This is a bed that was completed in February 2010. It is a murphy bed turned sideways with a chalkboard and a wide bookcase. I've build a sideways chalkboard bed before but not with the desk style bookcase on the end.
The problem with the horizontal murphy wall beds is unless you place it in...

I decided to try to come up with a way to make dowels (mainly for drawboring) without buying any more tools (!), and of course using only the few hand tools I have so far. A quick search turned this up:

I decided to try something similar, minus the power...
In the latest (likely futile) attempt to teach my kids to tidy up, I made them this Hedgehog shaped pencil case from some pine offcuts I had in the garage. The idea is that they will want to see him all spiky, so they will clean up once they are done drawing, high hopes I know. :-)
It was fun...
Hello. I am just posting a couple videos I did of my 2'nd and 3'rd bandsaw boxes I EVER made. The video for the resdheart one is in 3 parts and the Zebrawood box is in a single video. A word of caution/warning…. Get your popcorn ready LOL! These are long tutorial/videos. I kinda realize...
Garden Bench and Table Construction #2
I forgot to mention on the first part of this blog that I don't have any pictures of construction on the bench. This was due partly to my camera crapping out on me and I really didn't know this thing would turn out as good as it did. After completing the...

New shave horse
I've been wanting to build a shave horse for a while now and with the purchase of a draw knife, a shave horse is now needed. I used an old oak pallet and a single tree. Go check it out.
Hello ladies and gents!
Can you please help me identify which kind of vaneer this furniture is? Is it Mahogany Crotch?
It is circa 1950's in Australia and I am looking to sell them. Would they be worth much?
All comments are very much appreciated!
Thanks for your time!
What would you do in the following situation:
You are hired by someone to build something. You tell them it will be $x up front, with a draw of $x, with the balance due upon completion. You have a contract signed by the customer agreeing to this, with a clause that says something along the...
So I do not post all that often, but I have come to view this community as the EXPERTS on all things woodworking…
So with that in mind, does anyone know where I can locate some keyhole hangers like these?
I am building some draws and was wondering how stable Aromatic Cedar would be for the sides. I thought the cedar might be a nice touch, but as they are my first draws, am concerned about stability. Would I be better off with baltic birch?? I am also thinking of getting the new mini kreg kit...
