Its all over! As I have said before there are a few things I will do differently going forward and some things I was super amped on.

  • I loved using the burning technique, I think it gave the wood a great finish, a and the linseed oil made some beautiful patterns in the grain.
  • Woodwoking is hard, especially when there is a skill barrier!
  • I need more precise tools if I am to get perfect joints. Corner clamps especially.
  • It is ahrd to work with inconsistent surfaces. I did a lot of the wpork outside witout a workbench, which masde it hard to keep everything consistent.
  • I would love a table saw!!!
  • I wonder what opportunities there are for digital collaging! Checking online, it seems like there are numerous resources like Adobe and Pixlr!

Some things I want to do in the future!

  • Buy a table saw! Here is a cheap example…
  • Practice Practice Practice!
  • Secure a better space to work!

Overall, I found this project and course super fun. I have always liked woodworking and persisting with projects. i found myself frustrated on numerous occasions, but was proud that I persisted. I also found that filming and recording the process was honestly quite annoying. I often wanted to focus on doing the project, but then had to be mindful about setting up a camera or taking photos. I have never been prone to recording my life! That being said, it was all super fun!! Thanks for coming along for the journey!
