Re: Wheelchair Access

Medicare will pay for this. Ask your doctor for a rehab chair. My wife has had one for 10 years.

It's about $20,000. You may have to cover the cost of the elevation feature. When working on your SS, please use the seatbelt to keep you from falling out.

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

This picture shows the basic history of the wood and box with my signature. Now, I must admit this is the worst production I have ever done. My hands sporadically jump and it is hard to know when but I have to figure a way to cover it over. I have a couple more of these to do before I hang up my hat...

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

Now to continue this journey. I know this is dangerous, but I assumed that everyone would know that you glued the pulls on the drawer faces before applying any oil, wax or other finish. Also, I assumed that you know how to use a clamp while gluing the pulls to the drawer faces. Picture first is the ...

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

Thank you, WileyCoyote. I did this only for those who have not seen the process before to show that all of you can do this if you wish. Yes, it is time and labor consuming, but just take one step at a time. Dennis, please go get that tree. Use that chain saw to rip out the pith and allow it to dry f...

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

May I apologize for the lengthy delay in finding the remainder of the pictures. While eating supper of turnip greens, mashed potatoes and southern cornbread, I downloaded again from email, resized and renamed them in Ifran. I'll try to continue where I left off. The first picture is of the final san...

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

To hold the pieces together and ensure that the small pieces remain in the correct drawer, I like to use tape to keep them together. That way when I start gluing, they will all match up correctly and look and work right.

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

And now we turn to making the drawers.

Just a comment from experience, the straighter you cut the front and back off the drawer chunks, the easier it will be to line them with felt. If you do flocking, it is insignificant.

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

First picture is cutting off excess at top of box and making the general shape. It's a real squeeze. Second picture is side view of cut out shape. Sorry for the shakiness of my hands. This caused many problems not being able to control the cuts. Third picture is collected sawdust to help fill in som...

Re: Dogwood bandsaw box. . .

First picture is retracing the pattern with a pencil and it can be faintly seen. Second picture is a mistake. I was about to cut off the back but I had not cut out the outside of the pattern yet. But I did trim to square up the wood. It measures 6" X 6" X 12" long. Then it had to be s...
