Woodworking .. bird style

One of the abandoned rental houses has a tenant who working on making a home in the rental .. with out paying rent.  More photos to come as things progress.

BTW, no, I’m not letting the owner know.  This house has been flooded, is full of mold and was a puppy mill prior to that.  The neighborhood is hoping the house is eventually razed and it might as well be doing something positive in the meantime while the owner is continuing to neglect it.

Chest of Drawers – the Final Shot

My first project, the Chest of Drawers, is finished and in use ..  finally!

I build this project as my first real woodworking project. Marc Spagnuolo at the Wood Whisperer was building this project as one of his guild projects. I didn’t need a chest of drawers, but I was eager to do this project because I knew it would teach me the woodworking skills I needed.

So what to do with the final piece?  I have two friends who were expecting a child and were in need of furnishings for the child’s room.  So problem solved.  The chest of drawers would go in the soon to arrive child’s room.


So here’s the piece in its final resting place stuffed full of the little one’s clothes.
