Craft Works - Let's Get Creative!

Pretty impressive project @Chris. I think it turned out really well.
Woodworking has always been something I wanted to try but dont have near the space or time or skill quite frankly.

Thanks, guys. Like I said, it turned out better than I expected.  Don't be fooled, though- I'm still generally useless.

Here’s an oil painting I just finished this evening.

Land Of The Free
Oil on canvas
24 in x 36 in

Bonus pic: Wearing my hickory stripe apron. The stripes do a great job of not showing stains.

Which is exactly why railroad workers used to wear hickory stripe…

Shortly before the pandemic I got a new bed and wanted to make a headboard for it. I got a decent amount of cherry for the project and spent last week designing and building one with my uncle in his wood shop. I took some photos so I thought I'd share them here. I've slowly been trying to build, restore, or buy Arts and Crafts or Mission Style furniture over the past few years in hopes of someday soon having all matching furniture.

If I had a mini sewing machine I’d go through my closet and upcycle clothes I no longer wear into face masks. Think of the possibilities - you could make a mask with an old faded pair of jeans and flannel or whatever

Great job @Palmer

I jumped off the wrong career ladder about fifteen years ago and was offered a couple of weeks working with a friend’s husband in landscape construction while I made a plan. I stretched that fortnight out to five years. Woodwork was always satisfying.

@Palmer  fantastic project and documentation I especially liked the close up of the grain. The results look superb.

Beautiful headboard @Palmer !  As @neph93  noted lovely tight grain.

really like  the painting too. A lot.

Another lockdown project. Wooden hand spraypainted and then adorned. Tattoo imagery derived from the beautiful flash work of ecdobleman from Spider Murphy’s.

I typically buy a pair cheapish shoes to wear each summer, preferably in an unusual color.  I couldn't find a pair I like this year, so I decided to make my own this year. These started life as a plain white pair of PF Flyers Center Lo.  Some fabric paint and a couple of hours later, they looked like this.

Not a perfect paint job, but overall, I'm happy with them.
