  1. Coat and Hat Racks

    These are four coat and hat racks I made for a craft show, much earlier on in my woodworking endeavor, none sold so I found uses for them around the house. The one with a variety of different knobs serves as my daughters headband/hair band, bracelet, and necklace storage area. They are made...
  2. Router Table (a lot like Norms.....)

    I literally just finished building this, and I am stoked! I'll try not to point out all my mistakes….. This project has been a few months in the building, I guess like everybody else there just doesn't seem to be enough time. The great thing about my router table is that most of the material...
  3. DIY Drawer Pulls

    I've made my own drawer pulls for a few projects now. Sometimes it is the only way to get the look you want in a particular piece, and sometimes you want to save a few bucks on pricey hardware. This comes in handy to give you an outlet for all your shop scraps and offers another option other...
  4. Podium On Wheels

    Here is another project that I recently completed for the golf course I work at (and is currently my best client for my woodworking business). Like the a few of the other things I've built for them, it's made from teak and cypress. Since we are in South Florida and have many cypress trees on the...
  5. Bombe Box

    This is a box I made for my sister a couple of years ago. Red oak and walnut. I started the curve on the side boards with the table saw, then finished up by handplane. Finish is waterbased poly. I can't for the life of me remember whether I put BLO on first. Thanks for having a look, Kerry
  6. Custom Made Drawer Handles

    Cabinet door and drawer handles made out of Mesquite and Oak dowels.
  7. Heavy with fruit -- 2x4 contest entry

    Here it is, almost 28 hours before the deadline, my entry for the 2×4 contest. This bandsaw box is made entirely form a 2×4 construction grade pine I purchased from HD (2.57$). I hope this project will convince you that pine, despite being a construction material, can legitimately be used to...
  8. DRAWER PULL JIG

    This is a jig I made to put a groove in drawer pulls. I needed 30 drawer pulls and decided to make them. I started out making simple dowel cut off pulls then decided they would work better with a notch in them to make the pulls easier to grip. The jig is pretty straight forward. I glued...
  9. Drill Press Cart w/ 44 drawers!

    So I had two problems in my small garage workshop. I had a drill press cart that was rapidly falling apart, and I had (have) a desperate need to organize all of my miscellaneous hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) I had some leftover walnut plywood, and some walnut lumber that had been edge...
  10. Custom Wooden Cabinet Pulls

    Hey, guys! Wanted to show you these walnut cabinet pulls that I just finished. These were made from a kit available from Rockler and I turned the walnut inner portion on my lathe. It's very similar to turning a pen, so if you've done that then this should be a breeze. The cool part is you...
  11. Lacy's Dresser

    Our first granddaughter was born last year and we needed a dresser for the nursery we made in our house. I decided that would be perfect for my first "fine" furniture piece. My hope is that it will be an heirloom piece that she will have and pass down long after I'm gone. The design is my...
  12. Basic Jewelry Box

    Basic jewelry box a friend wanted made. Plywood case, Purpleheart trim, Padauck drawer faces. The knobs were too big I thought but that was what was requested.
  13. Hand Tools
    I am in tool handle making mode these days. I remembered I had found early last summer this scorp that was in need of a handle. So I cleaned off the rust and will make a handle for it this week end. How do I sharpen or fettle it? My guess is that you sharpen it like a knife, because there is...
  14. Blogs
    Buffet and Hutch My wife says I can't do anything else before I start on her Kitchen. Well except for her hall table and ??. Of course there is also the Summer Contest. This is going to be a multiple phase project. I need to do something with the floor. We are on a cement slab floor and it is...

    The Dresser Design to Conception Are you interested in doing inlay, veneer, designing and building a project on your own? Here's an example of a job I designed and built for a client last year. I already had a blog (perfect45degree.blogspot.com/) before discovering LJ. My guess is that most...

    Progress on First Bandsaw Box Well, many of you know I don't have alot of time….but I've been squeaking in some here and there to make my first bandsaw box….a few pictures if you please, Mr. Computer… I glues together a bunch of old drawer mistakes and pieces of processed American Elm to make...
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I am finishing dresser for my daughter and am looking for white knobs for the drawer pulls. I would ideally use porcelain knobs but my budget is running short. does anyone know where I can find inexpensive hardware, specifically white plastic or porcelain drawer knobs?
  18. Finishing
    Conventional wisdom has it that new wood should be "sealed" with shellac to start the finishing process. That's pure baloney promoted by Zinsser to sell their products. Any kind of resin finish will "seal" itself. For an expose of the shellac hoax, check out Bob Flexner's article in the...
  19. Woodcarving
    I am refinishing an old walnut dresser that is missing a few drawer pulls. What would be the best way to duplicate them besides hand carving them? Could one make them with a pantograph? Has anybody out there made anything like this? If you have what would you charge to make them? Thanks
