I've been needing a dust pan for my shop for a while. I have a cheap one, but in order to sweep up, I end up having to bend down, and with my bad back, that's no fun. So when I saw the one in Popular Woodworking by The Schwarz, I added that to my to-do list. I cut a couple pieces of elm for the...

I made two of these captains beds for our twin daughters. That was years ago and the girls are in college now. The problem is neither girl will allow us to get rid of the beds so we are stuck storing them until "someday" when they want to use them with their own kids. Each bed has 14 drawers...

VIDEO: PLANS: See step-by-step instructions on Shaper Hub to make this project with Shaper Origin DavePolaschek saw me tweeting about hand planes on Twitter. Said, "hey, check out lumberjocks.com" (or something to that effect) and I started posting projects. Then he said "hey, check out this...

I finally got around to building a plane rack to go with the chisel rack I built earlier in the year. It doesn't hold all of my planes, just the ones I use most. I say that but like most people, I don't use all of the Stanley bench planes. They look cool though. I'm still in the process of...

Made this little desk and chair a few months ago for my 3 year old daughter, it was one of those 'make it up as you go along' projects. She needed somewhere to keep all her art supplies (she loves painting and drawing) and it made sense to incorporate it into a little easel. It's pretty much a...

Just a fun little project done between the bigger ones. Walnut sides, oak base, oak ply back, plexi front, mystery wood dowel, all with natural danish oil finish

Well…sorry about the pictures…I was madly shining this one up and forgot to take pictures because I was in a hurry to get to the surprise party…wasnt going to post it until I realized the pictures from the Party turned out pretty good… Meet my colleague James…a fellow history teacher and a...

Just about exactly a year ago, I posted a project called the Vic-tar. That project was a gift for our musically gifted student pastor who was leaving us after a year of "student preaching". Well it's that time a year again, and I might have set precedence for myself, with the endeavor to...

First, I was unsure as to the best place to post this "project". The handles are made of wood, right? They were sanded and refinished with a couple coats of tung oil. The plane was cleaned and repainted. The iron sharpened and the back flattened. I am a hand plane beginner. I have recently...

Here are my first two fountain pens from "Classic" kits from PennState. Top is Rosewood and turned beautifully. It's got great whirls and figuring in the cap that didn't quite make it to the photograph. Middle is White and Black Ebony with very little white grain, but good figuring and a...

Ok, so the project is a little more involved than just the woodworking, but I couldn't show the work I did on the 2 Totes without them being mounted on the tool. I found this Plane in a bucket in an open shed. It had a missing handle and wasn't in very good condition. i suppose I could have...

I made this plane from a Hock Tools plan. It is 6" long and has a 1 1/4" Hock blade set. The core is Yellow Poplar, sides are Red Oak, the wedge is Walnut. The cross pin is Cherry drilled through to accept the handle from a discarded foam brush as the tenon. The sole plate is Bois d' Arc and...

I was goofing off on the lathe today, and with nothing more to turn than a few small pieces of redwood I popped this thing out. I have a desire to make a full size hollow form sometime, so this was a bit of practice… I custom ground a tool just to hollow this bad boy out. I would say the...

Hey Guys, So I started this project, because I had built in the past a coffee table and Side Table. I had wood left over from those projects (small sticks of Ash, that I was given), so I had been itching to get it off my lumber rack. My wife has been bugging me for a shoe rack, so I came up...
