I've heard about ApplePly for years, but never found a reasonably local source for it. Fortunately one of the woodworking stores, only an hour and a half from here, is carrying it. I go there from time to time, so it's a good opportunity to pick some up. I'll tell you... after working so much with construction-grade plywood and hardwood plywood that isn't much better, I'm impressed with the ApplePly. I explain why it's so great in this video.

The Good Lord blessed us with our first great grandchild this past weekend and while watching golf there was a commercial that depicted an elderly couple wrapping up a rocking horse presumably as a gift for a grandchild. My ever supportive wife made the comment that I had better get started making a rocking horse so it would be ready by the time our great grandchild was old enough to use it. I'm not that slow, just have a lot of things going on. I was looking through all the plans I've got on my computer and don't have any for a rocking horse and I'm hoping someone in this group can steer to a good plan.

I'm in Illinois, getting close to retirement. I started dabbing into woodworking about four years ago, only got real serious about it this past year, still learning a lot. Right now just doing general woodworking but did mange to build a station for my miter saw and a out feed table for my job site table saw.

My daughter in law asked me to make a hall cabinet (to put shoes and other accessories in). I had to build it as per the picture and as per the exact measurements she gave me 🤔. I had no room for my own input 😥. For the build I used green MDF (sturdier than the standard MDF). Since there are no handles, I had to use Blum hinges (with push to open) for the doors and f Blum movento (with soft close and push to open) for the drawer. Hereunder a few pictures of the build process.

Almost done with the table, so far my daughter is in love with it. Daughters love ❤️
