  2. Toddler Bed

    We just had our second girl on 11/2/14 and in preparation for her arrival I wanted to make a bed for my soon to be 3 year old daughter. I really wanted to make it out of maple as it would match the rest of the "furniture" in the room (Ikea stuff) and I didn't want a lot of grain to show (like...
  3. Towel Cabinet

    Well, after about a year and a half battling this project, a towel cabinet for my neighbor, I was finally able to finish it a couple of weeks ago. I agreed to do this project for my neighbor just about the time I started woodworking which was a bit over 2 years ago. The problem was that it...
  4. A Bed for Michael

    After a couple years of sleeping on his mattress on the floor, my son finally needed a bed. I wanted to make a manly/rustic looking twin bed. I decided on two tone: walnut and knotty cherry. This is my first bed. Fairly straight forward design and construction, really. I designed it on Sketchup...
  5. Kitchen Cabinets (my 1st kitchen)

    Not wanting to pay the price of substandard cabinetry at the box stores and wanting a custom look I took on the challenge of remodeling the kitchen. I did farm out the granite counter and flooring because I did not have the knowledge to tackle those tasks (nor the tools for the granite). I...

  7. Finishing
    This is a general fishing expedition for thoughts on finishing cherry. I've read several of the posts here and elsewhere but thought I'd throw some ideas out there. In the past, I've generally just done three coats of flat Arm-R-Seal and left it at that. For a full set of quarter sawn cherry...
  8. Finishing
    After spending entirely too much time on building cabinets for my son…. I applied the last coat of Enduro Var about a month prior to delivering them to my son's house. For some unknown reason they put some pizza boxes on the top of it. I'm not sure for how long but apparently it was too long...

    Tool tote - chisel rack and finishing Finishing up took quite a while. I made a chisel rack from a length of thin poplar. And I made spacers from the same thin poplar. But I doubled my work since the spacer wood was not thick enough to accommodate larger tools. I basically cut the wood twice...
  10. Finishing
    Hey everyone, I'm in the planning stages for shop cabinetry/rolling cabinets/overall shop furniture and am thinking through the finishing process. Rockler is having a 25% off on finishes sale on March 16 and I've considered using the GF EV after some reading on the topic but have a few...
