  1. Diamond Top Box

    I really like checkerboards, and I had the thought recently that it might be cool to use one for a box top. My second thought was that, to add some visual interest, why not turn it 45 degrees to make it more like a diamond pattern. I thought the effect of rounding over the edges and leaving them...

  3. Built in Bookcases with Window Seat

    These bookcases and window seat have been a long time in the making… I started the week of July 4th last year and I'm finally just about done with them! I worked on it in small bursts on nights and weekends, an hour or two then I wouldn't get any time for a couple of weeks… nearly a year goes...
  4. Built in Bench

    I had a client reach out to have a bench built into their dining room space. They wanted to replace their large dining table and chairs to regain valuable space in that area of their home. They have an awesome entertaining space in the back yard with a massive patio and pool area, but to get...

  6. Master Bedroom Built In Wardrobe

    Hi all, some more built ins! Is this the right forum for built ins do you think? Anyway, more sloping roofs, more carcasses to fit in! I really enjoy douig these built ins. It's just MDF with a paint finish, but it is still quite satisfying to have a completed project with which the client is...
  7. Cherry Wainscoting

    Here is the cherry wainscoting I designed and installed in my office downtown. The panels are stub tenon and groove construction, with a few well placed pocket hole screws to simplify assembly. Two corbels are let onto the stiles with 1/4" deep grooves. There are two 6' panels, one 32" panel...
  8. My first built-ins

    My cousin asked me to build some built-ins, originally for her living room so they could house their TV a bit better than it was previously being used. They had it on an old dresser that was awkwardly placed in the corner. We went through a few iterations and finally landed on doing the built-in...
  9. First Turned Bowls

    The spouse and I took a bowl turning course at Lee Valley. The instructor was the best teacher and most patient man I have ever met. He made something that seemed very daunting before we tried it seem like child's play. We have a Delta midi lathe and I know that there will be many more of these...
  10. Built in Cabinets

    Built in Cabinets that I built at the request of the wife. She wanted them to put all the tv equipment and to store the boys toys out of site. I had to build two different cabinets as the two spots left and right of the fire place where not the same. 4th picture is what it looked like before...
  11. Builtin Cabinets

    These are builtin cabinets I built for our new home. Glad to finally have these completed. These are the first cabinets with Doors I have built. Thanks to some help from the forum I was able to get the spacing for the doors just like I wanted. I will try and get a pic of the cabinets open.
  12. Up to NOW

    Yeah, I put multiple projects in one post. Sorry to buck the system. I figured just this one time, as my first posting, I'd throw up a few of the things I've done. Multiple pics of each project would have been nicer. I'll be more descriptive in the future. I'm excited by what I've found on the...
  13. A Whole House Full of Stuff

    On Friday we (almost) completed work on a whole houseful of furniture that we have been working on since June. It is an amazing house and I have posted photos of the completed project on my blog .. check them out if you have a minunte …...
  14. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi, all. I'm doing my first set of built-ins. Quick question: What is the standard way to attach the upper bookshelves to the base cabinets? My built-ins will look very much like those of Jim Savage , except stained, not painted. Many thanks, Rebecca

    my old delta contractors saw was a whole kerf outta alignment last year ( seems a piece of wood was jammed on the motor and when turning to 45 degrees it pushed the blade way outs alignment)and it was a real pain to get it right, hammer, clamps, trunnion bolts that I had to find by feel but 4...
  16. Sweating for Bucks Through Woodworking
    Hey guys, I recently posted on calculating overhead and talked about how I came up with my price when quoting. I'm now hoping you might be able to offer advice on being comfortable with your pricing. My pricing is materials, labor, overhead and profit. Let's say 20% profit as my start. In my...

    Hey guys, I'm building a set of builtin cabinets for a client. Basic two door lower cabinets, counter top and bookshelf on the top. For this build the lower cabinets are built separately from the bookshelves. The entire construction is 3/4" poplar ply with solid poplar doors and face frame...

    I recently bought this planer from HD for a great price. I have had the same model for 4 years and it has worked fine. When I test cut a piece of 4/4 oak it would not run through the planer. Same result with a piece of pine. The boards were flat and square on all surfaces. I rose the cutter head...
  20. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I'm thinking of attempting to buid some built ins in two recessed areas near my fire place. I made the mistake of giving the wife two choices and she picked the harder idea. To build some cabinets on the bottom that tie into our baseboards with shelves that go to the ceiling. I've never built...
