Hardtop Footstool, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. A while ago I built a footstool with an upholstered top. This time around it was pretty much the same design, except this time a hardwood top was requested. The lid is made of bookmatched walnut with a zebrawood feature stripe. The top opens on two brass hinges, with [...] View large on Flickr A few weeks ago, our boxer, Silver, suffered a cardiac incident. After a couple of days of moving kind of slow, he seemed almost fully recovered. We tried to minimize the full-throttle sprinting from the back 40, something that he loved to do, but otherwise it was business as usual. Today I [...] Lynda feeds our resident chippie some organic local peanuts. Chipmunk is some kind of health nut snob apparently. Although he did let me scritch on his little teeny head, so I shouldn’t mock him. Or her. The music is from my CD “Gravitas” (available on iTunes etc., see www.rgdaniel.com/gravitas for info). YouTube video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj4eXSdDmas Fountain Pen, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. I just made five of these beauties. One has gone to my wife, who is sophisticated enough to actually use it properly, I expect. Two are going off in the mail to my sister, who has a buyer for one already. Leaving two to have for sale here. I won’t [...] Two Dogs, One Chair, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. You do the math. Our dogs are accustomed to only the finest things in life. Here they are delaying their gratification of enjoying some delicious Angus Roast Beef. Although this is a smaller portion than they would probably have preferred, it does bear mentioning that they had just enjoyed their usual lunchtime helping of kibble. This is basically dessert. [YouTube [...] Offended, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. This fellow was apparently offended by me on a couple of levels. When he sent the first message on Facebook (he’s not among my Friends) it was during atheist week, and he apparently took exception to me based on my icon being the official Atheist Week “A” that was going around. [...] Keyring Whistles with Secret Compartment, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. I made these from walnut for a simple look. The compartment is about the right size for a rolled-up $20 bill. Or a $100 bill if you’re that blessed… Recent Projects: Longwood Click Pens, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. These are a new (to me) design, called “Longwood Click Pens”. Aptly named, because they’re a decent size, and the single-barrel construction really shows off the wood. And they’re the only “click”-style pen I’ve encountered, so that’s refreshing too. Woods are (l-r) Zebrawood (2), Pink Ivory, Walnut, Paduak, [...] Small PineTable, originally uploaded by rgdaniel. The “design” for this is not only dead simple, but was lifted from an existing table of ours, which was kind of messed up and needed replacing. Just four straight legs, four stretchers mortised into the legs, and a square top made from four narrower boards. If this table was [...] |
