The latest issue of Popular Woodworking has Marc Spagnuolo's article on reproducing John Hall's mirror frame. John and his brother were the artisans who produced G&G's designs but this frame is John Hall's own design. I wanted to frame two tiles that we bought while attending the Craftsmans...

I made these frames for some photos we bought a while back. I have nothing against miters but I really don't like the flimsy feel and look. So I researched some approaches without miters and I came across some Greene and Greene frames. I took those as my inspiration but I wanted a simpler...

We are slowly converting the furniture in our summer home to G&G Gamble house furniture. Made this mahogany bedroom door last fall to replace a flat, painted door and jam. Just got around to making the stained glass for it. The design is a variation of Green and Green's cloud lift. I know...

I promised my wonderful wife, Helen, that I would build her a reading table to place alongside our rocking chair in our upstairs bedroom. She fantasizes about sitting alone, gently rocking, and quietly reading while having a comfortable place to set her drink and reading lamp. Nevermind that...

Here is a little side table I made as a companion piece to my recently finished garden bench. It's made from reclaimed Oregon (Douglas Fir) and reclaimed Jarrah. Breadboard ends on the table top, screwed with elongated holes to allow for expansion and contraction - I plugged the screw holes...

A few weeks ago the wife and I purchased a new aluminum cargo trailer. We had a few amenities put on it at the factory; awning, fan, upgraded wheel rims, window, to name a few. Then I brought it home and began to convert it. I started by removing all the interior and insulating it with pink foam...

This project was inspired by the bathroom door in the gamble house. It's made of mahogany over plywood core. Some of the trim is alder and some is mahogany. And it's my first attempt at making leaded glass. My lovely wife helped me make the wenge pegs. The wenge dust is nasty stuff. I...

I know the title sounds a lot more glamorous than Arts and Crafts handrail. However, there is a connection. I've been mulling over a handrail that would match the railing I completed earlier this year. Adding to the issue is the overall length needed is 17 ft and don't have anything remotely...

Certain styles of furniture feel like an extension of my personality and life style, and the "mission style, and the G&G in particular, are the ones that give me the feeling of comfort with simplicity and hominess. This table has a bolivian mahogany top(left over from a wood floor job)with the...

A few years before I really started woodworking I built this planter with some scrap construction site wood and some scrap deck planks from an abandoned house. I build it with only hammer and nails. Needless to say, it is falling apart. I just build a privacy fence for our backyard and had...
