Finished what |I had been working on for the last few day and was wondering what I could do quick like. Then the light bulb turned on and an idea started to surface. We had used these salt shakers for years and years, when empty we would refill them through the pour hole. They are great in the...

Begin grunting now!

After a grueling month, I have finished the deck. I started by removing the old deck and lattice rails that were painted and peeling badly. After starting, it rained 30 days straight in Ohio and that really delayed my progress. After the rain, I refaced the deck and built the benches and...

I was playing around with some Sculpey clay a few weeks ago and came up with a funny looking fish that I liked. After I carved him, I got to thinking about what to do with him and came up with this little scene. It was fun thinking of what an "old school" fish might look like and I am already...

I built this table this past winter for a friend of ours who is an interior designer. She sent me a picture from a magazine and said build me this. The only guidance she gave me was that it needed to seat six and she wanted it to look old. The wood is heart pine. I found it at a place in...

I started out to refinish a 604, and 607 Bedrock plane for myself. Well things got a little out of hand and I ended up with a 604, 3 605's, 2 607's, and pieces and parts here and there. I refinished all but one of the 607's (which was in the nicest shape of all of them) with all of the various...

After buying a dust collector system that wouldn't fit my machine, I decided to make my own. The panels are 1/8" bead board that I had laying around. The sides are bolted on. The back covers are held on with magnetic tape. I used hardware store foam insulation to seal the table to the base. The...

This was a simple chest I made for my son over a weekend. He wanted something to put his pirate stuff in. I decorated it with strips of leather strapping and rivets. I also carved his initials into the front.

This is a piece of semi-green wood that was essentially a practice piece for me. Turned into a small bowl. No real ideas about what I was making, what shape, etc… it just kinda evolved. I've decided that spindle turning and faceplate turning are way way different! I believe that this is...
