Another new thing for me....curved router sled. I designed the seat for this bench to have a concave shape. Then of course I had to figure out how I would accomplish that. After a little research I designed and cut out the curved sled and a base for the Bosch router on my cnc. The jig setup is screwed to my workbench so I can slide the bench seat through the jig. It took 3 passes to get the depth i wanted. Now I just need to cut this beast to length and do some edge work on it. Then of course sanding and finishing 👌🏻 . . #stuffsethmakes #americancraftsman #sethmondragon #routersled #routerjig #benchseat #concave #hardmaple #customseating #customfurniture #oneoff #madebyhand #handcraftedfurniture #newproject #tryingnewthings #alwayslearning #newtechnique #woodworking #woodworker #localmaker

I know, i know....more Zelo Side Tables. I can't help it if people love ordering them 😉 Seriously though, i'm very grateful for my orders and i still can't believe people want to have something i came up with. I might be getting close to 50 of these at this point. 💥CRAZY💥 Enjoy these works in progress and the sounds of PETRA rocking the soundtrack 😎 . . #sethmondragon #americancraftsman #stuffsethmakes #ZeloSideTable #sidetables #worksinprogress #ilovemycustomers #walnutfurniture #Petra #PetraRocks #christianrock #smallshops #garageshop #keepworking

Zelo Side Table in white oak! Headed to Cheney, Kansas!💛 Finished with @odiesoil as usual👌🏻 This is the only white oak version I've ever done...it's dense and it's heavy. Might not offer this option anymore haha! I used to ship these in a double-thick cardboard box that I custom modified. It worked great, untiiiilllll it didn't (am I right Matt M.? 🤦🏻‍♂️). It only takes once. Now I've been building my own wooden shipping crates for close to two years and i'm batting 1000. I hope the streak continues...hence my logo 🤞🏻 😂 . www.sethmondragon.com . #sethmondragon #americancraftsman #stuffsethmakes #whiteoak #sidetables #handcraftedfurniture #ZeloSideTable #theonlyone #shippingnationwide #nationwideshipping #kansas #signedsealeddelivered #furnituremaker #furniturebuilder #heavywood #annewilson

Sam Maloof Residence And Workshop Tours Southern California - Which Is The Best Tour - Craftsman — Seth Mondragon | American Craftsman | Handmade Furniture and Decor | San Diego, Southern California and Beyond I don’t know why it took me so long to take one of the tours of the Sam Maloof residence up in Alta Loma, California. Several years ago I had seen a sign on the freeway (I think it was the 210 east… maybe? I dunno) pointing to an exit for the Sam Maloof residence. It was early in my woodworking ...

Tried resawing some tall (10.5") walnut on my Jet bandsaw the other day for an upcoming veneer project. Didn't turn out too bad! Already learning some things, so that's also good, haha!
