  1. Saw Benches

    These are small benches about 20" tall to make hand sawing easier. They also work great as step stools and shop seating. They are made from Doug Fir 2×10. The design is from Chris Schwarz, Lost Art Press. They stack to save space.
  2. Dutch (Turning) Tool Chest

    I built this Dutch Tool Chest to hold my turning tools. I wanted a chest where each turning chisel was easily accessible during use and for storage and somewhere I could keep all of my turning equipment in one place. The chest has a height adjustable rack built into the back of the chest to...
  3. Anarchist Tool Chest- C. Schwarz Inspired

    Previously, I posted a project about rescuing an old tool chest that had been sitting in a horse stable for at least the last 4 decades.

    Hi. First post, new woodworker, be gentle. My sum total of woodworking experience is nailing together a very modest workbench out of construction-grade 2×4s and some MDF and hardboard. Recently, I hired a carpenter to rebuild the stairs in my home (and he did a beautiful job). He left a huge...
