Mom's Easel

Sun, 02/14/2010 - 14:00 | by Bonfire

During lunch on Friday my mom asked me to make her an easel so that she can start painting again. So after a few sketches and a fierce debate I was off the hardware store to get some wood. This is my first attempt at dovetails and burning an image with a soldiering iron. Two days later and it’s done!

Well done Bons! Better

Well done Bons! Better stroking steel across wood than beating the shit out of it with a hammer. He he. Now we have to find you some woodworking tools. A bench perhaps?
