It is Christmas time in home woodworker’s shop


posted @ 10:21 pm in [ Home Shop - Wood Working Project ideas ]

No, I am not talking about new power tools for the shop.  Instead, I am talking about making Christmas gifts for your kids, friends, or family.  In my case, I am working on a design for an art easel for my six year old godson.  His mom is thrilled about the gift!  It will be an interesting race against time to get it done.  In a future post I will post the project design and cut list.

 

My wife has wrangled me into this project!  She was talking to our godson’s mom and she said that her son is into painting and drawing.  My wife then turns to me and asks how hard it would be to build an easel for him.  My response was that it is not that hard, it is a question of time.  Do I have the enough time to design and build it before Christmas?  I for warned my godson’s mom that it might turn into a new year’s gift.

 

I just started a shop furniture project.  I am replacing a couple of tables with a fixed wall to wall work bench and a set of shelves that will be mounted either side of the window.  So, now I need to complete this project before I begin the easel!
