This murphy wall bed is my common Euro design. On this one, I moved the leg up a little. This freed up a little space on the face of the bed. I think it is a good look to it. Don't know if I want to change it as the "official" euro design yet (lots of internet pictures would have to be...

I am still working on the doors for this bookcase.

My new bookcases, ignore the opening casing still working on that. Took me three months to build these and learned a lot- the biggest lessons are: 1. Houses are REEAAALLY crooked 2. Do not use oak plywood unless you want the oak texture 3. Hold on to wood when using router table (lets just...

Thanks again Daryl. Another project from the dumpster. I originally thought I would have bookcases and a window seat but knew I would use the sewing table much more. My machines all fit in the bottom drawers and supply's in the top ones. Constructed from plywood using pocket hole joinery. I...

This is the project that got me to set up my shop. As a contractor I built our home about eight years ago, and had received a bid for $10,000 to build the bookcases for my office. I decided I could buy the tools necessary and the lumber for less money and still have the tools for future...
