This blog is devoted to handmade woodworking, cabinetmaking, and furniture projects with an emphasis on the Shaker and Arts and Crafts styles. I will be writing about the technical and creative processes involved in the design and construction of a series of projects in solid domestic hardwoods including oak, maple, cherry, and walnut.

A Brief Post-Election Post
This will be a short post because I have had a pretty busy week, setting up my Etsy store and working on the Shaker Hanging Shelf. I spent about two hours making the banner you see above for my store. I figured Photoshop would be the best way to go since the banner has to have a certain number of pixels, but I forgot to take into account how unfamiliar I am with the program. The end result wasn't bad considering that I was working by trial and error.
I will do a more complete post on the Hanging Shelf in a couple of days, but progress has been encouraging so far. I dry fitted my first attempt tonight and I am very pleased with the result. All my jigs worked as planned and all the parts fit as they should. The proportions are perfect. Whew! Stay tuned for the full story...
