  1. Second try at a hinged lid

    This small box is made from scrap pieces around the shop. Cherry box with mitered corners and red oak keys. Top and bottom panels are made from mdf veneered with lacewood. My first attempt at veneer, my second attempt with a hinged lid. The proportions are a tad "?" in that not much fits inside...
  2. First project in awhile - a simple little box

    Last week was my first trip into the shop for any work in awhile - just been too hot. This a little box that I made last week. It is about 3"x6"x3.25" tall. I don't recall the species of wood that I used for the box, just some scraps that I had lying around. The lid is hinged, with brass...
  3. Bench with Storage #2

    Another bench with storage, built from 2×12's and 1×6's. I used thinner stock for the rails this time in order to maximize the inside width. The corners are again pegged with dowels, this time 2 different sizes per corner because they are what I had on hand. The lid on this bench is hinged, just...
  4. Snakes and Ladders

    This is what I've been working on since the beginning of December, though I first had an idea about doing something like this earlier this year. Its been slow to develop. Its a reversible cube box with all corners (and the lid) hinged. It has a birch ply liner (keyed into the slot in the bottom...
  5. Mahogany Hammer Dulcimer Stand

    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...
  6. Jefferson Bookstand

    This is a Jefferson Bookstand I made for a friend. It is a 5 sided bookstand - apparently Jefferson would use it to study multiple texts at a time.

  7. Garage Cabinets

    I just needed some extra garage storage for all those random items that go with owning a house such as; paint cans. God, the paint cans. I wanted something simple, without frames, and easy on the pocketbook of course. I managed to build all three of these cabinets, including the center yard...

  9. Salvaged Pallet Wood Dovetail Box with Hinged Lid

    I keep building boxes mostly because I enjoy them and their neat to give away, but because I don't have a dedicated workbench (or really an open table to work on other than my table saw) to work on and it limits me because my shop is so unorganized right now and I need to build my workbench. So...
  10. Bubinga and Curly Maple Table

    This table was made for a former co-worker that I have done several past projects for as well. he seems to like my work. He asked that a small side table be made for his bedroom, where he could have some storage space under the lid. He gave me some dimensions and left the wood choices with me...
  11. It Takes Two to Mango

    It Takes Two to Mango A local woodworking buddy gave me a small chunk of Mango and an odd shaped piece of Opiuma (Yup, it's a new one on me, too). After re-sawing and glueing, I was able to stretch the two into a pair of boxes. The larger tapered box with the lift off lid is approx. 6×6, the...

    Remember my last wood gloat? (the $60 of Walnut and Cherry) Well this is about %1 of that wood made into a box! I didnt know what I wanted to make, so decided I'd start off simple and small. I'm still a a beginner at this whole woodworking thing, so did a lot of firsts. Didn't turn out...

  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    A couple days ago I received a request for a wall-mount, rifle display "shadow box" as she called it. I am sketching a proposed blueprint to send w a quote tomorrow & I can't decide which hardware would b sexier. I want the glass front to flip down rather than lift up & I'm trying to decide...

  17. Finishing
    My grandad made his own wood stain that had a beautiful red tint to it. The only part of this recipe we now for sure he used was coffee grounds. We still have hundreds of empty cans in the barn now reused for everything you can think of. I would love to make this stain to match all the beautiful...
