  1. Small batch of bookshelfs...

    This was a small batch of bookshelf speakers I built a few years ago. Two ways with Peerless tweeters and Vifa woofers… Tymphany doesn't manufacture these same woofers any more…and it's a shame. They were fine drivers. Ahh…good thing I have 40 left. ;-) I wonder what's going to be in my home...
  2. Home Theater

    This was my first real project and I learned a lot. If it weren't for Google Sketchup I would have used up 100x the materials. I think I re-dimensioned things for about 4 months straight in the model to ensure speaker size, screen, curtain space, etc. all worked out. First use of a table saw...
  3. Rich people and their egos, you gotta love them!

    This customer had it all, huge basement, great ideas and money! He told me he has 4,500 square feet of basement and wanted to cover it all with mahogany. I said okay! We used approximately 25 sheets of ¼" mahogany plywood, 15 sheets ¾" shop birch plywood and 3,500 hundred board feet of mahogany...
  4. Custom home theater

    This large piece was a commission, placed in a very large room. I thought it might overwhelm the space, but the room was so big, it worked just fine. It's made of stained mahogany plywood and solids, and birdseye maple. I generally don't stain, but this was the shade they wanted and staining...
  5. The Moore Project

    The Moore Project Architect: John Richert, owner of Crossroads Blue Sky . . This was one of the last rear projection cabinets I reluctantly built. The pocket doors stuck way out when open, and the lower drawers were huge…. like bunk beds. Looked like a Buick leaning against the wall. ...
  6. Home theater

    I needed some more storage in my basement and wanted to create a home theater area, so I built these cabinets. This was built out of solid Hard Maple and maple plywood. The cabinets have a beaded face frame with inset doors. I left a nook for the center channel speaker with a pull out for...
  7. DVD Rack

    This is a DVD cabinet that I built for my sister. I designed it to fit with some of her other furniture.
  8. Home Theater Room

    Built my first Home Theater in our previous home almost 20 years ago (yea, the analog days of Dolby Pro-Logic). Finally, got around to building the second one. This too was my own design; have not seen one quite like it (most of them extend to the floor like a stage). I have not yet been able...
  9. Custom Design Built Home Entertainment Room

    When I orginally bid this project it began as a small simple bar, a little platform for the chairs and a small component cabinet, 4 months and 23,000 change orders later we have a product to truly be proud of. All of the woodwork was designed and constructed onsite out of my trailer workshop...
  10. Home Theater Light Solution

    I removed bedroom two and three's common wall after minimal soul searching. In order too get everything in and allow for maximum screen size I cut out the wall between what was the end bedroom and the marriage wall with the family room. Since that was a structural wall I had to create a beam...
  11. Home Theater Wall Panelling

    I decided to turn our extra bedroom in the basement into a home theater room. After hanging the screen I thought it would look nice to surround it with some wood panelling. I used 1/4" birch ply sheets and 4" poplar boards for the trim. I stained it all with Minwax English Chestnut, and finished...

  13. Three Way Theater Speakers...

    I am an avid semi-professional speaker designer. I used to build them at an attempt to make a living…now I build them mostly for fun. These are a three way tower design, built out of MDF and covered in ribbon mahogany veneer. The finish is a wipe on urethane finish, rubbed out with fine pumice...
  14. Woodworking Skill Share
    I was able to get a good price on some 8/4 Padauk so I decided to get enough to make another rocking chair. This will be my second Maloof inspired rocker, Hal Taylor edition. What advice do you have for working with Padauk?

Lumber Liquidators sells this wood flooring and I managed to get a partial box on the cheap to play with.It is darker than black walnut by quite a bit and very straight grained.If Brazilian cherry [Jatoba] isnt a cherry, is this a nut bearing tree?. The guys at LL...

  17. Hand Tools
    I recently acquired a Japanese plane blade from eBay and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a species of wood (aside from oak :) ) to make the body out of. As with any wood plane I'm looking for density, stability, and of course figure. Thanks in advance and happy holidays!
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I need to make some room in my shop for another large tool. (It's 26×24, shoulda built it 26×42) I've got a Jet cabinet saw with the 5-6 foot extension on the right. (Melamine wrapped in iron?) It's got a Jessem router lift in it. The only thing it's missing is a slot for a miter gauge down near...
