I was just wondering what projects were on all your minds. Anything unique or unusual?  I'm back on a jewelry box but it'll probably be months before it's done.
 
I want to make a sofa table.  I am working on my carving skills because I want the front and sides to be carved and look like a drape of fabric. It is a ways off but I definately look forward to doing it.

I always enjoy looking at your projects please keep posting them.

My next project is to build bookshelves, cabinets, and an aquarium stand for our living room to match the tv stand I built at Thanksgiving.  Paduak and plexiglass.  Collecting thewood now.  Deal with the wife is that I actually start it and complete it - then a kapex will find its way into the collection.

We just started a new project: building a 15 drawer side board. Just bought the Poplar (will be painted) and am gluing up for panels now. Tomorrow will use Domino tenons and pocket holes. First time doing this. will be fun to see. Have the Woodhaven jig for the Domino-- havent used it yet but will see how well it works

Thanks JJ. I'll be happy to. I don't know if this will help but DIY has been running a show dedicated to carving. I've only caught it a couple times but it seems very informative. They do a project from beginning to end.
 
I'm about to tackle a series of bookcases(full wall 10 ft high by 12 ft wide) for the home office.  It will include a rolling ladder (hardware to be ordered from Putnam Rolling Ladder Company).

I will be extensively using my newly acquired LR32 guide system(with OF1400), the Domino, and my trusty TS75.

I hope to complete it no later than Sept 1.  Maybe I'll make the timeline for the monthly contest :)

 
I don't have a project for this but I'd sure like all your input. This is Maple burl veneer. I have 4 pieces 16x32. I called my name and ofcourse I had to answer the call.  ;D I got this from www.veneersupplies.com Joe said it was some of the nicest veneer he's got in a long time. I think that was the bait and I was the fish on the hook. :D
 
I ripped out the coat closet by the front door. Hanging rod and cabinet doors will be replaced by Bench/shoe cubbys, shaker style coat pegs around the perimeter, and a high shelf. I'm hoping I can get my hands on some more Himalayan Cedar to line it with, the stuff smells like heaven's coat closet.
 
I hear ya Eli. The smell of Spanish Cedar is one of the reasons I build Humidors. Very aromatic. Love the stuff.
 
I'm finishing up a cherry hutch right now, and the next on the list is a couple of wine cabinets.  Cherry of course. 
 
I've never built an end table but I'm going to attempt it. I need a place to put my new Humidor. ;)
 
Currently working on twin full size golf lockers for my garage.  I just started to paint the plywood before I start cutting.  In fact my fingers are covered with dry paint.  Attached is the .skp .  I don't have the drawers or face frames drawn yet,  haven't decided on design but you get the idea.
 
I am planning to build a dining room table, using the butterfly leaf table from Jerry Work's domino write-up as a basis. I will be using a different leg arrangement, shop made slides, and intend on having two butterfly leaves. The wood is in the shop acclimatizing and work will start in a week or two.
 
A few years ago I suffered a back injury that wound up taking me about 18 months to recover from. During that time I purchased a wonderful hot tub spa for therapy to aid in my healing. Now that I'm feeling much better one of my desires has been to replace the original fugly plastic cabinet skirting with some real western red cedar. Today I began milling up the needed rough sawn lumber into 5/8" thick v-panel tongue and groove boards. Holy smokers, the mulch pile I'm going to have when this is done!  :o :D
 
Congradulations on the new project. Don't forget the pictures. You know how we like pics ;D

That is the place I am going to get the copper veneer from to try on my drawer fronts. It looks nice, and I probably would not of found it if it wasn't for you Bill. ;)
 
Glad I could help. Joe has some cool stuff, doesn't he? Be careful, his site is addictive like FOG. ;D
 
Welcome to the FOG TJ. When do you plan on getting started and don't forget the pics of your build. You might win some new tools.  ;)
 
I started on my first (of eight!) sets of plantation shutters.  I've never done a project this large before, so it'll be a great learning experience.  Hopefully I won't have to scrap the first set, but it's already been a huge learning process.  We'll see how it turns out!
