Working With Wood Continued
Tracey bought some LED lights that are very small and run off 3 AA
batteries. I made and glued a small piece of pine to the wall and floor
to hold the battery pack in place.
|
|
Here is another piece that was leftover from that same previous project.
I'm using my router table and putting a 3/16" corner round on all
four sides. This will be a chimney once I'm finished.
|
|
Here I'm using an end mill to put a through-hole in the chimney. Note
the soap, this helps keep the end mill from making noise (squealing).
|

I suggested the chimney might look nice if it had a
pattern on it, like brick or stone one would have. Then she drew a few lines
on the block of wood to see if she liked it and we both agreed on the
look. Then I showed her where my Dremel was and she went after it.

|
 |
She used a carbide tool that had a full radius and started following her
lines.
|
|
 |
I thought a few surfaces would look nicer once they had some clear on
them, like the darker woods. She didn't want it too glossy so I used
satin clear.
|
|
 |
Here we're gluing on the chimney, using gravity as out clamp. Also
notice the chimney, and all of the front pieces now that they have clear
on them. What a difference!
