This is a small example of some of the things I have created, built, designed, erc.
You may notice that there is no ending... and that is because I have much more to add since this has been made (only a few months ago), and also because I love what I do. Its not work, its my life, hobbie, enjoyment
2. In this Slideshow you will see some
examples of work that I've completed
while attending my First year in
Carpentry at NSCC, a view of what I had
done during my One week work term,
as well as some personal woodworking
projects I enjoy doing at home.
3. This Knotty Pine Coffee Table included the use of many hand & power tools such
as a Table Saw, Router, power drill, Power sanders, Chisels, hand saw, and
sanding blocks. It also required me to follow a set of prepared plans, keeping the
table level and square, then using my own creativity to add some decorative
touches once completed.
4. This is after I
routered all of
the edges of
the table,
power and
hand sanded,
used a Pecan
colored stain,
and applied
Four coats of
varnish for a
beautiful
shiny top
coat.
After customizing
5. His and Hers Serving trays. The
base is
glued and screwed,
supported by a dado cut
to secure it, hand sanded, stained
in Bombay walnut and Ebony.
Notice the Forrest scene indented
into the “Hers” tray to give it some
character.
6. My learning experience building this shed included: wall
framing at 16” O.C, window, door, and stairwell openings,
Sheathing, Shingling, building a floor with braces, trusses,
metal wind support system, headers, lintels, and doorway
openings and shed door.

8. Footings and Foundations.
During this week, I learned how to do foundation
Wall paneling, how to secure the ties from panel to
panel while keeping them level to the layout, secure
the rebar in place, coat the panels before installing
the cement so it will not stick, use a vibrator to
release air from the cement when pouring, and
remove the paneling, placing them neatly
back into the cages, when complete.
