This is a tea box that I made for my wife a while back, over a year ago actually. It was the second box with splines that I made, it was also the last time I used splines, lol. I like splines, and they are easy to do, I just haven't had another use for them since this box. The wood is something...

Here is a recent box / small chest that I completed. It was my first time trying out the new Freud box joint blades I bought, and I used a home made box joint jig that is set up for very fine adjustments. The sides of the box are walnut and mahogany. The top and bottom panels are lacewood. The...

I made this back in April when my son started moving around, and we wanted to make sure his movements are only horizontal and not vertical. I actually wanted to avoid having to build something, since I have more than enough projects that need to be done around the house. We looked at several...

Ambrosia Maple, walnut splines, and a top that might be oak… not absolutely sure. I have been spending a lot of time in the workshop. I am the kind of guy that is easily bored, so I try new things quite a bit. I wanted a different kind of lift for my box and found an oriental (?) design...

I recently built 2 floating nightstands that each have a secret magnetic locking mechanism for the top drawer. This lock is really what I want to share. It only costs $3 to build and is very simple to add to any existing piece of furniture with drawers. It only requires a hinge pin, a poker...

I decided it was time to give my expensive router bits a place deserving of their value. I used a bunch of small pieces I had lying around, mostly hard Maple with a cedar back. I left some room for several more. A couple of drawers to throw the collets, guide bushings and wrenches into and I'm...

Long time ago in the galaxy far far away… Well, it's good to be back to woodworking. No need to repeat importance of sharpening. The easier access to your sharpening stuff, the more often you hit your cutting edges on the stones, the better from any point of view. In my case of very limited...

I started making these in walnut and found that some of the pen blanks I can obtain make for great fly fishing magnetic latches. For those that don't know what this is, see my video. I imagine there are myriad uses for them. Greg<>< Sierra-Nets.com
