Built another one of these this weekend to sell. It was on FB for 10 minutes and it was sold. Got $125 for it. I got orders for 3 more. I just need to find some more cabinet/shutter doors to use for the wall panel portion. I make the base out of 3/4" Birch plywood. It's painted with old white chalk paint. I make my own with latex paint and plaster of Paris. The shelf and the seat are made of pine and stained.

Get a router set for the door panels and make your own. It's really easy.

Is the back fixed to the bottom portion? I ask because I see it is a little uncentered.

Very cool. Love those hooks
What color stain is that?

That would be easy and I have made them before way back in shop class in 93' I bought those doors pictured for $5 at a garage sale.

Hooks come from Hobby Lobby, they were on sale for $3 each.
The stain is Minwax "Jacobean" This was the second stain I put on them. The first round came out real "splotchy" I then read up and applied a Minwax softwood conditioner and it came out better the second round. I then hit it with 3 coats of Minwax satin poly out of a rattle can.

Not the nearest thing I've built but it's the most recent! My lil girls doll house for her American girl dolls.

That's nice. I made a bed for my little girls American Girl Doll. I also made a dog house for the dog that came with it, I need to spruce it up though.

Thats a huge freaking doll house. 
Posted on 1/18/16 at 1:43 pm to SportTiger1
Ya the dolls are 18" tall so each floor is 24" tall. The height is 6'6" tall and 5' long ! Wife is pissed cause it has to stay in living room until new house is built! Lol

Bring a picture to the Bank on Felcity Street. They will have something to match it. Nice work on the book shelve.
I haven't been doin very much in the shop. I did make a new handle for my Dad's old Machete.

I think you should ask for more.

Being that I posted it on my personal Facebook, not one of the for sale pages and it was sold in 10 minutes...... I think you right.

Got a little work done on the back porch of my camp done last week.
Not a easy feat moving and lifting green oak post and beams by yourself. Good to have a backhoe to help. That top plat beam weights in over 300lbs.
The windows I had installed in the front of the camp, I wasn't happy with them. Yesterday I got a power buy on some new windows that I will be installing maybe tomorrow.
At this point, I'm short on pine logs big time. They don't grow around here other then yard trees. My tree guy hasn't been working due to things being so wet.
I'm in need of some logs that are at lease 16" on the butt in. If anyone has a hook up on some, let me know.

They are clearing the woods next door to me in Broussard (to build a damn road, progress is destroying my paradise) and there is a huge stack of nice sized Oak trunks to be picked up. I think the guys cutting it will give some to anyone who comes to get them. It's Trees Unlimited doing the work.

I have all the oak I need. Thanks.

I went to a mill work shop to get a price on getting the doors made. $1400!!! A lot more than I thought it would be. I had a figure in my head that it would be $500-600. And all I need is the slab doors, no trim.
I went to The Bank on Felicity St. Friday. That place is amazing, all the old crap they have. But no luck, there wasn't anything close.
Pics of the doors I'm trying to match:
