Oak farm table built to serve as a desk. Walnut breadboard ends attached with square peg. 3 drawers with book matched fronts dove tailed construction. I will post new picture with hardware on it and drawers installed when the hardware finally gets here.

This is one of a couple wooden DT planes from last winter that allows you to adjust sliding dovetails made with a standard 14 degree DT router bit. Always amazed how sliding DT joints can go from a no-go interference fit to a hopelessly sloppy fit by simply nudging the router fence a 'tad'. I...

I love building boxes, especially boxes with a purpose. This is my version of the "packing box" that I read about in The Joiner and Cabinetmaker. Now I didn't follow the same process as described in the book to build it. I deviated a lot: I glued the panels together, used screws in the cross...

This project started out as a big beautiful slab of curly cherry that I acquired. It was thirteen inches wide and six foot long and just hair over 4/4 thick. Clear as a bell and the darkest, richest cherry I've ever seen. I needed a table to go by a papasan chair so I decided to use the board...

The best protection form people stealing you stuff is for the thief not to know it is there in the first place. This bed did just that. Keep in mind, I don't tell city/state of this customer. It is the customer's design. The headboard lid is removable and exposes a couple trays for hand...

These are the first marking gauges i made a while back. the one on the left i believe is Mahagony that was removed from an old dresser it uses a can opener blade to make the cuts and a t-nut with an epoxied piece of all thread placed in a cheap wooden pull. the second is made from Tzalam...

Our little big dog Dexter - Part Great Dane, part Boxer, needed a place to sleep as his old floor mattress was just not cutting it. We had to replace the sofa in the living room so I decided to keep the cushions for Dex. Laid them on the floor floor, when he jumped on them to lay down, they...

This was for my sister Katy for her birthday and is my first box with my new Veritas 14 tpi dovetail saw. I was able to cut much smaller and tighter dovetails than on my other boxes. I was also using my newly made 1:7 dovetail marker. So far, I've done all my dovetails by eye but I needed...

The one is walnut with a carved purple heart pull. Finish is BLO, Sprayed Lacquer and Wax. The bottom is purple velvet. The pull was the first time I've tried carving and it actually turned out ok. Dovetails are hand cut. The top is rabbeted to fit into the box. 6×3 5/8×2 7/8

This one was built for my brother Greg for his birthday. I lined it with black velvet. I like the light pins on dark tails but I wish the sides were walnut too. I think I see some mitered corners with dovetail keys in my future. The top is a book matched glue up but you can't really tell...

This is my second attempt at a dovetailed box. Cherry and maple again. I really like this combo. This one has a hinged lid. I think I liked the sliding lid better. I have to do something to jazz up the next one. Maybe a cherry handle… The last two pics are unfinished. The first is while...

As for the reel storage, I decided to make with a sort of "Nature " flagrance . You may notice that there are several flaws of the design and execution. During the process, I made some very severe mistakes. To cover up these, I changed the original design and finally came up with this. Curly...

This box is another in my series of presentation wine boxes. The top acts as a latch just like the wooden wine bottle. It is made of cherry and maple with the top being cedar. There are numerous pieces of cedar that make up that top. Upon completion I had second thoughts about using the cedar on...

This is my first attempt a making a hand saw. I got the plate, back, and fasteners from fellow LJ - ErikF. The handle template is from Blackburn Tools. The back and fasteners are made of copper and the plate is filed for rip at 16 tpi. The plate also has a slight cant, being the tow is slightly...

This started out to be a nice box but when I resawed the 3/4 board there was a big nasty pitch pocket right in the middle. There was no sign of it on the outside but there was no way I was leaving that showing even on the inside of a nice box. Too bad too since it was such a pretty book match...

This box started life as practice for half blind dovetails for a drawer in a different project. It was my first time doing half blinds but all four sets turned out great so I went on to the actual drawer. The practice box sat around my shop until the day before our family Christmas get together...

Now, this box here was an adventure in finishing. I started it for my sister's Birthday back in March and finished it with a varnish blend. When I finished the poly, it had some runs and sags in it and when I started to sand it back I couldn't get the chamfers sanded without sanding through...

In Japan, when you win a prize for a contest, you usually get a certificate (document), and one of my niece just got one for a drawing contest. I promised her to make a frame for that, and here it is. It's zelkova, and used a router bit called, "Hyo-tan" in Japanese (maybe " Radius Roman Ogee...

This is an oak bed that was designed by a customer. They took a standard flat panel headboard look and stretched it out to 8" deep. They wanted the middle grid to become a small bookshelf with LED lights. They wanted to leave the grid above the shelves flat. I came up with the idea to use...

This is a benchtop router holder that I came up with. It looks a little funky and chopped up but that's because I designed it to go with my dovetailing jig. See it here… http://lumberjocks.com/projects/43204 It works great as a stand alone unit though.
