Since we had our first baby at the beginning of march I haven't spent much time out the garage, so I end up thinking up new projects while feeding or changing diapers. First new project was to re-arrange the garage, starting with this stand. I only have half of a double garage with my wife...

I have always considered building the Blacker Living room armchair to be a sort of rite of passage for G&G furniture makers - but I have yet to make one!! Although I have made every variation of the Blacker chair I can think of - this settee being one of those variations. The Greene's did not...

I have a limited space in my garage and I typically roll my MS out to make cuts to minimize dust in the garage. I built this to save space and try and collect as much dust as possible so I could keep it up against the wall permanently. There are multiple dust collection points: a big gulp...

I converted an old greenhouse structure into an indoor run for chickens to provide protection from wind, rain, and snow while they scratched around. It connects to an outdoor run that loops around my veggie garden to help keep weeds from encroaching there. Inside the covered run I designed and...

I've been planing to build a dedicated miter saw station for a while but had a few restrictions and considerations I wanted to make sure I addressed. - First off, I wanted it to be affordable-> lumber cost for this build = $90. - Next I wanted to keep the footprint relatively small (same as the...

To keep the loss of cutting capacity to a minimum, I use a thinner plywood board (1/8"?) for the sacrificial fence. Instead of screwing (and filing the screw heads flat), I went with the double-faced tape that's much stronger than the carpet tape...

Here is a couple of cribbage boards I made. I got the wood last year from an orchard near my parents place in Nakusp BC. It was in log form in their fire wood pile. I took a few logs and sliced them into roughly 1" planks last summer. The boards were all stickered and dried over the year. The...

I have two videos showing the construction of a compound that we can keep our trailer in and keep it dry, a few months later we now have plants and a cat in there he hardly comes out ! The gate was made later, just by screwing a few of left over board together with two horizontal brace and a...

So for Father's Day I got an awesome gift of a little Bluetooth speaker and I decided that when I'm out in the deck a little stand would be awesome .. I had some scrap 4×4 and I decided to use that, I put two channels (1" wide and 1/2" wide on opposite sides of the 15" piece of wood, using my...

Gary Katz has shown two methods to check and set a mitre saw for square cuts: Two-cut calibration I used the four-cut method: The first pic shows the cuts made to get the square and mitre (right & left) settings tuned. It took me well over an hour to get them right! The last two pictures...

I have been collecting a lot of small cans of finish weather it being a quart size or smaller so I decided to design and build this and in so I used a Kreg Pin hole jig for the first and I have to say it performed admirably. It does the job .

Over the past seven weeks I have been taking an evening woodworking class at the University of Oregon's Craft Center. The class is an introduction to woodworking class focusing on making a bench or small table. I chose a Stowaway Bench plan which I found in a copy of American Woodworker - a...

As you can see .. no matter how hard I try my bench top is always a mass of organized chaos while working on a project. As such tasks such as setting up a mitre box then removing it and moving on to the next step only to have to scoot everything back out of the way to set it back up has made it...

vase I named mudslide due to the hartwood that apears to be sliding down the sapwood

This was a band saw bowl made from Australian Lace wood. My daughter said the wood looked like fish scales. That was the only inspiration I needed. The split went right down the center in the mouth and out the tail which actually made the design more symmetrical. The eye was just a left over...
