My first woodwork

I have been in a woodwork class for women these days.

This is my first project, a stool (was supposed to be). Looks more like a small table after completed. The wood, rimu, was from our old kitchen cupboard.
Several decades ago, rimu here had been used massively for construction, it becoming an endangered species. Now, logging has been banned; the recycled timber and furniture made from it circulate popularly in the market.



After painted


Next project—a wine rack, for 8 bottles.

Fran, you have done a wonderful job. From far distance, I did not see any nails. The legs look straight, smooth painting. It is as nice looking as that in store. Can you stand on it?

正規班教出來的學生果然不一樣,第一個作品就有行家的架式。木板的質地跟紋路也很不錯。照片上看不出是stain 或塗亮光漆?
下一張相片是不是要秀一下你的工具,還是你只是上課而已?

哈!忍不住要問一下,其中有沒有哪一個步驟是老師或同學代勞的? 我很難想像我們班寶操作Tablesaw 的樣子,Hmm...是很厲害...

Yes, I can sit on it, stand on it, or use it as a convenient table puttig it wherever needed.
Not a single nail was used, 嘻嘻!

Tablesaw, bandsaw, and whatever saw, piece of cake!! I don't have any of them, all these big toys in the workshop.

It was painted, not stained.

Honestly, while the instructor demonstrating and my turn practicing those machines, I was scared a lot. Monsters, my first image.

Forgot to clear one thing---
That is a class for women, not too rough.
Has been clarified on the post.

本來初看以為是短空不飛劍兄的另一得意作品,正想說,要來要張coupon.

結果進了留言板,咦!? 我們重人兄,怎麼叫飛劍兄芳蘭,...再回到前頁一看, wow, 真是厲害,芳蘭. 我有自知之明,這種作品,我沒有辦法做得到. 厲害.
