I started a new project this weekend. The Wife and I have a basket on either side our reclining loveseat to hold magazines and such. Mine is falling apart and we haven’t been able to find anything we like to replace them, so I decided to make 'em.
The model is shown in cherry but I bought some white oak Thursday, which makes more sense because they’re in a sort of mission style. The lidded compartment holds two standard boxes of tissue, one on top of the other. When one runs out, you just switch them.
This will be my first time using Brusso hardware: two pairs of stop hinges that arrive in the mail on Saturday. They're American made: precision machined in solid brass with stainless steel pins. It’s a bit on the pricey side and I felt a bit like I was ordering jewelry.
I broke down a sheet of Baltic birch plywood today for the bottoms Saturday but that’s as far as I got. I had to do a little maintenance on my crosscut sled. The screws in the miter bar had loosened a little. I also had to slightly widen the miter slot in my out feed table to relieve a bit of binding.
On Sunday, I cut the oak to rough size, milled it, and glued up eight panels from which to cut the parts. I definitely need more clamps. I had to do these in two sessions.
