Term 2 Week 5

I have glued the frame together and attached a small piece of 19 x 12 x 238 to the back of the frame.  This is instead of a back, I can use it to put screws through if I decide to mount it upside down on the wall (as shown below).  It will also stop the drawer sliding right through if I leave it sitting on a bench. I had to adjust the size of my drawer to only 103mm deep, this will leave it flush at the front when the drawer is fully in.

I have also made the drawer (as shown below). I just glued and clamped it so that there weren't any nails visible from the front.

Term 2 Week 4

I am back online, my blog packed it in for a couple of days.
I have glued my frame together and started making the drawer.

timber for drawer

I got the timber with the dimensions as per diagram.

The timber has a slot cut on the table saw. This slot is to hold the drawer bottom.

Term 2 Week 3

I've cut all 4 through housing joints.
Next I drilled the  holes for the turned piece using a 25mm spade bit (making sure they lined up exactly)

I will next cut out the shape using the dimensions below.

Week 9 - Getting ideas for Kitchen Rack

This week we are collecting ideas for our next project - a Kitchen Rack. It has to have at least one drawer and has to have something that has been made on the wood lathe.  We are looking at some that have been made previously, sketching up our own ideas and collecting ideas from the internet, magazines, catalogues and homeware shops.

I have had another go at an animation. This time I copied Alex's method using screen shots and imovie. This was even easier than the previous one. Whaddya reckon?
