This is a bookcase system that we just competled in March 2017. It is a series of six bookcases with about 36 shelves. What we've done different on this on is behind the four center bookcases we put a Murphy bed. Now most of our Murphy beds are what they call Panel Beds where the face comes...

This is my Ross style with some extra features. This one was competed in May 2010. It is built in maple and with color I call a Golden Birch stain. It is a custom mixed color. The verticals of the bed and the outside verticals have a chamfer cut in them that stops 5 ½" from the bottom and 2...

This was a project that we finished and delivered on Christmas eve. It is a baseball loft. It is based off my baseball bed that I normally build with the customizable headboard. This is real similar to the baseball loft I built last August. Here are some of the changes I made to this one. I...

This is a Murphy Wall bed completed on 10-01-2007, built using the mission/shaker style. I called it Mission because I normally build this one using oak wood. This particular customer chose to use maple. It looks more shaker to me with the real clean lines and flat panels. They also selected...

This was part of a group that was designed for a small room. It had the Murphy bed with a built in folding desk, a corner desk, a corner bookcase, and a TV stand. I'm going to focus on the Murphy bed and corner desk combination today. The design process took longer then expected. We had some...

This is a version of my locker murphy bed that was built in November 2009. This is a murphy bed built to resemble a football locker. I normally build this in a baseball style. The inside headboard is designed like a scoreboard. This is taken from my regular baseball bed. The outside has...

Background I was headed to a friends for a long weekend when he requested I help him build a bookcase as a door for what he would turn into a hidden room. He didn't really have a plan, only some videos he had seen from youtube and his only tools were a drill and sawhorses. On top of that we...

This is a bed that was completed in February 2010. It is a murphy bed turned sideways with a chalkboard and a wide bookcase. I've build a sideways chalkboard bed before but not with the desk style bookcase on the end. The problem with the horizontal murphy wall beds is unless you place it in...

The Eagle Nest Chest I have been adding a combination locking system to hope chests for some time now and one day a fella commented that he would like to see the dials hidden behind a false panel, that it too would be locked from access. How it works: The nest sitting on top of the chest...

I had two goals for this project. First, upgrade our keychain holder that hangs by our front door. Second was to store and hide my handgun when it isn't in my pocket. Goal #1 was accomplished by building a 12×18 x 5" keychain holder made of cherry. It is finished in a couple coats of Deft...

This is a mahogany table that i made for mom's birthday. It has maple inlayed in the legs and a hidden drawer with dovetailed purple heart slides. I applied a coat of minwax english chestnut and then a coat of dark walnut and finished it off with three coats of lacquer.

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...

Hey everyone! Another project the list of items I published earlier that I wanted to do. I call this bandsaw jewelry box "porpoise" Now this is a unique box because the one challenge I wanted to do was create a "secret hidden drawer". Take a close to see where it might be. It's behind the...

The best protection form people stealing you stuff is for the thief not to know it is there in the first place. This bed did just that. Keep in mind, I don't tell city/state of this customer. It is the customer's design. The headboard lid is removable and exposes a couple trays for hand...

This is a Murphy bed that was completed in September 2010 but some of the building pictures can be found in August . I call it the Smithsonian because "Smith" was the name of the customer I first designed this one for. Normally this one has a desk that folds out of the desk but this customer...

This is a retirement gift for a Master Sergeant in the Air Force. The object behind this request was to make a traditional looking plaque that could house a bottle of Jack Daniels Whiskey. Only they wanted it hidden, locked and no hinges. The box is still missing the engraved plaque which wont...

This is a new style murphy bed that I built using the new leg from Create-a-bed. It frees up the face and allows for more versatility in the design. This on is a two tone color using natural maple with a white face. It has a 2 1/4" boarder on all 4 sides. Even the verticals are 2 1/4". I...

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...

This is my most recent creation. It's a bit of a mutt as far as woods go, I should have paid more attention instead of just using whatever I found (obviously). It's a very tall nightstand or side table. I think the height makes it humorous but it also helps access the hidden compartment. To...
