I made one of these way back in high school for my Mom. Somehow she lost it or it got broken and she really wanted another one for her birthday. I still have lots of Sapelli left overs from my uncle so I used some of the more visually appealing pieces for this. I used box joint construction...

Hello, This is a little project I just completed for my better half. She wanted to be able to stand up and type as she was entering information. It was made form some nice Cherry that I had milled and dried in my solar kiln. It's nice to know that this used to be a tree no farther than a mile...

A lot of health-conscious folks at work convinced me that standing is probably better for me than sitting all day. They ended up turning some filing cabinets on their side and mounting their external monitors to that. When they got tired and wanted to sit for a few minutes, they were forced to...

So, the first time I got interested in wood work was in 2004 when a local company quoted me almost 6 grand to install a desk in a bay window of the room I use as my home office. Not only was the price eye watering but the dimensions were limited. So I took a 10 week evening class at Norwich...

I spend a lot of time pouring over blueprints in my office. I also struggle with some sciatic pain from sitting too long. Thus was born the need to have a standup desktop in my office. I have a short gun safe in the corner that is just the right height but the top is a bumpy powdercoat fiinish...

Well here it is bookcase number two. Al the wood has been sitting in the back of my shop and I figured the best way to move it around during my shop cleaning was to get it built. Like the rest of my dimensional furniture is built entirely out of lumber from the box stores and joined using the...

I dropped off a portfolio and discussed having the business show case some of my saddles.The manager of the western department was agreeable to that and I left the portfolio with one of the owner's wives. I also learned that they were just...

I made these from a wood magazine plan as others have in the past. See Chuck M and BreakingBoardom. The card holders are made essentially the same as the directions except for Chuck's suggestion to laminate the hinges from 3 pieces. I think they would have looked better with more figured...

After having built an interior for a home office, our client decided to have us design a desk for him. It had to fit into a small area, and allow both him and his wife to work at it together. It also had to fit the design motif of the room. The desk can be used as a one or two person desk, by...

The custom desk project was built to fit into this room. We took the original design from the architect, and some comments from the owner, and came up with this. It is a combination of both of their ideas, plus a few of our own. The hardwood is Mahogany. The veneers are Quilted Makore. The...

Saw a picture of an antique map drawer cabinet online and immediately thought - next project!! But, who needs a piece of furniture with a bunch of tiny useless drawers. So this is built so that each two drawer front pairing are actually fixed together and form one large deep drawer. So there is...

When we moved into our house about 3 years ago, we needed to furnish our office with a pair of desks. We couldn't afford the nice office furniture we found at the furniture stores and we did not want to get one of the cheap desk kits, like Sauder, we could get at Staples or Office Depot. We...
