I felt somewhat guilty of what happened to my neighbor's coffee table. He called me asking if I knew how to remove white rings on a table finish. I said I knew that white rings were easier to remove than black rings, but told him "let me look up some solutions and I will call or text you...

I carved some of these for my niece and nephew for Christmas. But after making them, I got roped into making sets for both of my own kids, and other nephews who were all envious. The wood is basswood for all except for one of the white ones which was balsa. The finish is mostly dyes and...

There's a lot twists and turns on the way to making this Miter Station. I wrote about making it here. Essentially I was tired of crosscutting long pieces on my table saw and I wanted to practice making cabinets. The idea was to see if I could build something cheaper, faster and better made than...

Flaming Platter 9 5/8" Dia. x 1" H This Flaming Platter was turned from a 3-way Sweet Gum crotch. I have a bad habit of not taking pictures in progress. I get too engrossed in the beauty of the wood and in my excitement I keep forgetting to snap! I am making a sign to post on the wall...

I made a Chinese Checker Board that can hang on the wall while storing marbles in the board. It's made of Maple and Redheart. Check out the YouTube video if you want to see how I did it… I also provided a drill template for anyone that wants to make one themselves...
