Thank you all; now if it will translate into sales i'll really be ecstatic

I first cut this pattern about 4 years or so (maybe a bit longer) ago and had intended to make it into a clock for my shop. However, the clock hands broke during a move between shops and so it isn't up on the wall as such. However, after starting my own woodworking business last year, I reached out to Grampa asking if i could sell products made from the same pattern. After gaining his approval, here's the first one to go up on my website: Motorcycle Clock by Scott Baker, on Flickr

I used the Amazon table as a starting point then adjusted things to include adding the scroll work; their table had "boxes" made from the same material as the hamper which I changed to actual drawers. The door in front of the two interior shelves is my idea and yes, they were level when I checked them in the shop. I originally wanted to put a lock on it but that died off when I saw the execution didn't work as well as my thoughts. It is made from red oak with a piece of 1/4" walnut ply behind the larger scroll work on the hamper door. This is like the one I started from: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Changing-Laundry-Storage-Baskets/dp/B005OSHTXO/ref=sr_1_5?crid=618ETNX4U6BL&dchild=1&keywords=kinbor+baby+changing+table&qid=1634613470&sprefix=kinbor%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-5

My daughter asked me to build a changing table on 1 August after the one she bought from Amazon broke as they started to assemble it. Of course I said yes but couldn't start it until mid-August and so spent anywhere from 4 to 10 hours a day in the shop. I wasn't able to finish it before my granddaughter arrived on 1 Oct but I finally delivered it last night. There are 28 mortise and tenon joints, 4 sets of hand cut dovetails, and 6 scroll work pieces adapted from Steve Goode's patterns (daughter asked me to use fairies in the design). There's also a LED light in the back with a dimmer so they doesn't have to use the overhead light at night.

Very nice

Wow such detail and patience. Very impressively done

I purchased Lou, my Paint Mare, in 2006 at the age 6 or 7 - previous owner was unsure of her age. For the first year we had some rough times as she was barely green broke but soon we had some wonderful rides together. When my eldest daughter and her family came into my life in 2008, she too developed a great relationship with my horse but experienced her own issues (bulging lower disc in the back after a fall from Lou) with her. When we left Colorado for Ohio in 2012, Lou stayed behind until we could get into a better financial position and finally joined us here in 2017. Unfortunately, we learned that she had developed Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Cancer) in her left eyelid which is a common problem with Paint horses that have bald faces like mine. I wasn't able to afford the surgery at Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital so we decided to try other medications that ultimately did not help matters. After some aggravating and heart-wrenching thought and discussion, I decided that Lou would be euthanized and so Monday, yesterday, she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge onto greener pastures. With much thanks to Grampa for his efforts, I made this memorial for my eldest so she could keep something of Lou (I have my halter and saddle). The picture is of my eldest's last rodeo with Lou this past August while the horsehair is a lock of Lou's mane.

Thank you all; she started crying when she saw it this morning

That looks great; I'll have to go find that pattern

Steve Good just posted this project a few days ago and I figured what the heck, I'll make them for some family members back west. Although they are done as of tonight, I won't be able to get them to the post office until maybe Thursday morning so they'll be late. I did use up some scrap though that wouldn't have seen the light of day for awhile.

Thank you all.

If you saw my other post, you know I wanted to give my congratulations for the person behind the Whitney Woodworking Farm Scene as that was a fantastic pattern and definitely very challenging to cut. As promised, here is the finished cookbook stand where that pattern is used. I used Curly Cherry with Walnut for the screw hole plugs and handmade knobs with General Finishes oil-based Gloss Arm-R-Seal. I designed the tilt feature based on some others I found but slightly modified since I could only connect them via the sides because of the pattern. This way she can either leave it on counter as a display when she's not cooking or tilt it back to work from.

Hello from Miamisburg (near Dayton)

It's been awhile but since I posted this thread I rebuilt the top end on my daughter's motorcycle, made a week long trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Cherohala Skyway, dealt with my mother-in-law's funeral, and assembled the four drawers. Now, I'm finally ready to start on this part but before I actually start cutting (already drilled my entry holes not shown here), I wanted to make sure how I can put it back together. Again, the plan is to cut this pattern as an inlay using white oak as the drawer face and walnut for the pattern. I have the scroll saw set to cut at a 3-degree angle using a #5 blade and my one practice cut was okay. However, I only made sure it would fit and didn't try to make it a permanent set up. So, how do I glue the inlay to the face? Is it okay to use the Titebond III white glue, hide glue, or something else? Do i just brush on a light coat to both sides or is there another better way?

Thank you all.

As I mentioned some time ago, SWMBO wants me to finally build a new entertainment center. After some thought about how I can make it as close to a German Schrank as possible, I found this pattern here on the site (even the pattern doesn't say whose it is so thank you to anonymous) that I want to have behind the drawer pulls. I intend to place the pulls just above the design but still need time to set that up before I start fully. One other note, the wife wants the entertainment center to look as similar as possible to our grandfather clock I bought in Germany 16 years ago. So I picked up a small piece of white oak to mimic the drawer face (will make some test stains with it) and set to some practicing. First attempt was made from oak plywood which taught me I needed to not cut it as tight as the image looks since I broke one end almost immediately. I started the second attempt last night and finished earlier this evening: Drawer Face Practice by Scott Baker, on Flickr These are still not perfect as I used some leftover walnut that wasn't big enough for the pattern to fit properly but was enough to practice the hardest parts. I like how it turned out and will stay with the 1/4" walnut but I need to be sure I take more time on it. I'm planning on cutting about 8 total if I follow my initial thoughts which probably means I should try to stack cut them but I'm a bit nervous because my last stack cut effort was pretty poor. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do it and not mess up?

Gorgeous, I will listen to the video a bit later but I will have to go find the pattern to make my own copy.

Very nice looking tribute; I'm sorry for the loss of your friend

Thank you all. The nieces and cousin's granddaughter got theirs yesterday; all three said they liked them.

Very nice job

Thank you

I took another one of Steve Good's patterns but reduced the size to match what stock I had to make these picture frames. They will hold 3.5" x 5" photos instead of the 4"x6" he originally called for and are made from curly red oak. These five are for my two daughters, two of my great-nieces, and my cousin's granddaughter. Although I originally made these just because, my eldest will turn 22 tomorrow and so the one set up for landscape pictures is her birthday gift. The four dark ones have a black cherry stain with a lacquer finish while the light colored frame has just lacquer on it (that great-niece said she wanted a light colored object - still not knowing what).

I mounted it to the wall tonight; please ignore the power cables to the left as my Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) sits right there and I haven't bothered to clean that up kvm switchbox mounted by Scott Baker, on Flickr

I hoped to have done that this evening but worked called at the last second and said we had to put in 3-1/2 hours OT so it's too late to set the anchors in the wall tonight for it. I'll post up something this weekend.

I have a push button that sits up on the desk
