Newbie Project

[Dallas]

Well I jumped in with both feet and gave this woodworking stuff a try. Been playing around for a couple of months or so but I figured I better get something completed before the wife started questioning my shop expenses. I found this pattern in a magizine last month, thought it would be worth a try.

Please let me know what you think. The more positive feedback the more I can impress the wife, the more toys are I buy for the shop.

Very good work Dallas -- now you need to get a compound miter saw for frames and a sander and a router and a planer -- just keep up the good work and your wife will have a lot of new pretties that you made her with love in every cut -- lol -Hope this helps -- any tools I forgot just add them in yourself -- oh yea and a drill press and a air compressor too

Gosh, Dallas - that looks pretty good to me. Only thing I can think of to improve it might be a drum sander, gobs of new blades and wood and patterns, new better shop lights (what else was it you wanted justified?) Yep! That too!!

Nothing wrong with that. Good job on your first project and now we expext to see more. Welcome to the site.

I cannot even fathom posting my first project I ever did, though I still keep it around just to remind myself of where I was.

Your work looks pretty good Dallas, but you might be able to do better if it weren't so dusty in your shop, perhaps your wife will see to it that you get a good dust collection system.
