This is a murphy bed that was completed in September 2010 It was a rush job. The customer needed it faster then my standard 4-5 weeks. It is a take-off of my Templeton. I didn't arch the top and sub-divided the face by adding a couple extra rails in each section. I kept going back and forth...

I was reminded of this project by that Puzzle Chair project that was entered yesterday. The object of this was to design a chair that would fold flat and was able to be cut out of a single piece of plywood. It's a bit hard to tell with the different colors on the pieces but it is cut from one...

After seeing so many great folding sawhorse designs on this forum I had to have a go at my own version of the ShopDog. Thanks to all the help and inspiration from the forum.

Check out the HOW TO VIDEO here: http://woodworkingtrip.blogspot.com/2010/07/diy-folding-sawhorses-version-20.html I have been wanting some compact sawhorses and I was tired of seeing everyone break their plasitc ones along with breaking a few of theirs myself. So I went looking around the...

This is a Bullock murphy wall bed that was completed in September 2009. This bed is our most popular style Murphy wall bed. It features a solid maple raised panel front section. This is designed to resemble eight doors on a cabinet. The finish is a Dark Walnut stain from Minwax. It has a...

I finally finished my folding outfeed table this weekend. I've been meaning to build one for a long time but I'm now glad I didn't get around to until I got the new saw. It's based on a plan from the February 2009 issue of Woodworkers Journal, with a couple of minor changes. Materials are...

Anyone that spent time in Asia will have eaten on one of these and we needed a table badly. There are several sizes, I made the large version (120cm x 80cm). Since then its become a LEGO project center for our kids. The folding legs make it easy to store upright in our closet when its not being...

I made these 2 folding cedar lounge deck chairs last winter. I had visited the Titanic exhibit at Branson, Missouri and looked at the deck chair that was brought up from the wreck. The design of these chairs has gone virtually unchanged since that time. Indeed, current cruise ships have...

Last year my mom got a nice hammer dulcimer for her birthday, and asked if I could make a folding stand for it. She wanted to be able to play it sitting and standing, so the stand needed a method of adjustment. First, I thought about doing some sort of sliding dovetail and locking pin...

You know the old saying … necessity is the mother of invention (around my shop, Mom gets a pretty good work-out). We all know the safety and convenience of an outfeed table. Add to that, in decent weather, I roll the tools out on the driveway where the light is better and cleanup is a lot...

This is a new style finished in December 2011. It was designed by the customer. I've built a mission style Murphy bed for them in the past in black. She came with me with the design and the layout worked nice with a folding table. Most tables added to Murphy beds look like they were just...

I got hooked on woodworking with this project. I grew up learning basic woodworking skills, but it really became a passion when I needed a really specialized desk I couldn't find anywhere else other than in my head. With the birth of our second child, I lost my office in our 3-bedroom house...

A Friend of mine recently purchased his first house, however the garage was quite a bit smaller than he was used to and needed a workbench that he could collapse and get out of the way when necessary. He doesn't do any woodworking, more of a classic car restorer, so the bench is probably going...

Where's the desk? This is one of my Murphy beds that it not only has a desk, but it is hidden. I call this one the Smithsonian. Most of the time adding a desk the the front looks, just that, you added a desk to the front. It doesn't looked planned. This one the desk folds up into the inner...

This is direct copy of a product that I've seen on the web. My wife has gotten into acrylics lately and she was painting with the canvas flat on the table. I used some old 2 and 3 foot sections of 2×4 (from old shop furniture) for all of the easel parts and some 16" plywood cutoffs for the box...

The is a Euro style Murphy bed that was built using quarter sawn white oak. It was completed in October 2010. One of the big features is the inset bookcases added to. The eight inch bookcase s turned inward and give a little bit of storage space and is cancelled with the bed is closed. Just...

My wife does a lot of crafting and frequently has to use our dining table, kitchen island, folding TV tables, etc. to work on. She asked for a folding table with a top that would be easy to clean, the same height as our existing desks in the office, and the same color scheme. I went back and...

This is my first attempt at Marquetry. Marquetry is pattern of inlaid veneers of wood, brass, ivory, etc., fitted together to form a picture or design. This was completed in March 2011. On this one the customer wanted a couple whales on the face of their murphy bed. I choose Quarter Sawn...

This table was inspired by a folding camp table made by my wife's grandfather. He got the idea about 50 years ago from those 70's era folding scissor leg TV tables. My table sits 16" high by 14" by 10". Perfect height for lawn chairs and narrow enough to not take up too much room around the...
