Playroom Built-In Part 3

 Here are the better quality photos of the project I promised and a few fun ones of my little helper.

Just like Dad

           

Has to be in on the action!

Cedar Chest – Before & After

Here are the before and after photos I promised to post.  Sorry I haven’t posted them sooner, I forgot all about the pictures on my good camera.

(Click on photos to enlarge them.)

Playroom Built-In Part 2

With a 14 hour day and only a short lunch and dinner break Saturday, and a few hours Sunday evening it is built. 

No easy task with Jonathan taking my tools after I set them down.  However, at 20 months, he is really good at handing me the tools I need when I ask him to get them.  That is if he doesn't think he needs them more than me.  He knows drill, hammer, screwdriver, level, pencil, screw, and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

The built-in is now completely framed, insulated, and covered with plywood.  The big dividing shelf for the TV is in and the two side walls that will support the shelves.

(Better photos to come.

These were taken with my phone.

Sorry for the poor resolution!) 

Playroom Built-In Part1

Started the playroom built-in today.  It will have the TV in the middle with shelves on both sides and drawers under all of that.

Play Room Door

Made a half size door for the play/bonus room instead of using a baby gate.

Cedar Chest

Last coat of poly.

I will put the projects start to finish photos up soon.

Tonight's sunset.

Noise Maker

All wood, Hard Maple and Walnut noise makers.  All pieces held together with dowels.

Plywood Rack

Needed a place to store my unused sheets of plywood.

Wooden Toys

For the last couple of weeks I have been working on some wooden toys for my nieces and nephews.  I really enjoy making their Birthday and Christmas gifts.  They get really excited when they know that you made something specially for them.
