Woodworks - first project
I finished my first carpentry project here just now. The result is rewarding though not too exciting. I just needed to practise my skills of cutting, joining and sanding a small piece of wood. The shelf I made is 24″x8″x5″ and is entirely made out of one 2′x2′ sheet of 1/4″ thick block wood. The circular saw cut it like butter. I joined the pieces by small right angle brackets. It was difficult to get small screws so I had to sand out the extended part of the screws by a dremel tool. The rounded top part was the suggestion of my apt mate Piyush who supported this whole idea of making own furnitures. This shelf is going to be hung beside our main door to keep mails, keys and miscellaneous stuff.
I will be quite ambitious about the next projects. I desperately need a couple of shelves/drawers in my room. Havent yet decided how to go about it. In the meantime I will be making small corner shelves for various uses.

come on man, you call that wood work? let’s put some heart into it… let’s show your mechanical ability… L brackets? when have you ever seen a piece of furniture made with L brackets? you need to show some talent there… i am expecting much more by an artist with an eye like your dude!
just kidding… great beginning… you could think about some interesting new shape… become a designer of furnitures… and program the robot to make them in linux obviously
how’s everything man? i have been busy and i am sure you have been as well… in fact it is admirable that you found time to build your own furnitures…
my question is… basically… yes, it goes like this: what happened to you? when are we going to see california? did you loose your camera on the way there? what is that bike sitting for? to go to the walmart to buy stuff and to the home depot to buy wood? come on dude… what happened to your photography eye? still tired after your trip? it is almost as if the trip had overflowed your brain with beauty… like you got drunk with beauty and now before taking the camera in any consideration you need to chil out a little and entertain yourself otherwise….
good night man, and good luck!
