  1. Shop Carts

    Problem: Need to safely move projects, parts, portable equipment, or lumber with out having an armful of items that may fall. Solution: Shop Cart that has one set of legs longer to make ease of moving, also cut lists, white prints, or notes can be attached. Place carpet on cart transport...
  2. MFC Upgrade

    We needed additional work surfaces that worked with our Festool clamps, Veritas planing stops, and a way to attach our Woodtek picture frame jig and corner V nailer pneumatic gun. After looking at the Festool table we concluded we did not have enough space for another work table. This led us to...
  3. Oak Pedalboard

    This is a project that has been long in the making. Since it does have electronics components and I wanted to make sure everything was just right, planning took a very long time. It also took a while to get parts in that I had to order. I am so glad to have it finished and usable. The whole...
  4. Tile friendly Drinking Stool

    Boys and Girls, This was a quick dirty project I undertook and thought I'd test the stool while I prepared this "short for me" write up. To tell the truth I just had to re-glue a carpeted disc and used the pictures I took (other than the gallery ones) a few months ago for the write up.. A few...
  5. Washer Board Game

    Not one of my best works by far, but it was a quick and easy project that only took about 30min to accomplish. Pretty fun game if you've never played before. My next game project will be some corn hole boards!
  6. Re-Do

    Not every project has to be complicated. This is a re-do of a cat climber we made about 20 years ago when we couldn't afford to buy one and all the tools I had were hand-tools except for a skill saw! I guess it was worth $30 in materials and the day we spent building it to have lasted this...
  7. I swear I'm not a cat person

    Here's a very old picture, another one that predates my shop, built this cat tower about 5 years ago for my daughters since they were adopting two cats, it stands about 6 feet tall and wedges perfectly into the corner behind the fireplace. Made out of left over plywood, few 4×4's and found some...
  8. Flying Carpet

    This is my favorite project so far. I suspended a 13"x11" piece of fabric over a wooden base using magnetic repulsion. Under the fabric there's an array of neodymium magnets that corresponds with an identical and opposite array under the top layer of curly maple on the base. The corners are...
  9. Drum Riser (stage)

    One of my other hobbies is to play bass and lead vocals in a classic rock cover band. Over the years when we look at pictures of the band our drummer Jeff is always hidden from view so I set out to build him a fold up drum riser. The platform itself consists of three pieces of plywood that are...
  10. Four Drawers in Four Woods

    January, 2011-My 16-year old daughter decided to make her second band saw box. This is a Ventura-inspired design that stands about 18-inches tall. The center wood is hickory, flanked by western red cedar and zebrawood. The handles are padauk.There are a couple of coats of spray lacquer...
  11. Cat Tree

    relatively simple cat climbing tree/scratching post. I used two sono-tubes one 12" the other 8" for the round parts. Contact cemented the carpet onto the round parts, stapled onto the flat bits. The pride all love to hang out in it.
  12. Pet Ramp

    We have an aging Jack-Russell Terrier that was showing signs of difficulty on her pet stairs. As an alternative, I decided to build a ramp for her to climb up onto the bed with. The concept was simple enough, though I wanted to incorporate some elegance into it - as well as lighten the weight...
  13. Finishing
    Here are a couple cribbage boards I've made. These are finished with "tung oil finish" I have mixed feelings about the results. I've been told that pure tung oil will give better results. What are your suggestions? I'm relatively new to finishing, so I would appreciate all the help I can get!
  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I found a Jet table saw Model JS10 from a private party. It is belt driven, and seems to have a cast aluminum top. It also has a left tilting blade. He wants $175. I have only seen a picture of the saw, as he lives 100 miles away. The saw looks in very nice shape. I also have looked at a...
  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Received an email from Carter today that they are offering 20% discount on orders over $150. To my knowledge they only do this sale once a year. December 5 ends the 8th. Says to use coupon code WWW1213 on line or by phone. I love the stabilizer I have from them for my band saw boxes. Their web...
  16. Wood & Lumber
    I'm looking at cherry lumber at some online dealers and they are listing the following grades: - No. 1 common or better - 90/80 Prime cherry - 90/50 Prime cherry Can you explain the differences (visual aids help!) and examples of what I'd want to use and where in furniture; for example if I am...
  17. Focus on the Workspace
    I've got a new shop building I'm setting up. I bought a modular building (AKA - portable school classroom) and it came with carpeting in it. It's some sort of industrial carpeting in gray and quite frankly it's in pretty darn good shape. You can see it in the pic below… That said, how many of...
  18. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Dear Friends, I have purchased this cool old mahogany mirror/shelf kinda thing that I want to use over a powder room vanity. I would like to make a shelf for the bottom that is appropriately radiused and profiled from a mahogany board that I have purchased. I need some help on how to set...
