Making Furniture

[Steve_Miller]

Just about everything I built was for someone else but here are some of our cottage we built four years ago, we did the whole interior in 'v' joint red pine and hemlock.

Just remembered I still had this in the garage, to be delivered tonight. Grand children sort of renew your Christmas spirit alot.

Cliff - I did a search for your shaper and didn't find anything. Is there a thread on TBN about it? If not could you post one? I'd like to know what you needed to do to build a shaper. And, as always, pictures please.

Well, that's because I posted the description of how I made it in rec.woodworking sometime in the mid 80's. No photos. I didn't even own a camera back then, worry about a scanner.

Really, they aren't hard to build. Mine is 3X5, two sheets of plywood thick and topped with formica. I bought a mandrel with a 3/4 inch shaft and used an old 3/4HP motor with pullys sized to give me the right RPM. Then I built a timberframe base from 4X4s to make it sturdy and heavy to dampen vibration. I don't use it much anymore since I've gone to Shaker style. I've lost interest in raised pannels -- prefer flat pannels now.
