I saw an ad for these in the back of American Bungalow magazine (worth getting just for the ads). My girlfriend had to go to a business meeting, so I said I'd make a set before she got home. She looked at me with those "another project?" eyes. Sure enough, when she got home, they were ready...

These were made from red oak from the plans in Popular Mechanics - Mission Furniture - How to Make It. We found the book in the Gamble House bookstore. Originally, I was only going to make one, but I made a mental mistake, thinking that tables need four legs. When I realized that two lapped...

My parents have been looking for a new table for their family room for months, AND I had been looking for a new project to do! So I thought I'd surprise them with one of these Roycroft Bookshelfs. I found plans in sketchup on the internets and began about 2 weeks ago. I really do love...

Well, I've been cleaning up the shop and finally finished this today. Not much cost into this one. I've had the vise for 15+ years so the cost of it doesn't count. I might have $30.00 into this. If you look at the base you'll see odd mortises and holes in random places. That's because the 1 1/8"...

I needed a couple of end tables to go with an antique drop front desk that houses my computer but doesn't provide room for the speakers. Thanks to Elwood89 for the inspiration of hidden (apron front) drawers. First attempt at shop made dovetail guides (learned some things about fitting like if...

With some newly rediscovered QSWO and walnut during my wood storage revamp. I decided I wanted to test some finishes on fumed wood. Tissue boxes were the answer, limited amount of wood required, quick to build, and everyone says they look better that the plain cardboard box normally on display...

Servus! this is a cabinet made with pine wood!

While not my best work, the most worthy of a post! One of them projects that fought me to the end but… Almost a year and three months later it's finally complete. I guess plans would have helped but what fun would that have been? Anyways, the cabinet was constructed from quarter sawn white oak...

I knocked together a quick potato bin this week for our bumper-crop of potatoes from the garden. Nothing too special. I made it out of ash and a small amount of cherry. I incorporated slats in the back of the bin, and the drawer, for ventilation. All the joinery was dados and Festool dominos...

A family lost everything they owned in a house fire. I decided to build a cottage bed for their little girl and on contacting them, they asked if it could be a castle instead to hold a twin size mattress, since she loved to play princess. We came up with this creation. The frame is pine...

So this is a finishing project, but it's made of wood so I'm posting it. I wanted to try my hand at ammonia fuming white oak. I picked up the 28% ammonia at a local retail industrial cleaning supply store. My container is just a clear storage tote I picked up at Lowes. For a better seal, I...

This is a chair I made for my two year old son. The wood is pine and some 1/2 inch plywood they were throwing away at work. Its not fancy just screwed and glued with a couple of coat brown spray paint. I hate spray paint but I needed it done fast and its 28 degrees in my shop right now so stain...
