  1. Projects Reclaimed Barn Beam Bench "Calliope"

    A very old barn board is the seat. Pinkish/red epoxy channels and reinforcement in cracks help keep this board straight and together. One leg is another barn board while the other leg is a 10.75" diameter tube steel powder coated grey. Both legs are diagonally supported by triangular barn...
  2. Stationary Gantry Crane (ie Beam with a chain hoist)

    I recently purchased an older Tannewitz Model U table saw and needed to figure out a way of safely unloading it from the trailer. I found several examples of wooden gantry cranes and decided that the easiest and most reliable option for me would be to just add a beam over one bay of my shop. The...
  3. Yard Sign

    My parents recently built a new house on a few acres. I snagged one of the floor beams from the old farm house that had to come down (still had bark on 2 edges). The grey/brown surface of the letters is just the aged face of the beam.
  4. Oak Beam Mantel

    For our new house I wanted to add a little bit of a personal touch. I found an old oak beam in one of the lofts of a barn on my wife's family farm and decided that it would make the perfect accent to the fireplace I was installing. After power washing and removing all the dirt, dust and grime of...
  5. Contemporary Reclaimed Barn Wood Side Table

    This contemporary table was one I built for fun. It's made from a reclaimed white oak "door buck" (threshold) from a stack we have at the yard. It's 3" thick and 24"x24". The cube is a 24"x24"x24" steel frame I welded and then had chrome dipped. It's a very simple design. I like having all the...
  6. Simple Beam Compass

    I made this a while back, but it might be useful as an idea for someone. I needed a compass to draw out the wheels for my homemade bandsaw and created this. It was a very quick project made from scraps and I've used it a lot since making it :) It's made by gluing a small 6mm piece in-between...
  7. Japanese Planing Beam (Modified!)

    If you prefer not to read, the video is here. Complete with a bevy of mistakes and tomfoolery. View on YouTube So with the limited space I have I've found it difficult to have a good size work bench. So I endeavored to find a way to get the maximum amount of versatility and work space with...
  8. Japanese Saw Horses

    If you prefer not to read, the video is here View on YouTube I had wanted a pair of these style of horses for a while. Since I am very limited on space I wanted something to use in tandem with my planing beam that would let me work with wide panels for future projects. These are about...
  9. Monster Cribbage Board

    I am certain I mentioned before that I am still very much a beginner. I also have a lot of help from my kid who is 12 and can be a bit distracted at times. With that all up front here is a monster cribbage board that we made for a friend of mine. He and I play every chance we get and I know that...
  10. My Home

    This is my living room. We built the house in 1980. I was the contractor, did the cabinets and trim, painting, ceramic tile, and plastic laminate. Wow, makes me tired all over thinking about it. The mantle is rough cedar (the beam is mitered 1 x material to look like a solid beam) The brackets...

    Made the reception desk for the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art in Wausau, WI. The top is made out of reclaimed Douglas fir beams that were holding up the old Rothschild pavilion. One of our many many late nights at the museum.
  12. Buffet table for the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art

The top is the same beams we used for the reception desk which were reclaimed Douglas fir beams from the Rothschild pavilion. We decorated the front of the table with some old tractor bolts and washers. The legs are...
  13. Farmall tractor sofa table.

    Saw machineagelamps.com at an art show and I like their stuff. So I tried my hand at a sofa table inspired by them. I found this tractor front end when we were tearing down a barn, and we made this table from it. I added some turnbuckles for support as the top piece was twisted. They keep it...
  14. Simple Reclaimed Beam Mantle

    This is one of the h4s (hand-hewn four sides) softwood beams from our barn wood lot. The customer picked it out and gave us the dimensions. They wanted it natural (unfinished). It's held up by a red oak french cleat. The cleat sits in a routed out pocket in the back of the beam and is 3/4"...
  15. Beam Stool

    I have made a couple of these stool so far. Five I think. They are constructed out of old pine barn beams. After I square the beams on our bandsaw mill, I make several angled cuts on the table saw and bandsaw. Holes are then drilled for 1" bodock dowels. After a little hammering, grunting and...
  16. From Timber Beam to Table

    I salvaged this huge 8 foot long 8×10 timber beam during my renovations a couple years ago. I just couldn't let the construction crew toss it in the dumpster (and I'm sure they were happy to let me keep it and save on the weight). I finally came up with an idea to turn it into a side table. I...
  17. Timber Frame Dog Kennel

    It has been two years since our last dog passed and my wife an I decided to get two Golden Retrievers. We needed a safe place to keep the dogs while we ran errands so we decided to build a 10' x 14' Timber Frame kennel. This was also a good project to work on while in isolation due to...

The feeder is mounted aprox. 6' off the ground on a real cherry tree base I had to cut due to disease. As you can see by the...
  19. Tiki Island Oasis

    The Ultimate Poolside Tiki Island Refreshment Table Oasis was a great day of woodworking, refreshment sampling, swimming and cookout. When i started working with wooden pallets, building 'Pallirondack" chairs, Double Settees, coffee tables, etc., my buddy asked if I could build a tiki island...
  20. Kitchen Island 53

    I bought an old work table from the Amish and turned it into a kitchen island for our house. The top is maple with some new elm and cherry pieces. It also has 53 circle inlays that are walnut, hickory, and maple. The inlays are where there was imperfections in the top. I also wanted the look...
