IMG_2590_2.JPGQuickie Jewelry Box127 viewsRepeated 'encouragement' to clean up my dresser resulted in a weekend project. Mahogany box, and due to material failures, a single width Cherry top. A little decoration with brass strips on either side (visible above, on edge). Nothing special, just quick.Charlie Driggs

IMG_2502.JPGChippendale Ottoman - finished 2120 viewsHere we are three years later -- and the finished chair and ottoman were delivered today. I did my part back in July 2006, but this time the delay was due to LOML, as she couldn't decide what fabric she wanted. Also, despite me taking the course she required on upholstery, she spent a chunk of our savings to have a 'pro' reupholster the chair and make a matching cushion for the ottoman I made. Came out quite nice, actually.Charlie Driggs

sew_cbnt_1.jpgsewing cabinet -- marking the cut lines for flutes150 viewsSee also the description in the Porch Archives; when I had to remake one of the legs, I left the square section on both ends, which made markout a little easier. If I was slightly off with line positioning (readily detectable before starting the carving), I just adjusted for it while cutting the lines.Charlie Driggs
