Three Bees in a Trench Coat

I finally started and finished a #woodworking project that I've been wanting to make for a couple years, a garden box! This project used >80% recycled wood using the fence boards from my childhood home. Only power tool used was the drill to assemble the sides. Didn't use any plans either, just kinda winged it. It stands 4 feet tall with the box being 18" x 36" x 13"

In progress shot of the clean up process for the old fence boards. On a faded blacktop are two saw horses and a folding table. On top of the table are an assortment of wood planks.
The two short sides of the garden box standing against a concrete wall. The sides are 18 inches wide, and comprised of four boards.
The garden box fully assembled. It is empty at this point. In the background are trashcans, and a small green hill.
The garden box fully complete. The inside of the box is lined with a gardening tarp, and healthy, loamy soil can be seen in the box.

Been staring at this tableau-style carving, impressed by the perspective in such a shallow space. It occurs to me that flat-panel carvings like this are done in the opposite way oil paintings are. The latter is typically done farthest to closest, but wood panels must be approached closest to farthest. That seems quite hard.

This work, not mine, is three boards glued edgewise, measuring 38 x 28 cm, and 3,5 cm thick.

(Can’t figure those circles on back.)

Ok gonna bore the front two leg holes, then seat those legs, then remove the wedges and do the read leg holes, and then (try) to shrink the wedges and fit them. #woodworking

Mortises going through battens nearly done, but still need fitting with the tenons. While trying to get it to fit the (cherry) backsplat split a bit so glued it back together and added a couple screws to reinforce it. #woodworking

Preparing fence posts for a new 95-metre stretch of fencing. I'm working with larch—tough, durable stuff that’ll last for decades once the splint wood is removed. Each post is shaped by hand with care, aiming for precision and consistency. It’s slow, physical work, but there's real satisfaction in seeing the pile grow. These posts will form the backbone of the fence—solid, straight, and made to endure.

A close-up view of a woodworking area in a rural yard. Several freshly processed larchwood fence posts, most with their sapwood chopped off, lie in the foreground. The posts vary in shape—some are quartered, some halved, and others left round. The rich, reddish-brown heartwood contrasts with the pale bark remnants and wood shavings scattered thickly on the grass. A sturdy sawhorse stands mid-frame, supporting more half-round posts. To the right, a large stack of older, weathered posts leans against a structure. In the background, a white house with wooden doors and a stone patio is partially visible, surrounded by stacked firewood and rustic tools, all under the shade of a leafless tree.

My newest #woodworking project is a fairly large Arbor for one of my wife's many gardens. I have made numerous mistakes already, so it is slow going. I must have been blind when I selected the wood as it is full of giant knots and other defects, Grrrr. And I pre-cut the side slats all 1/8" to 1/4" too short, so remaking all of them cut to fit, like I should have done in the first place.

Yes it is fun, but the self-induced glitches are certainly frustrating. Pics T/K when it looks decent.

Cet après-midi, c'était atelier tiroirs. C'était aussi le moment où je me rends compte que je n'ai plus de colle à bois, et qu'il faudra que j'aille en acheter des que possible, parce que pour l'instant, c'est juste du dry-fit.
Moi qui l'année dernière encore redoutait ce genre d'assemblages, je m'en sors de mieux en mieux, mais surtout je n'ai plus d'appréhension à attaquer ce type de projet.

deux tiroirs, posés sur le sol, l'un sur l'autre. Tous les morceaux sont dépareillés, parce qu'il s'agit de bois de récupération.
