Hello All, Just thought I'd post a project I had made for my Son's Wife, If I should mention Daughter Later you'll understand who I'm talking about. I simply dislike the words Daughter-In-Law, or Son-in-Law. Makes me think of the Missing 13th Admendment. Well I was trying to figure out...

I built this dresser/changing table for my first born, Annalise. It features a exotic wood butterfly inlay and curly maple "racing stripe" in the top, fluted cherry side and door panels, and a removable top "drawer box". The main internal structure is birch plywood with frame-and-panel sides...

Made a coffee table for my living room - initially tried pocket holes but did not like the way it felt under light/intermediate pressure (I sit on my coffee tables, sometimes, top was attached with pocket holes and glue and still is) So I rebuilt using lap joints and 7/8 dowels, no screws - Top...

Here's a cross I did for my mom's mother's day present. The wood started out as pallet wood but then discovered it is Alder. Just did the lap joint on the router table with glue and clamps. After looking at Greg's and Benji's carving, I decided to give it a go and now I'm addicted. Finish is...

I'm taking an online course from Woodworking For Mere Mortals right now that focuses on shop organization and improvement. This is the Handicart from that course, but modified to fit under my table saw and also hold my miter sled. It's made using half lap joints. I was able to make it all...

Living in a northern climate with a never-ending winter, my entryway quickly gets overtaken with an overwhelming amount of coats, snow pants, scarves, tuques, etc. that overflow from my mini closet onto the banister, entryway bench and anywhere else we can find. I decided it was time to add some...

Walnut Presentation Box. This was a fun project….Somehow, a guy found me on the internet and asked if I could build a presentation box. A group of guys wanted to present one of their hunting group with a special gift….a Beretta 9mm handgun. We only communicated via email, but I sent sketches...

You can see me build it on youtube here: I found this cool little project on lumberjacks, made by UncannyValleyWoods. It was pretty fun to make the 3-way lap joint, making sure to keep everything tight. check out UncannyValleyWoods stool here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/88599

This is a New Yankee Worshop plan made from pine. The base cabinet has edge joined solid wood sides. The top is jointed with biscuits. The back of the shelf unit is bead board tongue and groove. This was an awesome project to learn lap joints which were used on the face frame, and of course...

I made these wooden cars as Christmas presents for my nephews. The natural wood car and the red car are made from an old oak tree that was torn down at church. The other cars are made from scrap 2×4's that were laying around. The wheels on the natural wood car are also from the oak tree. All...

Why a folding workbench? When the weather turns cold, I roll it inside where limited space makes it impractical to have a full time 4 ft wide foot print. In fact, the only time I need it 4 ft wide is when I occasionally cut a 4×8 panel. The lower deck storage is proving to be very handy...

Yay!!! I am beyond thrilled with how this Walnut & Padauk side table turned out! I painstakingly chiseled every joint by hand and ALMOST enjoyed every second of it! ;) This was my first time working with Padauk and I must say, for a flatboarder, it was extremely workable. My only complaint would...

Being new to woodworking, everything takes me a loooooong time. This frame was certainly no exception. I spent probably 40+hours on it, from designing it, to getting materials, to replanning, reworking, working, and finishing. I learned quite a few things along the way though, including what did...

Kerfmafe - handydandy Ok, I think it's time to say: 'That's it!'. Yes, I could not resist, I had to think some more on this… And SPalm wrote the other day on a post 'handy dandy', this kept coming back in my mind, since the first I made was dandy, but not really handy… So this one are more...
