My son is really into toy farm animals and had been wanting a barn to keep them in. My wife & I were hunting around ebay when I saw a picture of a barn similar to this one and thought "I can do that!" :-) Barn is made from 1/2" birch plywood with maple trim. Finished with Varathane stain on...

Scale model IH Tractor Model M. Here is a link to a youtube video where you can get a little more info and detail.

This is a 1:16 scratch model of a bobsled like the one my grandpa had here at the farm. It was fun to make.

When my wife and I got married two years ago, we lived in a third floor apartment. She had always wanted chickens but the bath tub was the only place to put them at our current residence so, we decided to wait… We bought a house in late December last year and as soon as she could she ordered 5...

I'm brand new to chickens and only a few months into carpentry. This post is a best of both worlds. Made this chicken brooder table this morning in about 2 hours, from all scrap materials. It is a 2×4 frame with particle board top. Legs are 1×2, to save weight because it didn't need a lot of...

I made this after I got my scrollsaw. The animals were cut from a pattern and the barn was thrown together sort of as an afterthought. The back side of the barn is missing the wall and bottom roof slat so it can be played with. The animals quickly became "lost" in the kids blcok bin, but that...

... here it is … I am pleased to share with you "my" farm, an old project ! Inspired by the one designed by Fred & Julie Byrne, Issue 38-Spring 2010 - Scrollsaw Woodworking & Craft Magazine I started to scrollsaw the animals and the farmers. Mr and Mrs Farmer are compounded cut, first time I...

My son-in-law's father had a bunch of walnut his grandfather had milled up many years ago. It had been sitting in his garage for years so he asked if I could make a simple farm desk, so I came up with this.

It has been awhile since my last project. Needless to say I am getting wood worker fever - if there is such a thing? So, to get back in the mix I decided it was time to tackle a new project. This year we decided that we are going to raise chickens for eggs and poultry. So, I decided to build...

This box is actually the reason I'm on Lumberjocks. My wife wanted a bandsaw box for her grandmother that looked like a barn. Simple enough but I like to look for inspiration from others online for any little details my creativity (or lack thereof) might miss. Oddly enough, when I searched for a...

This is a fun project I did for a customer that wanted to do a simple outdoor cabinet for their flat screen tv. The cabinet is made of MDF. I laminated 1/2" pieces together to give it the paneled look and to increase the strength. The hinges are Blum 170° Full Overlay euro hinges and I used 3...

My wife asked me to make her a new dining room table. Our current dining room table is 12 years old and is a 34 inch high tabletop. The problem there is when you spend a lot of time at it, it gets uncomfortable. I told her I'd do it, and she picked out one of Ana White's plans. I modified it...

Here are some more of the Christmas list this year. So many cars, I think I'm in love with these little cars :) The first is another car hauler set that we gave to our Grandparents to keep at the house for the their Great-grandchildren to play with when the visit. They're so supportive of my...

I bought an old, pine, "well used" table top at an estate sale for $5 and then found a cheap table on craigslist which ended up being $40. I removed the top from that table and put the pine top on it. I distressed the white paint on the legs and stained the top with a dark stain. Then I clear...

A large oak tree limb fell on our farm during a storm 4 years ago. At the time I used my Alaskan attachment to mill it into boards and this past year I finally made a small kitchen table from it as a Christmas gift for my wife. My first table top with breadboard ends, my first turned table...

I converted an old greenhouse structure into an indoor run for chickens to provide protection from wind, rain, and snow while they scratched around. It connects to an outdoor run that loops around my veggie garden to help keep weeds from encroaching there. Inside the covered run I designed and...

Ford "C" Cab Farm Truck for local community club Easter fund raiser… YES, Easter is only a couple of weeks away…. With the help of Doug, aka Hunter, I got the shape of the early 1920's C Cab for this truck. The rest of the truck was made up as I went; "yay" scratch built, along with a few...

Easter Fund raiser for the local Boys&Girls Club. A C-Cab Ford of course. As in years past I've made a Farm Truck for the local community club. The back has been filled with chocolate Easter Eggs and if you can guess the correct number, both the Farm Truck & the Easter Eggs are yours. I...

I made these silly little trophies for a curling get together my wife and I had with some friends. We brought a few of our couple friends out to try curling. Those of you in or near Canada probably know what curling is. If not, pay attention to the upcoming Winter Olympics. We had a brief...
