Since there are a few woodworkers on this forum that share projects and knowledge, i figured it's okay to share this here.

Wood whisperer has an annual fundraiser that started out raising funds to fight cancer, and it has evolved to fundraising to support a cause. This year it is raising funds to support Rob Cossman's Purple Heart project.

Concept is simple, build projects, bid on nice stuff, or donate money.

I reached out to them to see if posting on here would be consistent with their goals of the fundraiser, as they provide a free WW build plan set for people sharing, and I don't do other social media channels. They have graciously said yes, so I'm sharing with my extended Aggie network.

Here is a link to the page:

To be consistent, here are pics of what I am about to start building once I finish another set of planter boxes. A friend wanted this LP cabinet, made with solid walnut and brass (sent me an AI image to show desired product). I have very little sketch up skills, but with the help of their free AI tool and modeling software have set out the dimensions and plans in a way I can now start a cut list, joinery plan and panel glue up. Once I get into the build, I'll post some update pics here too.

Also posting my receipt of donation as part of participation, some really cool stuff on the auction too.

Spent some time getting boards ripped and ready for panel glue ups. Filled knots with epoxy. Broke down and bought an entry level dust collector. Amazing how much quieter and more dust it sucks than a shop vac. Brass came in also. I think this will turn out nice…. Not Agrams level but still a fun build.

Small update. Each cabinet will have a brass bar across the front to hold the records in place. Shopped some hardware and found some brass cabinet pull disks. Decided with the friend to use these disks on the outside as they look like a record and will cover the small insert that will hold the bar. Will recess the disk about 1/8th inch so they are flush with the outside.

Regarding the fundraiser- big day is today and looks like it is on track to meet their goal. I'm out bid on all of the items, but glad it's working out for the charity.
