Today's #tooltuesday post shows off my open- ended Ryobi #drumsander. This is how I'm able to flatten pieces which are too wide for my thickness #planer. The drum is 16" wide, so it can handle pieces up to 32" by flipping the project on each pass.

I made this cute #bathroom #shelf for a customer last year. Solid #cherry, #handmade, and custom fit to the room it hangs in!

Enjoying my #coffee in a nearly deserted #PatriotPlace this morning. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I made a silly #mistake. Building a 30" bistro table for a customer. Too big for my planer and will max out my drum sander. So I built it three sections. Shouldn't have started shaping until all three were complete. Best part of #woodworking: there's always a way to move forward!

Happy Anniversary to my incredible wife! Your love and support keeps me going every single day. I hope our adventures never end! #tlvalle #happyanniversary #LoveStory #June25

Here's a sampling of some of my current #projects. Top left: The start of two matching #servingtrays. Top right: Three unique #clipboards. Bottom: Two walnut #plaques in the works. Lots of other projects in the works too! #smallbusiness

One last picture from the #rustic #sandwichboard project I completed last week. I just love how these boards came out. Hopefully the customer will be willing to share a picture of the finished #sign! #smallbusiness #supportlocal

For this Throwback Thursday, here's a picture of TLValle Woodworking's very first social media picture. I focused on outdoor furniture when I first started. I've come a long way since then! #tbt #woodworking #woodshop #smallbusiness

This is what my #cuttingboards look like when I get them home from the #lumber yard. Usually between 4 and 8 feet long, rough cut #exotic lumber. From here it will get cut to thin 4-foot and then into strips. Any leftovers will be saved as shorts or for other #projects.

Yesterday my #helper and I were joined by his grandfather and made a big upgrade to the #woodshop! Looking forward to putting this new toy in service.

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

My #helper has been crushing it on the field this season! After this picture was taken, he stole 2nd... then stole 3rd... then STOLE HOME! Sometimes the #woodshop can wait. #littleleague Good luck today, bud!

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

NEW RULE: If you're going to send me #mouthwatering pictures of my #cuttingboard in action, you have to share some of that yummy #food with me! These #customer-submitted pictures of my work are so awesome. #smallbusiness #woodshop

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

At this point, I think this particular #customer is just trying to make me jealous! One of my #favorite #surprises is getting #pictures from happy customers. Look at how happy that #cuttingboard looks! #smallbusiness #endgrain #kitchen

I spend 48 hours each week answering calls for help. Today is one of those days. Stay safe out there, I'd rather meet you at a craft show than in an emergency! #IAFF #PFFM #firefighter #paramedic #neverforget

How many #screwdrivers is too many?? Here's a view of my wood shop you don't normally see... a top down shot of my screw driver drawer! I've collected a few over the years, as you can see! #woodshop #IHaveAProblem #ThisWouldMakeAGoodPuzzle

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

The two faces of these #rustic #sandwich boards are coming together nicely. Tomorrow they'll get sealed since they will be displayed #outdoors. #rushorder #smallbusiness

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

Throwing together a #rustic #sandwich board for a #friend who runs a #sign shop. Should look pretty cool when complete! #sandwhichboard #rushorder #signshop #smallbusiness

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

A little... um... #product #development #research I did this #weekend. Potential order for #beer #flights on the horizon, so I need to understand what I'm getting into. Right?!

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

This large #Maple #cuttingboard is simple, but #elegant and #functional. Show your guests you're serious about preparing #dinner! Available now on my website. #handmade #smallbusiness

[TLValle Woodworking @TLValle]

This is me! I usually prefer pictures of what I'm making rather than pictures of me. But sometimes I have to prove it really is me doing the work. Most of my work involves #cuttingboards and #servingtrays, I also do quite a bit of custom work. What can I do for you?
