The story will need an update, but here is my first ever "real" project. Before this I'd made some plywood cabinet-type construction, some miscellaneous pine panel items, my workbench, and precisely one spatula… The top is where most of the effort & $$$'s went. Its primarily a 4/4 hickory...

Made some solid timber framing sawhorses on the weekend. Made of 5" Cypress, mortise and tenon joints, draw-bored with 3/4" oak pegs. A little overkill in terms of bulk and strength but I had that cypress left over from another project. Going to start a small timber framing project soon so...

I was getting sick of my black plastic sawhorses and had a pile of scrap wood laying around. Beats throwing the cut off pieces from previous projects into the fire pit. It is a standard krenov style sawhorse, but I added a few curves to lighten up the shape a bit. Everyone I have shown these to...

This is a patio screen door I just completed construction on. I used cypress from the same load I have used to make a morris chair and and end table. This thing is 1 1/8" thick and solid as a rock, with the drawbore joinery. I got the idea for this from RunnerDuck.com. This is the first time I...

My first real woodworking project. I needed a pair of sawhorses that I can use around the shop, but I wanted to build something that would give me some practice in joinery and hand tool skills. I saw NikBrown's post here ... and decided to give it a shot. I made tons of mistakes on the first...

First post on the site. Needed 2 new beds to replace old divan beds so this is the first of them. Wedged mortise and tenon bed frame with tapered legs made from unknown hardwood (originally 2 mantel boards that were stored in my late father in laws garage for around 30 years). Headboard and...

Making some Christmas gifts and nothing better than a Paul Sellers inspired mortise and tenon cutting board made of yellowwood, dibetou, and lyptus. No machine touched this project. All dimensioning and joinery was done by hand. Finished with generals salad bowl finish. Also, no glue is holding...

Drawbored Breadboard end cutting board made of Dibetou wood with through haunched mortised and tenon joinery ala Paul Sellers. It is finished with just 2 coats of mineral oil. This is the 2nd cutting board like this I've made this month for Christmas gifts. I like this one far better than my...

My wife told me that the bench at her shop was old & "creeking," and she wanted to buy a new one. Fortunately for her (and me) I had some legs sitting around from another project that I started, so I decided to just go ahead and build one before she spent any $$$ on another cheap bench from...

This is a project I finished recently. My wife teaches high-school choir and wanted a table to organize papers, music, etc. on. She provided me with the dimensions, and asked that it be made as low-cost as possible (diapers and day care are expensive). The lower shelf is set back so that she...

I have a standing offer that everyone in my family gets to choose (at least) one thing for me to make them. I explain this offer with enough seriousness that they don't choose without thinking. My intention is to make them something that will last for the rest of their lives. Maybe I succeed...

I built this coffee table for my brother a couple months ago, and left it for them to finish. They just sent me pictures of the finished product, and I'm pretty pleased with it! Red oak with a minwax stain and polycrylic. I am still mostly working with hand tools, so the top was jointed by...

Finally complete is this Hickory Dining Trestle Table. It is counter height, 6' long and 40" across. This past year we moved into a new home that had a dining room and an eat in kitchen. After much planning, and "encouragement" from the wife I started and finished this table. The entire piece...
