hi, i found this wood from scrap and try to make something.. i split the wood first.. cut a 90 degree start.. and cut the length.. now i trim the surface.. sand the rough surface.. i try to make dovetail joint, so need to draw the dovetail.. i saw the dovetail with hand saw, this is hard work.. cut the excess..
now chisel time.. i trim the inside with a block, make sure it straight as posible.. also trim all the excess, this take more time.. now make the other side, i used pencil to draw the line.. and saw it with hand saw.. chisel time again.. i leave more excess because my hand saw is not sharp, i will trim it with chisel.. this is after trimming, it take time. now i make a hole. i simple open a square hole with chisel to make sure it precision..
with both side.. then i drill it.. after drilling it much easy to clear the inside.. now shape the base.. shape the side panels too.. trim the edge with handplane.. glue and put it together, i used contruction silicone glue.. after next day.. i trim a little bit to match the joint, and sanding it..
then i plane the bar holder to match the hole.. this is nothing to do with this project~ i paint it with clear paint. it done! thanks for watching
