Assiniiboine Community College Woodworking course #12: Last class of Level 2 …and probably for the rest of the year:-(
Well the course is over; I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I suspect Ryan learned a lot about conducting a classroom and managing the administrative types at the College. I really enjoyed using all the tools and the great setup of their shop. Its given me a lot of ideas to incorporate into my shop, a bench, vise and mortising attachment for my drill press are all pretty high priorities now…just after getting the new tablesaw.

Projects #1: Toddler Bed #1
A coulpe weeks ago, out of the blue, I decided I was going to make a toddler bed for my soon to be 2 year old dauughter Emaline. I wanted it tbe fairly simple so she wouldn’t be 6 by the time I completed it. And I wanted it to be easy to take apart when she, and maybe the next one, grow out of it.

making built ins
I decided to video the making of how I make custom built ins which I usually make about 20 a year for customers in the charlotte NC area. I mainly knocked down the sheet goods at my shop along with preping for assembly such as holes for adjustable shelves, pocket holes, domonios slots for assembly etc.
Since I have to transport the pieces to the customers house and then assemble there in their garage. I have to set up a mini shop and festool comes in real handy for this. so enjoy the videos series.
