As the winter term of school wraps up I find myself trying to find a summer project. My first thought was that I would make a hiking staff. Something that I have done before, often in fact. I have made them for others and have 8 sitting in my shop and assorted walking sticks and canes in the far corner of my room. So my girlfriend has told that I should think of something else to make. So I have made a short list of things I could make.
1) Cabinetmaker's Tool Chest- a large wooden tool chest that where used to transport a woodworker's tools from place to place.
2) Jewelry Box- A box for jewels to be kept in.
3) Wooden Shield- Because they are always fun to put up on the wall.
4) Wooden Sword- Also fun for the wall
5) Brief Case- Wooden brief that can hold a lap top and papers.
6) Clock- Never made one before and maybe fun.
7) Bird House- Very first grade, but also could be fun.
8) Limber Jack- A wooden doll that you can make dance by tapping a board.
9) Mechanical Toy- A toy or some such that when a crank is turned it does something.
10) A Major Piece- A buffet and hutch or something like that. It would be a large task, but if I can sell it then I could make it work.
So I am going to need to think about this for a bit. Once I decide I will most likely do a few post about it. If any one has any thoughts or suggestions I would be most pleased to hear them.
