  1. Doll Picnic Table

    I made this to order for a friend of the family who was anticipating her 6th birthday party. She wanted a picnic table and a garden where she could plant flowers. The platform is a kind of torsion box with recessed areas on the side and Cherry planter boxes in each corner. Floral foam was...
  2. American Girl Beds

    After making several sets of American Girl doll bunk beds (see the pink and white model above), I realized that I needed to do something to take some of the labor intensity out of the projects. By using my Kreg pocket hole jig and using pre-assembled cup railing from Lowes, I was able to come...
  3. American Girl Closet

    American Girl Closet for my niece. It matches the bed i made her. All the parts were painted before assembly as it was hard enough with all the small pieces. To do it over, i would have used maple instead of pine. Pine was just a little too soft and dinged easily.
  4. Doll sized Loft Bed

    Had a couple of scraps and nothing to do, so I whipped up a doll bed (size determined by the length of my scraps and a certain stuffed animal I had in mind). Exceedingly simple but it turned out nice. Threw in the poplar dowels cause I was out of pine and I think they, along with the rounded...
  5. Doll bed for Granddaughters friend

    My granddaughters friend needed a special gift that could be painted. The friends mother asked if I could put together a doll bed for Ellie that would withstand her younger brother climbing on it. This is what I can up with, straight grain yellow pine should withstand most any big brother...
  6. Table and chairs for 18" dolls

    I didn't take many pictures of this build. It was pretty quick and simple. I used glue and my air brad nailer to assemble. These are sized for the American Girl dolls or any 18" doll. This set is going to a special little girl that loaned me her AG doll for some pics. But I didn't get to snap...
  7. Rustic doll furniture

    My wife showed me a kinds catalog with a set of "woodland fairy furniture" for $80. I snorted, muttered "I could make that", rolled over and went to sleep. A few days later my wife asked me if I could make a dozen little chairs - like the ones in the catalog - for a art project at my daughter's...
  8. Doll beds for my girls

    For Christmas this year, I have made 4 doll beds. First I made one walnut and one maple for my daughter and step-daughter that live with me, and then continued to make two more from walnut for my two oldest girls that live in Utah, these are those two beds. They are about 22 by 9 inches and...
  9. Christmas presents 2009

    I thought this would be a lot easier. Borrow a book with American Girl furniture plans from the library, draw the parts in Sketchup, cut things on the CNC, and everything should fit fine. Well, it didn't quite work out that way, but I did get it done. First, I thought I would make bunk beds...
  10. Chest for American Girl doll

    Quick project made from Poplar for my daughter's birthday. As much as I could, I tried to build it as a full size piece would be built. It is about 1/3 scale. The knobs are shaker pegs into which I drilled holes and glued in charms with initials for my daughter and her doll. I cut them off...
  11. Mission-style doll bed

    This is a Mission-style doll bed that I made for my niece for Christmas this year. Her American Girl doll is Josephina, a girl living in New Mexico during the 1800s. The bed is made from quartersawn white oak using mortise and integral tenon construction, in an attempt to be period faithful...
  12. Italian Bird Condo as per Client request

    I really debated on posting this one. Its really plain, but Im sure the client will like seeing it on here. A fellar seen some of my work on Facebook and ordered this for his mother. I thought he would want something really fancy, but insisted on this. Its made of oak with hickory floor and...
  13. American Girl Table & Chairs

    As I may have mentioned earlier, my grand daughters 18" doll population grew significantly this last Christmas and I was tasked with building some furniture for them. I was texted several images of furniture from her on-line catalogues. How does one say no? For the first piece, I selected a...
  14. American Doll Dresser

    Just finished up the last of the doll furniture requests (for a while anyway). I put together a three drawer dresser for the American Girl wardrobe that seems to be growing as fast as my grand daughter. Anyway, the chest stands 9" tall, by 12" wide, and 8 1/2" deep. The carcass is made of...
  15. Doll Cradles

    Doll cradles I made for my two girls for Christmas. They are made of pine and finished with stain and poly.
  16. Wood & Lumber
    I found this on a pallet this morning and have no idea what species it is. If it weren't for the strange leopard/peacock spots all over it, I would say pine of some sort. Is this simply sapwood from a larger pine? Either way, I think this will make a pretty cool box lid! :-) Thanks...
  17. Blogs
    Its no Castle... but I do believe my daughter will love it when she sees it for the first time tomorrow morning. I have been spending a lot of time recently in our basement recently. My wife and I decided instead of going and spending a ton of money on Christmas gifts we would finish our...
  18. Blogs
    Before it's to Late! So, since I have been watching Steve Ramsey, Matthias Wandel, and various other YouTube woodworkers for the last few years while tinkering about with what I would call mini-projects, I figured I'd try out the whole public showing of a project from beginning to end. Today...
  19. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Another surprise this was… I had no idea it was anywhere close to 43 straight games! This was very unusual in that I had just gotten more cards to play… ... there was NOT a Play to be had anywhere!! Nada… End of game… It's rough when that happens… not ONE play available… Bummer… Yes, I...
  20. Woodcarving
    My wife is working on a small bronze figurine and I need to build a tiny chair for it. I'm planning to model it after a vintage oak swivel office chair. I'm guessing the total height will be about 6". I'd like it to have a nice fine finish but don't want to have to struggle with any really...
