Is this doable for a beginner?

I bought my first house and I’ve been wanting a window seat/ reading nook since I was a little girl. I’d like to turn this into a bench that fills the space. Doesn’t have to be fancy at all, don’t need drawers or storage. Ideally I’d like to avoid drilling or damaging the floors. I have extremely minimal experience (think building ikea furniture) and some tools. Is it worth trying myself or should I hire a professional? Any tips?

Need help with crown moulding

I want to add crown moulding to a room with a vaulted ceiling but have this corner to work through and need suggestions on how to manage it. Any thoughts?

How were these carved? This was a practice piece for a neighbor who made replacement rifle stocks by hand in the 1930's. I still have many of his offcuts.

I had one of his gun stocks that was really remarkable. Matched exactly to the Winchester rifle he had.

A Thank You!

I posted about a week ago about being burned out on a project and asking whether I should finish it even though I really didn’t like the way it was turning out. A lot of you encouraged me to finish and gave me some really great advice about how to get moving again. I finished it. I’m still not a fan, but I don’t hate it as much as I thought I did and I’m really glad I finished it. Besides, she loves it and I learned a lot. So … thank you!

Learning CNC. Excellent for side projects, havnt used it for work since we got it.

Is wood a good building material for this project?

Hi all! I'm making blueprints to build a shelter for my stray kitty I'm trying to care for. I hope to be able to take her inside the near future. She's quite shy so I wanted to make a shelter so she and I can encounter each other more. I want to make the shelter out of wood so it can be nice and durable. It's also gonna double as a stand for plants on the top. It's supposed to be super incognito since I wanna make sure no one knows she's in there so she stays safe. Wood is good for insulating the warmth but I'm worried it'll insulate too much heat. I live in TX so it gets absurdly hot. Does anyone know if wood is a bad idea for a shelter? I'm planning to install a thermometer so I can make sure it's never too hot or cold. I also am gonna get some tile to put in for the hotter weather and a cooling mat.I would love any ideas or suggestions. Thank you!

Was thinking of making this into a pendant, any advice or opinions?

Waterfall sofa table help

Hello folks! I am pretty new to woodworking and am trying my hands on creating a sofa table from the scrap wood I got from around my neighborhood. The design is pretty close to the attached picture. I am using two flooring planks joined together as the top surface, with 1/2” melamine boards pinned to the bottom to get width and support the floor joints. My first iteration was just to butt joints the top and the legs with nails and as you can guess it was pretty flimsy and weak. I have taken it apart now and am planning to cut miters with my circular saw at the corner and join the legs with glue and dowels. My question, is that enough to support the top and prevent the table from wiggling? Do I also need to support the top from sagging by attaching a backing board or plank along the length? Do I need corner supports as well? The table would be hidden behind the couch and the wall and would not have too much stuff. Just cables and things. Rough dimensions: 48”x24”x1.5” Thank you!

please help !! how can i cut this without a big expensive saw?? i don’t have a lot of money and few days to finish this

When you get to Costco at the right time.

Say what you will about the movies, but I really like how this character looks as a minifigure 🙂
