  1. Budget Dinning Table - Dimensional Lumber and Concrete

    This is my third project involving concrete and I'm really enjoying finding new possibilities with this material. The cost for my 250 pound table was around $100. Because of the weight, I decided to pour it in place. The structure is made from 2 - 4×4's and 2 - 2×4's. The top is made from one...
  2. LumberJocks 2018 Boxswap

    This is the box a made for the 2018 Boxswap. It is made from pine and a darker wood that came from a weathered 4×4, so it could very well be pine also. I used a stacked method of shorter and longer strips to form the box joints. I wanted to do all the work by hand but I did end up ripping the...
  3. Basic Spice Rack

    Just a very basic spice rack, the shelves sit in dados and there are some simple rails to keep things in place. I wish I would have made it a bit bigger, taller perhaps, but it needed to fit this space and my wife is pretty short, lol. The wood is actually from an old 4×4 that my dad brought...
  4. Spalted LA bowl

    This bowl is turned from spalted liquid amber (sweetgum). I turned this for my pops birthday. I'm still trying to figure out my light tent but the photos are getting better. the spalting is more dramatic in real life, you can't really see it properly in the pics. It's 50mm deep by 140mm wide...
  5. Bluetooth Speaker Stand

    So for Father's Day I got an awesome gift of a little Bluetooth speaker and I decided that when I'm out in the deck a little stand would be awesome .. I had some scrap 4×4 and I decided to use that, I put two channels (1" wide and 1/2" wide on opposite sides of the 15" piece of wood, using my...
  6. Magazine Rack Cover

    So I've got this wire magazine rack, and I like to read in the comfy chair. I also like having a table or some such to put my drink and book down from time to time. Took a piece of curly maple, and came up with this. Two coats of spar urethane with a light sanding between them on the top, one...
  7. Chimney Cabinet

    When my wife and I moved into the house we're currently in, we realized that there was no pantry to keep dry food in. I didn't have a shop at the time, so I built this in a weekend up at my godfather's house. It's oak plywood with a red oak space frame for the front. The tops are solid oak glued...
  8. 4X4 Hub Unlock Tool

    My wife doesn't have the finger strength to lock and unlock the hubs on her 4X4, so I made this little doo-dad for her last night. Seeing that I was out of the country for the house move I couldn't supervise or even pack my old workshop, and I haven't been able to find most of my stuff. With...

    I am in the homestretch of finishing building my first "real" wood project. It is a basic crib that I am building for my son.

    I am building some farmhouse tables with untreated fir 4×4's from home depot. I am milling them down to about 3 3/8. My issue is how to cut them down to length accurately. I have a Bosch 12" axial glide, which I kind of hate. I have never been able to get it to cut accurately enough for my...

    I am building mochastatin's lathe stand. I am trying to assemble the feet to the stand, but I just cannot figure out the joinery for the 30 degree angle of the pieces that make up the feet. I would like to use a bridle joint, but cannot figure how to lay it out. For that matter, I struggle to...
