Step Back Chimney Cupboard

[Pitchy]

We made a Step Back Chimney Cupboard today.

Very nicely made Lenn, I like it...

[Pitchy]

Thanks John, sawmill, planer equals out of control.

[gamekeeper]

Hey Lenn, just a thought could you fit a long gun in the top and keep boxes of ammo on the shelves? It would look cool with a side by side or levergun...

I`d have to take the top shelf out, it would make a good gun rack alright.

I was thinking the same thing John. Nice job Lenn!

(Or maybe hide the long gun in a secret compartment behind the shelves.)

Thanks buddy.

So how many pounds of ammo could each shelf hold?

[Grizz]

Grizz the only reason i can think of is it`s about the same size as a block chimney, i went through a couple of those small planers that they sell at Home Depot exc... and the pot metal gears would give out.
The one i have now i bought from a friend it`s a heavy duty commercial model with a 5 hp motor .

Slick! I love handmade furniture. This piece has a high cool factor, bet you could sell a pile of em if you wanted. Id sure like to see a pic of that 5 H planer

[M. M. Wright]

Very nice Lenn. The button latch on the door is quite similar to the one on my shooting house.

[Pitchy]

Thanks guys, here`s a picture of the planer with five hp electric motor-220 v.

I like that cupboard. Solidly built storage is always good.

[octagon]

Thanks for the photo Pitchy, that looks like a real dandy. My shop is mostly hand tools, I'd like to get some machines sometime and make more furniture.

[Pitchy]

Your welcome,we`ve been using the heck out of the planer, paid 500 for this one.
Have to metal detect every board already wrecked a set of blades.
People never put metal objects into trees and leave them there some logger or sawyer will find them with a mill or planer someday.

I have heard of those anti logging jerks putting nails into trees deliberately. I have some relatives out in Oregon who worked in the timber industry. They have mentioned times when felling a tree that a nail was there. They sure hated wrecking a saw chain on them. Can't say I would be happy to ruin good equipment that way either.

[OldWin]

Very nice! Pretty finish too. Great job Pitchy.

[Pitchy]

Thanks OldWin, it only has stain on it i`m debating if i should put polly on it.
Some of them were painted blue or red.

That is how I did all the woodwork in my house. I didn't poly anything that isn't around water. My thought process was that without poly, it can be touched up if need be.

[Rusty]

That is one sharp looking piece of work.

[Pitchy]

Thanks Rusty.

I do not know much about woodworking. Would a coat of Johnson's paste wax do any good on it? When I was a kid, that is what people used on wood floors.

I`m not sure if i want it shiny or leave it as is.
