SWMBO ask for place to keep monies flat and orderly ahead of bank day. Had a chunk of purpleheart kicking around and made this box.
Purpleheart cash keeper
The box is 1/4” stock except for the weight which is full 15/16”. The full width stock was sanded to make the finger curve so both sides would be exact copies after resawing. I have about a 5/32” thick center cut with an odd semicircle cutout.
The half moon grip was cut from a piece of scrap mahogany using my pla...

I made several variants of this table, all with the same tiles. If you think the oak prototype is nice you should see it in jatoba (I’m still looking for more pics)
Oh yeah, its been 20 years since this original build post and that table is still going strong. One of the bottom slats got trod upon years ago but otherwise it is holding up well. Its been used so much that the pattern on the edges of the tiles has begun to wear off. It’s had no end of spills and slop on it with li...

This is a four foot diameter folding top game table.
Table in Up Position
The top is red oak, while the base is white ash.
The popsicle base is half lapped with bandsawed bun feet.
Table in Down Position
The hard part was the pivot mechanism without any metal parts. A piece of closet rod acts as the pivot with a dowel acting as the locking pin.
Sold it in a consignment shop for $600.

Made several of these Jatoba coffee tables. Bought the cherry legs but made everything else.

This top had a very rare jatoba knot that was featured instead of being hidden:
The knot from hell!

This was a bookcase that was to support heavy loads without sagging. The front of the shelves was trimmed with a piece of 1×2 that acts both as a decoration and a stiffener.
The back shelf support is hidden. Each shelf has a tongue milled into the back edge. The back (1/4” ply) is made in consecutive pieces so the back looks like one piece but is really three. The tongue and the separate pieces form a stressed web structure to support the back side.

This is a desk I built. The legs are store bought and biscuited into the frame.
The trim on top prevents things from falling off and adds a nice visua; touhc. The open slots are big enough to hold 8-1/2” x 11” sheets.
Its built from cheap pine stained with … some dark color stain.
Slant top opens with piano hinge.
Top detail shows pencil groove.
Apron bead is sorta my style mark. I put it on lots of projects just because.
Picture stand to left is another pr...
