Particleboard with 1/8" mdf dividers,I had the big pieces cut to size at the hardware store and the dados for the dividers and construction were cut with a router running against a rafter square.There were over 150 dados just for the dividers, so I cut two spacers that gave me the distance...

I guess I will stop at eight teapots for the shelf is full. The handle and spout is BB plywood and the body is Aspen which is way too soft to work with. I used a number of colors. I told someone this is an exact replica of a 2000 year old teapot. One I have never seen before so no telling if...

I wanted to build a cabinet with drawers so I found this project on Pinterest and thought I would try it. It used Dados and Rabbits which was new to me. I followed the plans and took my time. I'm very pleased with the outcome. All drawers work and it is just what I needed.

Video Game Station Video I was tired of seeing my kids room a mess with the controllers everywhere and sometimes lost. They also had a stack of games that would get knocked over at least once a week. I decided to make a station that would house all their controllers and what games they have...
