died. I’m really impressed with the battery life on these. I can convert to corded at any point if I want as well! For the 9 hole pattern sanding pads, I went with @seriousgrit sanding pads and well, you’ve seen the finish on this bench already! Have any of you tried this sander or pads? I for one and a fan now! • #woodworking #woodshaped #festool #seriousgrit #sanding #sandpaper #liveedge #slab #liveedgeslab #tools #tooltuesday #wedenesday #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #carpentry #workingtimbersco #workingtimbers #handmade #art #design https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwnZ8DDCdX/?igshid=pahfkjf9kwf5

Switching back to focusing on the live edge bench, I used the Festool domino to attach the trapezoid leg. I decided to chamfer the legs and got carried away and I’m glad I did because the boxy edges wasn’t doing it for me. I think it was picnic table meets sophistication and it wasn’t happening. Looks much better. Interesting glue up here. I wrestled a bit before I realized I could clamp from the bottom of the leg, anyway, I’m enjoying this project and glad I’m making more progress.

Night stand turned out great I think. Here’s a quick piece of footage of me applying @odiesoil - I think I’ve really been missing out not using this stuff until now! Excellent scent too! 😂 • #woodworking #woodshaped #odiesoil #nightstand #bedroomdecor #walnut #diy #carpentry #wood #woodworker #maker #makersgonnamake #modern #woodgrain #maple #workingtimbersco #design #innovation #goshapesomewood #homemade #woodcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDd4a1jM-3/?igshid=1icbp2zichgqd

Night stands coming along slowly but surely. The walnut pieces I had for the draw front are stunning. What are your thoughts on the project and design so far? Would anyone be interested in the plans for this?

Designed night stands and things are coming along nicely. Took my #makita cordless router and created the dado for the night stand shelf. Was able to the @veritas_woodworking router plane to use to clean it up. Nice fit. Used dominos for the top panel. • #woodworking #woodshaped #workingtimbersco #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #nightstand #veritastools #routerplane #joinery #dado #homedecor #masterbedroom #bedroomdecor #carpentry #carpenter #build https://www.instagram.com/p/CESZX20DNKd/?igshid=1rz866kf8b4w2

New Slab Flattening bit in action. Testing on this 11” piece of hard maple. This is the Amana RC-2255 - Shop sounds are appropriate for the Stranger Things theme! 😁 • #woodshaped #woodworking #workingtimbersco #diy #maker #slabflattening #slabflatteningmill #planer #router #routersled #toolsday #tooltuesday #toolstoday #strangerthings #sharperthings #carpentry #carpenter #satisfying https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwd0fIjI94/?igshid=f4ddebfnxmi9

Check out this beast! Looking forward to putting this to good use soon on the wider momma slab I have. Anyone else use the slab flattening bits with carbide inserts? Should be interesting. Look for future videos of this in action! • #woodworking #woodshaped #diy #maker #router #routerbit #slabflattening #routersled #carbide #workingtimbersco #carpentry #makersgonnamake #toolstoday #tooltuesday #toolsday https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfX20fjbm5/?igshid=mkc79cp7iy9x

What are you using to join larger panels? Working with some mighty thick stock for a pair of #nightstand from hard maple. Panels are lookin pretty rough at the moment after milling due to a few chips in my planer blade but they will come together brilliantly. Enjoyed this step and the glue up. Nice squeeze out!

I’m so amazed by the router sled results. After getting that first face flat, I duplicated that face on the other side using my 15” planer. I know most of you get this process but for those that don’t, this may help you in some way. I’ll be using the jointer for the first edge face and then duplicate that face on the table saw to get it all completely square. Fun process! • #woodworking #jointer #planer #milling #routersled #slabflattening #maple #workingtimbersco #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #lumber #howto #grizzlyindustrial #woodwork #goshapesomewood #woodshaped https://www.instagram.com/p/CClgZcmDpPD/?igshid=qx8qtn5ctuhi

Here is the first part of me getting this 11” piece of Maple flat. Starting with the first flat face using the router sled. Next I’ll take it over to the planet and duplicate the first flat face. I love this process! • #woodworking #woodshaped #slabflattening #routersled #maple #nightstand #woodwork #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #design #milling #jointer #planer https://www.instagram.com/p/CCeGbljDq3C/?igshid=1o96ikkw39ww0

Opinion time! What are your thoughts on the maple legs? I was thinking of a full trapezoid initially but wanted input. I kinda like this but not sure about support weight although I think it would be fine Let me know your thoughts. What do you think so far? • #woodworking #woodshaped #waterfallbench #waterfalltable #walnut #maple #maker #makersgonnamake #diy #workingtimbersco #design #woodart #art #wooddesigns #bench #getbenched #woodworker https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjrtS7D-Ao/?igshid=lxboddkclz2n

I was able to get the glue up complete yesterday for the waterfall bench! I think it turned out great. The opposite end will need to have a wider base in order to make this thing stable but I’m happy with how it’s coming together. • Ideas on a base? Trapezoid? • #woodworking #woodshaped #walnut #waterfalltable #bench #woodbench #workingtimbersco #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #woodwork #carpentry #woodart #design #homedecor #titebond https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2mzGXDl4I/?igshid=lywx9e9295s2

Waterfall bench is coming along. It’s about time for glue up of the angle! Will be adding the cauls soon with CA glue.

Remember the slab flattening? Here is the progress on that baby slab. I have some epoxy fill to do for the holes, then attaching the opposite leg with maple. What about that continuous grain waterfall? No, this initial cut is not the full 45, I went back and did another pass at 45 • #woodworking #walnut #walnutslab #liveedge #liveedgeslab #routersled #slabwaterfall #waterfalltable #bench #workingtimbersco #woodwork #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #tracksaw #angledcut https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfx0Tgj29_/?igshid=1mp5j4z9z0hee
