  1. Baby Furniture - Crib

    The second and final piece of baby furniture for our new baby. My goal was to have it finished by the time she was born, but the little rug rat decided to come 3 days early. Like the dresser/changing table the wood is Sappele Mahogany, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Because my...
  2. child's toybox

    This toybox is the 6th one I have done. The first trial version had foam letters from walmart. They were stuck on with a sticky pad on the back. We quickly learned that babies love to pull them off. From then on, we have only used wood letters. I have done a few initials (when names...
  3. Toddler Bed for my son

    I've found a lot of inspiration from LumberJocks community, and is typically the 1st place I look when planning a new project. I figured it's time I started giving back, and maybe someone will see something or some element that they would like ask about or find useful. I was in need of a new...
  4. Child's Rocking Chair

    My father in law is a woodworker and would make little rocking chairs for his great grandchildren when they were around two. He is getting up in years and has finally decided to "pass the torch" to a younger generation. My daughter's baby needed a little rocker like her big brother and this is...
  5. Rocky the motor cycle

    This rocking motor cycle emerged from 'Santa's Workshop' in 2005 for my little grandson Sam. The overall idea came from a magazine article but I heavily modified it. It's meant to represent a mid 1950's two-stroke trials bike with a Villiers engine, but scale model it's not! Materials were...
  6. 1st ever wood project! Toy shower 1:12 Scale

    I'm excited to show first project. A simple toy shower. It was cut as straight as I could with scroll saw- no pattern. Sanded. No stain/paint/little shower head etc as my 4 yr old refused to let it go! The tiny slits for curtain rod wire was a 1/16 hole then used the actual little scroll saw...
  7. Boat Bed Full Size | Custom

    This is a boat bed that was completed in November 2011. It is part of my Children's line of furniture It is one of four that I'm building at the same time. This customer requested custom color on the base. The portholes were an add-on and not usually on my standard version. For more...
  8. Ukulele Keiki

    Pattern design and cutting by Kris Martinson
  9. Friend's Daughter

    Pattern design and cutting by Kris Martinson. One of my Facebook friends posted a photo of his 4yo daughter, and I thought that her expression was so cute, that I asked my friend for permission to cut the piece. Wonderful feeling, giving him a permanent wooden portrait of his little girl, and...
  10. Loving Hands Memory Boxs and how Dr. Andy helped

    I just wanted to show off the boxes that were made and I only did 2 of them and Andy did 3 and another guy Joe did another 2 of them Here are the pictures. Also ND2ELK (Tom Stockbridge) sent me 2 boxes I have not yet put together. He gave me all the drawing how to do both. The lower one on...
  11. Mock Jail for family photo ops

    Our small town, Fairbury, Illinois, pop. 3,800…....still has a couple of jail cells in our 1892 old City Hall. Although it would make a great photo op for citizens and visitors to take their pictures, it needs a lot of renovation work…....and it is so small that it is hard to get a picture in...
  12. Oak Kid's table

    My boys, 2 and 4 yrs, needed a new table. The table was inspired by an Edward Barnsley piece I saw. I had a few oak boards on hand, and wanted to use them up. I thought it was all red oak, but it turns out one of the boards was white oak, which I had already designated for the top. Not wanting...
  13. Another Bear Chair

    This is the second of these that I've built. It's pretty straightforward but does demand precision in cutting the pieces if you expect a nice finished product. I think the next one I do may be cherry with a wormy chestnut nose. Until then, I'm building another dulcimer.
  14. Early learning toy influenced by Montessori

    A simple toy for toddlers to recognize shapes and numbers. It's made from 12mm plywood and 10mm dowel. Made using basic hand tools :) Numbers are burned on with a pyrography machine. There are details on how to make this on my Instructables page here...
  15. Child Adirondack Chair

    I built this child Adirondack chair over the weekend out of pine. I'm really happy with it, although I thought it would be easier but found it to be just as much work as the full sized one. (just as many parts & screws) I'm thinking about using a wood supper glue like Mitre Bond on the next...
  16. Toy Box

    After looking at tons of designs online, and taking into account that this is my second woodworking project, I decided to go simple. Of course, now that it is done I would have done it all differently. I guess I will make a second one when we have more kids and a bigger house. It was a lot of...
  17. Child's Picnic Table

    Ok, once you have made a picnic table for the adults you have to make one for the kids, especially when you have left over wood from making the adult picnic table. So, that is exactly what I did. This project is actually one I did completely on my own. No plans and no help from grandfather...
  18. Bandsaw Pork

    While I work on a bunch of bigger projects, I started to get the "never finish any project" syndrome. My niece is having a birthday soon, so I decided to make her a piggybank. All this took was 6 cuts on 1" pine on the bandsaw - I freehanded the templates. Glued up, did a bunch of sanding...
  19. wood table and chair set for child just starting to walk and learning to sit.

    My nephew needed a table and chair set to sit at as he is starting to walk using furniture to get around to keep his balance. The chairs are at the right height for a 8 month boy to start out with. he has a brother on the way so that is why I made two chairs. These were my own design. I looked...
  20. Window Seat and toybox

    This is a window seat I just finished this afternoon. I made it out of 3/4" birch plywood and painted it with oil base. The construction I used is to cut a rectangle lid, then essentially wrap it with 5" wide strips of plywood to give it an even look. The pieces on either side of the lid are...
