My wife likes to cook for us and I would see her trying to prop things up or use a magnet on the fridge but it was always inconvenient. So, I made her a recipe holder that she could use magnets to hold a printed out recipe to or use a chalk marker to write her own. I stained it and sealed it...

This was a project that I was inspired to do based on another LJer's post of a similar chalkboard. I made mine out of black walnut. This was my first attempt at doing fluting on columns and the result was very good. I really enjoy the Dewalt compact router and now understand the value of having...

This is a wedding present I made for my wife's friend and her fiance. The wedding is this weekend and wifey is one of the bridesmaids. The couples last name begins with a B so I burned the B into the top portion with my little woodburning tool, not bad for my first attempt at woodburning...

This is a murphy wall bed that was completed in March 2011. It was one that had to have a lot of pre-planning. The customer, which is located out of state, wanted it built in. It was a not so typical configuration on the layout. The ceiling had a 45 degree turn about 7" down. We also had to...

I built this little set of hanging shelves loosely based on a shaker design that I came across. The wood is reclaimed southern pine tongue and groove sub roofing from the dump. There are a also a few whitewood cleats on the back (not shown) cut from european manufactured pallets that I got free...

About 3 months ago my wife handed me a small chalkboard and "asked" me to make a frame for it. After crossing some other things off the honey-do list (roto-tilling her new garden, making a small box for her oils, etc.), much contemplation, and the determination to get all projects finished by...

This is a shop project i built last year. The chalk or black board panel was purchased at Home Depo, and the frame is made of Quartersawn Red Oak. The overall dimentions are 4'x2'. For the frame finish, I used some left over dark gel stain I had left over from when I made two night stands...

This is a pair of murphy beds that I built with a bookcase in the middle. The pull out tray can be used as a writing surface/desk if desired. The Chalkboard Murphy Bed face is chalkboard paint with the rest being black lacquer. The black lacquer has a heavy distressing on it to match an...

This is a different version of my Chalkboard Murphy Wall bed that was completed on 9-30-2008. On this version the customer requested that we do pegboard on one side and the chalkboard on the other. All other wood surfaces were finished in a cherry finish. Here are some others that I've...

These chalk boards were made from trim Rosettes generously provided to me by my l/j friend Charles (Helluvawreck). The dimensions are approximately 222X24 inches or something like that. :) The side pieces are pine 1X4. A Kreg jig was used to connect the rosettes to the side pieces. The...

I made this toy box for my niece and nephew for Christmas. I hope they don't read this. It is a design that I came up with one day. I am sure that there are others that are similar shaped out there. One feature that I added was the chalkboard on the top. It is removable and is attached to the...

This was one of my most challenging and satisfying projects to date. The carving on this frame was done entirely using power tools (table saw, band saw, sanding drum, and router). I did a 5-part blog series on building this frame, which can be found here. The wood I used is just cheap pine from...

Wow, it's been over three years since I posted a project to LumberJocks. Man, how time flies when you move across the country, start a family, and generally just get side tracked. I've certainly been playing in the shop but with my recent projects I've either not felt like posting them or just...
