BlackieSmith I ordered the patterns online from the Winfield Collection I think. A book by Monroe Dutcher. Just glue up the boards and apply the pattern, cut and sand the weavers and assemble. An easy project with good results. The two I posted are red oak and walnut. Here is a video I found that explains the basics.
BuckeyeDennis Those look fantastic -- I wish I had seen them before my wife spent a small fortune on Longaberger baskets! :rolleyes: But I'm still afraid to show her your pics. (The honey-do list is already way too long.)
robinson46176 BlackieSmith wroteAnd a cloths basket out of walnut. I have a few sets of those 3 caster furniture dollies. A lot of old timers always called them "stove & refrigerator dollies". Most of mine show bad signs of past overloading and abuse. :rolleyes: They probably got borrowed a lot... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: "Borrowers" are a whole other "basket" :) of worms. .
BlackieSmith I’m just playing around, no real skill involved like making furniture or such like you guys.

robinson46176 BlackieSmith wroteI raised goats from 77 till 2010. What gave me away the accent? lol The "Sheep & Goat" feed bag on the table. :D .
BlackieSmith Yeah, the feed bag. Great to do glue ups on. Non-stick. I save everything, somebody might need it some day. Anybody need a few ton of used baler twine. lol
charlese Very nice projects and beautiful work, Blackie! Congratulations on your top notch workmanship! You can't fool me about not having skills to build furniture projects. Just take a look at the exact fitting joints you made on the weavers and the top rim (handles) With that skill you can make anything. All you need is time!
