Pretty close! 40 year old Henkel. When Hickory Hollow mall opened - there was a Henkel Store. And I talked my bride into “having” to have one.
Been chilling in the outdoor shop. Roughing a bench in. Uprights are apple stump. Seat and back are cherry half log/ slabwood. Plan to sand and grind a bit more on this to bring it all together
these are the things backaches are made of...
Figured I ought to make this a break down unit if I want it to be movable

Frank that's really cool work!
Yep. Snow didn't melt...
That is indeed kewl!
Frank, that's a terrific design. Now you just need to get a big-ass Frostner bit and drill drink holder holes in the end stumps.
Was weighing that vs simple tabletop design. I do intend to utilize that feature. It was not an accident that they are almost the same height
That's such a creative way to use the natural branching of the tree.

Didn't really do anything in my shop today, have a had a headache all day and just not up to it. But I did pick up some supplies at home depot while we where out shopping. I wanted to get some polysilicon but the depot doesn't Cary minwax anymore so I thought I'd give the varathane a try. I got one can of gloss and one of semi gloss. Picked up some paper for the ros and another rod for the loom project.
Here's hoping that goes away... the headache. The stuff you bought will go away fast enough...
Were you thinking about a Foster's beer and subconsciously it hybridized with 'forstner' bit?
Positive thoughts...likely the wood will dry and move in ways to bind the joints.
The cherry is already dry for 3 years. The apple is back inside the shed to dry. I will resize the mortises after some more drying. This is the rough in. I can trim 3 inches off the length and totally remake the tenons if needed. But normally, only one end would need modified if the apple twists. I dry these things disassembled.
Damn type-ahead / auto-correct. It is my worst enema.
Made the start of a penguin....
We had grandchildren this weekend and to keep my 6 year old grandson occupied we went to the shop. My wife has been after me to make a small corner shelf for our very small guest bathroom. It made a simple project that took a short enough time for his attention span. He was able to do some sanding and finishing as well as drill a few holes. Used up some balsam popular boards and burl.
The EGG. Good start most penguins start that way!
Finally getting mid teens and 20s so went to unheated shop yesterday and did a little cleaning.
Went out this morning....14°F.....to see if chainsaw would start....it did!!! Knocked some snow and ice away and cut off a chunk of some kind of maple that's been laying out for ~6 yrs. Here's where the chunk came from.
Hacked, chiseled and bandsawed till I got to this point.
What I was hoping to find!
Only big enough for pen blanks, but hoping to find more/bigger pcs when I start cutting larger pcs from it.
Once it gets warmer.....
A good morning!

Not in my shop (I don't have a shop) but went over to my neighbor's to see his new SawStop table saw. He got the smaller version that comes with its own foldable dolly. He says the fence is spot on accurate. He bought an after market miter fence and the Rockler tee slot extension for it. Built his own attachable outfeed. Pretty nice set up if anyone is looking for a quality saw that can be hauled out, set up and then put away easily.
Then I used his band saw to trim the top and back for guitar #3.
