The Pioneer Work Shop

The Pioneer Work Shop

Welcome to The Pioneer Workshop.

My name is Denny Freitas. I am recently retired and have decided to try my hand as a craftsman. I have always wanted to build things using wood.

There are so many things you can build with wood. My first projects were two medium size boxes using pine with oak inlays.

Since I am brand new I will be sharing my learning experiences here on KZread. I will be making projects from start to finish, purchasing and reviewing tools, building shop organization projects, I even plan on building a new work shop!

I have just purchased or retirement home in Pioneer, CA. A small town in the Sierra Mountains where I am currently working from my garage. I have plans to build a dedicated workshop on our property, which I will also document on this KZread channel.

I am excited about sharing The Pioneer Work Shop projects with you.

Thanks for visiting, Denny

    You're not kidding... these are time-consuming. I'm 5 days in on just milling from 8/4 live edge slabs to the proper thickness. And I haven't even started cutting out shapes yet! I'm going to template route instead of sanding to the line. This is for two rockers.

    hi,I am at the stage of assembly.For one,is it necessary to use a nail gun for assembly? Is that a brad nail gun,or a pin gun.I dont have one that is why i ask.all new to me,i just dont like the little holes it leaves at the end of project,although it can be filled.any info on the type of nail gun would be appreciated...great video,you make it look so easy. thanks

    Hi, I use a pin gun. I think it’s necessary. Unless you have a helper to hold the wood in position. Which I don’t so I use the pin nails to hold in place prior to drilling. Thanks Denny

    Thanks for posting this video. I am currently working on four of these chairs (2 chairs) +(2 rockers). I thought I was going insane with all the sanding. Glad to see I am not the only one. I have also been looking at the sander you invested in, so I will probably look to add it to my arsenal of tools. I was also wondering about David Miller's suggestion to use flush trim bits. Thanks again!

    For even better quality, take the corners and hole down with a 1/4" round over bit. It will look really good, and will save the bags from ripping.
