  1. Fenced in Workshop - Rip Sled

    Paneled my garage interior wall with cedar fence pickets recovered from neighbor's fence replacements. Started with 16 fence panels ranging from 4-6' wide. To get consistent size slats of solid wood with no rot, had to plane down to 3/8" thick and 4 1/2" wide. Out of 16 fence panels, I got 99...
  2. Stairway Paneling Project

    We decided to do a quick remodel of our front entry area. She did the painting, and I did the carpet removal and panel installation. The background of the panel is quarter inch oak plywood, and the strips are reclaimed antique pine from an old house down the road being torn down. The materials...
  3. Family Room & Kitchen

    Well, it's only taken 1 ½ years of working only on the weekends, but the kitchen and family room are complete and momma's happy! The kitchen boxes were made with prefinished plywood. The fronts were made with paint grade maple shaped on a router table and sprayed with lacquer and a clear coat...
  4. This guy told me he wanted to keep the price down and keep it simple!

    "LOL" They all tell me that, but this guy is over the edge! We started this project over a year ago with hopes it would be completed by last spring and at the rate things are going we'll be lucky if we make this spring! I'm not bitching, it's work, but it's time to move on! We spent the first...
  5. Center Piece Candle Holder

    I ran across this candle holder in woodsmith magazine #182. My original thought was to make this out of a nice, figured, piece of curly maple that I had been saving for a small project like this. After getting the materials together, I did not think the 4/4 curly maple was thick enough to get...
  6. Paneling my office

    Not long after building the shelves in my office, I started on the paneling. Again I used Poplar, and started with 3/4" rough which I dimensioned and let acclimate for a week. I half-lapped all the main intersections, and mocked up each (3 total) panels for the office. Once each frame...
  7. Living Room Paneling Project

    Finally finished the paneling I blogged about here: http://lumberjocks.com/Roostermiester/blog/13281. The finish turned out to be a major pain. I used an older can of PolyStain that was a bit thick and difficult to cover the top edge of the panels. I had to do several more coats on the top...
  8. Pipe organ redesign

    OK… this is the last of six (6) church projects that spanned 2006 through re-dedication of the expanded sanctuary in Jan. 2010. In the first pic you'll see what was the original configuration of the pipe organ… essentially a base keyboard unit with wings that supported the upper chambers...

  11. New staircase - adhoc remodeling

    I was in the process of laying new Santos Mahogany flooring down and it was obvious that the whole pink terrazzo - wrought Iron - Berber carpet staircase thing had to go. With no budget to tackle this in a traditional sense I decided to "just start" with materials I had available and see where...
  12. Judges Paneling in study

    This is a restoration job I did last month in Bloomfield Hills, a northern suburb of Detroit. A poorly designed roof lead to a pretty severe ice dam, which I repaired back in march. The dam caused a leak into the study and ruined the hardwood floor, one entire wall of paneling, and a good...

    I converted the horse wash stall in my barn/shop to an office. Paneling is cheap 1/4 inch plywood coated with water based polyurethane. Trim is solid cherry. Countertop is walnut and poplar strips glued together. Floor is 4×8 sheets of 1/2 inch wood siding.

    Hi, I'm new to working with Beetle Kill wood and am looking for tips on finishing a large amount of interior paneling. I want to achieve a matte finish that won't yellow overtime. I also wan't to highlight and preserve the unique colors of the wood. Because of the square footage I would like...

    I have designed a chair for a commission I have, and I will be cording the seat. I would prefer not to use typical Danish cord, because of the colour. so I am trying to source some cotton 3mm cord that has colour options. I estimate needing about three pounds of cord per chair, so it must be...

    Built in Entertainment Center I took it upon myself to get back into woodworking by building an entertainment center in a TV nook that was in our house. Previously I had done some bookshelves from New Yankee Workshop and they came out nice, but this by far has been the biggest project. There...

    The situation is that my project is made of cheap 1/8" not real wood paneling bought from Lowes. I think it's called cinnamon beech. I decided to use it because the project involves several bends and i needed it for its light weight and flexibility. my original though was Masonite but the...
