  1. Entertainment Center

    This is a entertainment center I actually built for myself. It is made from walnut, measures 60" x 24" x 27". The finish I used way polyurethane. I love custom built items that suit my needs. I did make a mistake though, I didn't have good enough ventilation and it cooked my surround sound...
  2. Buffet turned into Entertainment Center

    This was a design steal from Nick Eisner. He made a buffet similar to this design. I just tweaked it a bit. I made this from Walnut ply and Peruvian Walnut slabs. I left the sap wood because, who doesn't like a little contrast here and there to show the woods character. Adjustable Shelving...
  3. Entertainment Center

    I built this entertainment center in two parts because it's so big. 7 feet tall by 7 feet wide by 27 inches deep. Made of white pine with a pickled effect finish. It features bi-fold doors that fold away to the sides. It has two big drawers for DVD's and VHS tapes and two glassed display areas...
  4. Entertainment stand for my uncle.

    A while back, I was asked to build a simple entertainment stand for my dear old uncle (he's 75). He had seen one in Holland that he liked when he was there, and wanted something similar. He had a rough sketch, and some measurements, and left the rest up to me. I made this for him out of solid...
  5. Custom Entertainment Center

    For several years, we had a pretty nice entertainment armoire, but it was designed for a 4:3 CRT television and wouldn't accommodate more than a 37" flat panel. We also needed more storage for kids' games, movies, CDs, etc., so I decided to build a built-in entertainment center. I was going to...
  6. Oak Entertainment Center

    I built this Oak Entertainment Center for a customer. It is made from solid Oak and Oak plywood. Each tower has multimedia storage, the left tower has storage for DVDs and VHS tapes, the right tower has storage for CDs and more VHS tapes. The spanner shelves are great for holding knick-knacks...
  7. Entertainment Center - 1st commissioned piece delivered

    I finally landed a commission to build a custom TV entertainment center. This is the first piece I have ever built for sale! Delivered today and the customer was very satisfied. Should have priced it higher I think but I am looking for referrals. Anyways, the project is mostly shop grade...
  8. Mission TV Console

    Here is my rendition of a mission style TV console. It features three spindles, which divide the top shelf into two sections for electronic components. Corbels are let into grooves in the solid legs. Through mortise and tenons and dovetail drawers complete the look. Hardware is from Chown...
  9. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Hello, my name is M _ and I'm a wood-aholic. I have given up buying clothes, shoes, food and other necessities of life so that I can buy more wood. My wood addiction comes from the need to have the latest and greatest version of what Mother Nature has created in the form of a tree or other...

    Just wanted to wish all my fellow Canadians a very Happy Thanksgiving. May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey be plump May your potatoes & gravy Have nary a lump May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize And may your Thanksgiving Dinner Stay off of your thighs.
  11. Focus on the Workspace
    I have started to hang some OSB on the lower portion of the shop wall and I know this has been discussed in length about painting/staining OSB but i was wondering if anyone has tried any of the DeckOver type paints on OSB. If so were the results better than paint and primer? I have sample...

    I am building a breakfast table from reclaimed long leaf pine and my customer wants to be able to slide the table top over the window seat by 12". This will provide more walkway room by the table. The top is 4×5' with the 5' width to match the octagonal shape of the existing window seat. I am...

    I have an old (1940s) Sears (Belsaw) 12" planer. It works and I've been using it regularly, but there are a few areas that could use some improvement. I'm looking for some advice for restoring/modifying to make it work a little better. Here's a list of the items I want to address. 1. Change...

    Merry Christmas to all!! It's more the just a day of the year. It should live in all our hearts all year long. My mother told us about some of their neighbor's kids going to school bare foot in the snow in Iowa when she was growing up in the Depression. My paternal Grandfather would put a...
  15. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Right now I am in week two of constant wind/rain storms with mornings going as low as 38 degrees. My shop is not heated or insulated so I haven't been in it unless absolutely necessary. This brings up an interesting discussion idea. For those like me that have unheated shops or poorly heated...
  16. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Hi all, this is my first time posting here, and this forum seemed like the right spot. I tried to get some help at DoItYourself but didn't get a lot of suggestions. I have an older solid wood (maple?) curio style entertainment center that was designed to old a CRT tv. Our flatscreen is on a...

    I want to cut some slabs, maybe not right terminology, from 3-4" diameter branchs. The slabs would be roughly 10" long, 3-4" tall and roughly 5/8" thick and cut on the bias or diagonally across the branch. I would like to do it on the bandsaw and safely but not sure how to support the work. I...

    Does any know where I can buy some hook bolts 12"/x1/4" threaded at the base? I am rebuilding a bench swing that uses four of these hook bolts to suspend the bench from chains. The original bolts are too rusted to reuse. JoeR

    What are your thoughts on turning a dry wall putty knife into a card scraper? I'm sure it won't be awesome quality or what not but think it would work to get by for now?

    I'm building a sizable toy chest for someone, and wanted to use cherry plywood for panels (1/2"), but after checking out prices, would like to consider another option. It seems that I read somewhere that birch plywood is very similar in grain to cherry, and is often used as a substitute? I could...
