This coffee table was designed for our motor home. It stores nicely next to the bench during travel. It covers the hole of the stairs during the night, so none of the children will fall into this cavity. And when we are set up at a campground we use it as coffee or dining table. The NON-wood...

My friend wanted to replace their front porch, which was in very bad shape. I built this porch for them, just kind of making it up as I went along. It is made from pressure-treated woods and finished with Flood Natural-Tone Wood Finish.

This is a contender as an entry in the Gorilla Glue contest. I've got another birdhouse in progress in the basement and another, rather ambitious one on the back burner, inspired by a (I don't even know what to call it… a mini brick and mortar wall in a tree at the Roger Williams Zoo in Rhode...

This a quick prototype I put together for my lovely wife. Works very well, birds love it plenty of access for the birds. I used a $1.95 dollar fence picket and old wine bottle. The neck of the wine bottle sits about an inch or so from the tray. The wife has already asked for some embellishments...

This is a circular balcony I built for our home. The facia board was made by re-sawing a 2X8 cedar board into 3/8" thick pieces and re-gluing them using Gorilla Glue on a temporary form. All pieces of the railing were CAD drawn then transferred to the actual workpieces. The top railing was...

https://www.instructables.com/id/Solarium-She-Shed-Dancing-Deck/ Solarium She Shed I wanted to create a space in my front garden area that I could enjoy all four seasons(I live in the the Northeast US). She Sheds have become popular recently so I thought I'd make one for myself. This is my...

This was designed to have wine glasses hanging but I opted to make a drawer to hold bottle openers and such. I adjusted the heights of the two bottom rails slightly to keep a similiar look as the original plan. Oak with some walnut Danish Oil as the finish….now to stock it!

A couple of quick projects. Fist is a tether ball stand I made with and for my daughter. Originally the pole was cemented in to the ground, but over the winter it loosened up and would not stand up straight. I did not want to mess with digging another hole and replanting the lawn in the heat...

A lady came to me one day and brought the cast iron shelf support and asked me to build her a swing to high light it, and this was the out come. Then I saw a cast iron backed bench and took it one step further and made a four foot swing with a cast iron back, it came out pretty good. I stained...

The second project that I completed during the NYS lock-down is this standing planter that made for my Mom & Pops (WJ). I had seen a number of these for sale and thought that I could design and build one that was a bit more rugged. This one ought to keep the birds, squirrels, and ground hogs out...

Made this step for a house I no longer own. Made it in "mahogany" (sapele I think) so I would not have to maintain it. At the very moment we were leaving the house to move out of state, I yelled "Oh… WAIT!" and I ran over and grabbed the step. I plan to break it down and repurpose the wood...

Here are some of the mounting plaques that I have been making. I make a lot of hunting and fishing style projects.

A garden arbor we built last fall. Made of Cedar and stained, it has been holding up quite well. The flowering vine in the middle is slowly taking over the arbor which is part of the project look. Yes, I also did the Cedar fence in the background :)

I decided to build a picnic table as a surprise for some friends last October. I partially assembled it at home then transported it to their house to finish the assembly. By the time I got it assembled it was too late to put the finish on so I decided to come back the next weekend to stain and...

Designed and built this table for our flat screen TV in our living room. Wanted something that matched the Queen Anne style end tables and it needed to house the typical electronics, Blueray player and cable box. Under the cabinet, behind the skirt, is a compartment for cables , wires , surge...

This roll top was made for a christmas gift for a friend of ours and his wife. They were missionaries for 13 years and now he is an Associate Pastor at a nearby church. I had promised him a desk 4 years ago but never came through. I truly hope this has made up for the long wait. The desk was...
