Svord is a New Zealand knife maker and their new Peasant Knife is a simple and beautiful thing but comes with a plastic handle in its cheapest form. I wanted the wood version but didn't want to pay extra for someone else to have the fun to make the handle ( actually they cheat and their handles...

About 3+ years ago, I decided to build a bookcase for my daughter's 10th birthday. At that time, I didn't have a planer and didn't know any better, so after making a little sketch plan, I went to the store (either HD or Lowes) and bought some poplar. As I recall, I paid about $220 for it...

Inspired by the way Serge did clamps, and Steve Ramsey did inserts, here's my drill press table. Hardboard laminated onto MDF, 20"x12". Forstner bits and jigsaw to make the slots, as I was too lazy to remove my router from the router table. My hardboard inserts aren't beveled like Steve's...

I finally got around to making my drill press table. In the first pic you can see my old "table" I threw together for a project and kept using for probably about 5 years! A neighbor had given me a piece of formed formica countertop and I wanted to use that for a table. I cut off all the formed...

Center jig for drill press recycled drill chuck. Here a small recycle project, giving new life to an old drill chuck, from a cordless drill I had trashed some time back. The jig: When drilling a hole in the centre of a dowel or other round objects, I always struggle to hit dead centre, so this...

I made this tray as a gift for some friends who are marrying later this summer. They already have more than enough toasters and knives, so I hope that they enjoy this. It is made of cherry. The miter keys are a laminate of black walnut and padouk. I rounded the edges and corners more than on...

This is a pendant I made for my wife. She will be participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure in San Diego in a little over a week. She just reached her personal fundraising goal to help find a cure for breast cancer. I was going to give this to her right before she left next week...

Just a basic cutting board I made for my sister. Made from walnut and maple. Thanks for looking.

I have seen a number of jocks post their box in a box creations so I finally thought I should try to make one of my own. It worked for the most part. I used a piece of scrap maple, a bad idea as it burned alot, no matter how slow I went into it. Funny thing though, it was only on three of the...

These are some 2.3" cubes from a piece of sapele. They are made by drilling using forstner bits of two sizes into each of the six sides. You are supposed to set up a depth stop on the drill press, but i did them by eye. A good plan would be to set up a quick jig for precise drilling.

I took this design from a few source's on YouTube & Shop notes Magazine. I used 1" ply wood wrapped in melamine to start. Adding the Kregtool t tracks for attaching the fence as well as clamping & jigs. I also routed out a circle to insert a replaceable backing plate. This is my first shop jig...

This drill press table is made up of 2 layers of 3/4" MDF laminated with white Formica. I used the blue anodized t-track, hold downs and hardware from Rockler. Finished off the edges with some leftover scraps of Lyptus. I should have made one of these years ago!!!!
