Nicholas Nelson: January 2014

Sunday, January 5, 2014. Bremer Cabinet: Picking Up. Hey folks. I'm a bit behind on sharing this project, so I'm going to make basically a photo reel post to catch up! Above we have some cabinet side doweling. Then top and bottom doweling. Once the carcass is dry-fit with some dowels, trim up the back to be flush and flat. Here I'm using my lovely chair-scrape because the cabinet scraper was too clumsy for edge work. Looks like I forgot to take a pic of shaping the top/bottom edges.

Nicholas Nelson: Combo Amp Stand Continues
http://nelsonwoodcraft.blogspot.com/2013/03/combo-amp-stand-continues.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Combo Amp Stand Continues. Continuing the Amp Stand. I'm shaping the end grain "terminals" a bit. I'm giving them a subtle three dimensional rounding. It will soften the overall appearance of the otherwise straight lined piece. I've got the substrate set up, time to get those veneers in line. Yes, I've grown found of certain bottles to hold my finishes, what do you use? The veneer is ready to be applied but I just wanted to interject a brief bit about the substrate. Alright, to th...

Wednesday, January 16, 2013. So, I lied. There was ONE more small project. This little presentation box to hold that lovely ring for my lady. Yep, I'm engaged. Phew! I had the ring commissioned from Britta Lynn Kauppila. She's a wonderful metal smith working between Duluth and Minneapolis. I couldn't have been happier with the ring. Eva says the same. Friday, January 4, 2013. Greetings. Back with the last of the small projects previously mentioned. Enkel - Simple: uncomplicated, clear, obvious. The Enkel...

Nicholas Nelson: November 2012
http://nelsonwoodcraft.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. I believe in seeking meaningful experiences and relationships. My work is authentic, enduring, harmonious, and sound. Not only am I looking to make some room in my shop but am wanting to find homes for these lovely pieces and perhaps encourage enriching experiences for the people who surround them. In that process I would be pleased to raise awareness and appreciation of well crafted goods made with the eye, hand, and heart. Frame-Top Coffee Table - Now $575!

Nicholas Nelson: Bremer Cabinet - The Next Chapter
http://nelsonwoodcraft.blogspot.com/2013/11/bremer-cabinet-next-chapter_24.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. Bremer Cabinet - The Next Chapter. Wow Hickory is hard. I knew it was hard but I didn't know it was this hard. Also it tears. As soon as there is a dive to the grain "shhhh-crugh! Is that was a tear sounds like? Looks like I'm going to reacquaint myself with the cabinet scraper on this one. Since last time, I have been breaking down the rough lumber, picking what pieces go where, and bringing those close to dimension. Provided that you have stable wood, these are great tools!

Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Consoles and Door Panels. Well now, what to do while some oiling is going on with the carcass? I finally decided to make the door panels veneered. Here are the substrates. If you haven't guessed why I have four substrates, you'll see in a bit. Veneer is made and selected. Here I'm shooting an edge for gluing pieces of veneer together. After they are joined, back to the press they go. Not fool proof, but it works well with care. This is where those four substrates come in. T...

Nicholas Nelson: June 2012

Monday, June 11, 2012. While some of the remaining stand business was going on I could get on to veneer work for the sides of the cabinet. The top had already been done while the bottom was made. This was a longer series of veneer joints for the back panel. For this surface I had to plan out grain graphics to work with a vertical partition that has yet to be place, though I know where about it will go. Moving on. Time for the back panel. The back for this piece will be assembled with the sides before the...

Nicholas Nelson: July 2012
http://nelsonwoodcraft.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. Greetings folks, it has been a while. In the past month plus I have had plenty of work on my plate, little of which is/was wood work unfortunately. I haven't gotten much, but I was able to squeeze a little shop time in on the whisk(e)y cabinet. While the partition was being glued back together I got on to door frame joinery, always something I get a little tense about. I'm glad that part is done and came out well.
