Got this gem today, an aesthetic movement apprentice piece (or shop sample) wash stand. It’s just 25cm tall and as detailed as a full size version. Always wanted an “apprentice piece” but they’re always either a fortune or not actually an apprentice piece (home made doll’s furniture).

Ya, I don't dip a toe in the water when I can dive in head first ;-)

Starting with a project like this was not the greatest idea, but I have learned a massive amount that I can use towards, other carving and even my

I haven't yet attempted making papier-mâché furniture but do know of some artisans who have done this (i.e., small side tables, chairs, etc.). It's fairly challenging & also takes a good deal of strategic planning because structural integrity is an issue. Items are typically reinforced with other materials like corrugated cardboard, wire, etc. Think I'll stick with the smaller items for now.🤣

Had to let this baby go, today..commissioned work, so it really wasn't mine, but we do get attached.

3/3 The brace and bit are the last things all talk about on this thread. I use braces for most of my drilling/boring, but I still have cordless drills for my home DIY stuff. I use them almost exclusively for my and but a lot of the reason for that is because they are quiet and because they are slow. The slow part means I have more control over the drilling/boring process.

1/4 A few years ago my wife and I went to Scotland for both of us to study (furniture making for me and management for her).

The piece that I finished before going to Scotland was a Mission Style chair. This is also the project that made me realize how much I like making furniture. This because we were in the process of downsizing (we didn't know how long we would be there) and we moved twice in two years.

I finished doing the wood work on a chair restoration but have no upholstery skills. Anybody have a good resource on learning this skill?

My picture this week is of the Chippendale International School of Furniture in Scotland. I spent an amazing 9 months there studying For the first 3 or 4 months that we were there, my wife and I would just blurt out, "We're in Scotland!" and then giggle like absolute idiots.

@Sardonicus As a furnituremaker and antique furniture restorer, this kind of video whets the appetite. The hidden drawers and such don't excite me as much as the level of craftsmanship that I can see in the video.

One of my first furniture builds was a Mission Style Prairie Settle. I had just begun to sell of my power tools and go unplugged when I started this project so the only power tool used was the bandsaw.
