Oct 12, 2014 I finally finished my project that required long taper cuts … a COAT TREE. The design was based on one that was built out of pine that weʻve had around for years. It was missing some coat hangers and it had no place for my caps. I went to my wood storage area and found enough...

I found a plan available online in the Nov 1992 Popular mechanics issue for this coat tree. The wife has wanted one of these and this plan was her preferred design. The plan calls for using white oak, but I decided to use beech instead. I found out the Beech burns really easily with power towels...

In an attempt to keep our house a little less cluttered when we have company, I made this coat tree for the front door area. I finally got around to it after about a year. In the meantime, my wife had purchased a bamboo (Ikea type) coat tree that has been in service. This is the usual woods...

Living in a northern climate with a never-ending winter, my entryway quickly gets overtaken with an overwhelming amount of coats, snow pants, scarves, tuques, etc. that overflow from my mini closet onto the banister, entryway bench and anywhere else we can find. I decided it was time to add some...

The design for this hall tree started as the Stickley Costumer #188 (last pic). I modified it slightly as I didn't care for the rounded tops on the posts and thru tenons. The hooks came from http://www.signaturehardware.com/ who I highly recommend. These hooks have their black powdercoat...

I gave my sister a year to get her golf clubs out of my garage. The deadline passed - So I dusted them off and took my hacksaw to them (don't worry, they were good-for-nothing). The final product came out nice a sturdy. The four irons made it a little top heavy, so the base is a little bigger...

At my work, I had a little plastic hook that hung over the cube wall for hanging up jackets and things. Well unfortunately, it broke. So, rather than going out and spending another $3 on a coat hook, I decided to make this. It is solid walnut, with oak pegs in the base. The base is 2 pieces...

My Mother has a coat tree that won't hold a coat. If you hang a single coat on it it falls over…….every time. I looked around for a better designed coat tree and came across an Eiffel tower coat tree. There are many interpretations of that design and here is mine. It's made of Alder, finished...

When we decided we didn't want to drill into our fireplace mantel to hang Christmas stockings, we made use of a project I just finished. The Christmas Stocking Tree is made from Rocky Mountain Red Juniper (the tree) and Douglas Fir (the base). When not in use as a Christmas Stocking Tree, it'll...

My brother-in-law wanted a coat tree so I made him one for Christmas. It's made out of a 4×4 planed down and a 1×6. I left it unfinished because he can paint and draw very good. It stands 5' 6" tall.

Mahogany coat tree- This piece was a lot of fun to make. It has a carved pedestal, which resembles tree roots coming out of the ground and a carved top, where the coats are hung. There was a lot of handshaping involved and the sanding was a bit tricky, but it was worth it. See other projects...

Not much of a story here but I thought the project itself is amusing. A client asked if I could make some pint sized coat trees for her grandson. So I did and couldn't help thinking of hobbits. The design is based on the curves I constantly find myself exploring and I really enjoyed...
