  1. Duet Piano Bench

    So hey, I guess I am kind of combining my introduction with this first project so a little info is in order. I am a rank beginner in woodworking though it has been a longtime interest. I have over the years modified a table so that I could inlay recessed tile in the top, built a few shelves...
  2. Curly cherry/maple piano bench

    I promised the wife a piano bench many moons ago. A few weeks back I stopped at my hardwood shop for inspiration. They had some curly cherry that just took my breath away. I bought a nice piece of 4/4 ~ 12" wide x 8' long. After a rough sketch on paper I had a basic plan, an 18" high x 16" deep...
  3. Cherry player piano bench

    My friends needed a bench for a player piano that they got for free. I designed a fairly simple cherry bench to match the fairly simple style of the piano. We both found this site that talks about propping up the seat on a player piano to give you better leverage when pedaling. So with help...
  4. Piano bench from old wood

    I made this bench from some old wood laying around the farm. The top is oak which was rough cut with knots and sap wood, the rest is pine. I made a compartment for storing music books. The cleats under the top fit tightly within the compartment so the top doesn't move around. I used danish...
  5. Piano Bench

    This is a piano bench that I made about six months ago (again for my daughter…seems like a theme). It was scaled to her size and has gotten a lot of use (and abuse). It is made of maple and finished with an oil varnish blend. This was my first attempt at inlay. I inlayed the walnut edging and...

  8. inlay piano bench

    Hello lumberjocks. This is a bench i built for my wife out of birch and jetoba. The birch is from some trees i fell a few years back and got a buddy to mill to 5/4". This explains why alot of my projects are made from this,even the bowls. (not Maple). The joinery is interesting the draw dowls...
  9. Piano bench

    So a couple of months ago I was visiting some friends and I was sitting on their little electric piano bench. I must have shifted my weight and the whole thing tweaked. The screws had pulled out of the particle board. Nothing that a quick drill and screw couldn't fix but I felt bad, and...

    Hi everyone; I have an odd problem, and am looking for some advice. After waiting for many years to switch out my Shopsmith, which I bought new in 1980, for a new cabinet saw, I finally made the plunge and bought a Grizzly G0690. I love it, and have no complaints. BUT. I liive in SE Missouri...

    Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the LJ community and I was curious if anyone around here uses Twitter?

    Ok while this technically has to deal with wood at some point, I still put it here to keep out of the way of more pertinent topics. I need a chainsaw to cut up logs to make turning blanks. I'm looking at either a Stihl, Echo, or Husqvarna. Does anyone have an opinion on these? I've heard from...

    The Carnage This is a piano bench from my church that has clearly seen better days. I'm going to try to put it back together and also make it stronger than it was before because I can see it has already been repaired once. I started with pulling apart as much would come. Some of that you...

    Design Well, I might as well give this whole blog thing a try. I've been having a hard time picking my next project. I have so many things I could make, but really nothing pressing. There is a large "honey-do" list, so I asked the wife what I should make next. She said "piano bench". Our...

    David Marks Piano Bench So this is my first real project. I have spent months practicing mortising and cutting tenons and ruining cheap wood before I attempted anything expensive. So far it is turning out better then expected. My future brother in law plays the piano from a kitchen chair making...

  17. Jigs & Fixtures
    Hi, I'm VERY new to woodworking, as in just using a table saw for the first time not too long ago, still learning the language, and on and on. I decided to pause the build of my first little mini workbench to build a crosscut sled for my little Bosch table saw. I loosely following the Wood...
