Making up some gun coat racks for my up and coming Alumni meeting tomorrow. I take an old rough board, sand it only enough to take the sharpness away from it, color the edges with spray paint on some and finish them in low sheen lacquer. I have these reject gun stocks and plane off one side...

Being an avid pool player and as i got better and better on my lathe I was approached about doing something that was on my to do list for a long time. A Pool Cue. I had been working on the plans and best way to make an epoxy hybrid pool cue for a long time. So I leaped at the opportunity to make...

Last week I posted my first try at building one of these - got some good advice that the proportions were wrong, so made the adjustments and finished all 3. A friend of mine did the machining for HSS shafts and used Easy Wood Tools carbide inserts for the cutters. The handles are hard maple...

Pic 1) After assembly of raised top I didn't like the appeal but it was already glued together(hehe,,see those clamps,,) Pic 2)After routing the edges of the Oak in the center,I made Ash trim for the perimeter(The last of the Ash I had left from the tree downed years back in town:( Once the...

I built my own fingernail grind jig based on the King Heiple design on fine woodworking. It is a fingernail grind sharpening station, mounted under my grinder and installed on the wall in my shop.

Watch as I turn a metal ruler into a bevel gauge, for simplicity I did not making it sliding but you could easily drill two holes and cut a slot with a rotary tool (dremel) and a cutting disk. build video HERE Thanks for checking it out if you enjoyed this project please consider sharing...

I was just out in my shop, so I brought these in to get some pictures. The back three are Ash, & the front one is Apple. The original handles were kind of small for my big mitts. I have three more left to make. By the way, these are Record, Lathe Chisels. Boy do these ever work great. It's the...

Finally got around to makiing this project. Been wanting to get to this since October. Nice winter weekend project. (Also showing the snow we had this week). Sides and shelves are 3/4" MDF, back is 5/8" plywood, front face is scrap walnut. Painted white (still drying) and wipe-on poly finish...

They work great and are comfortable to my hands. I'm pretty sure I have less than $30 in each of them. The next ones will have holders I make, so the cost will be a bit less. The 3/8" round holders are interference fitted into the handles (no glue required). The 3/8" and 1/2" square holders...

A friend hired me to build her a wooden ice chest for her son-in-law, who is a huge Atlanta Falcons fan, so I had just the design in mind. It's nothing fancy, and she didn't want anything fancy, but it's very sturdy and since it's made from pallet wood and has several coats of Thompson's...

This is a follow up to this project which you can see here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/14258 I chose 2×2 billet of hard maple to make the handle for the hollowing tool that I made in the above project. A 3/4" brass threaded plumbing endcap was used to make the ferrule. Brass turns well...

I have been in shop upgrade mode lately. This should be a big hit around here. My design skills are primitive at best. I made a mockup out of 2×4"s, decided what I liked and didn't, this is the result. I'm not worried about it falling over, the base is twice as wide as the top. The legs are...
