  1. Projects Modified Picture Frame Miter Sled

    I added a micro-adjuster to an existing miter sled I use for cutting picture frames and the like. When I originally built the sled, I had it dialled in well enough, but for reasons not worth getting into, it got knocked out of alignment. So I decided to add a micro-adjuster to take some of the...
  2. Very easy Christmas gift

    My son comes home with all kind of crafts from school. One was a full picture of him they put up on the bulletin board and we got it at the end of the year. Usually I just throw them away as soon as my wife's back is turned but this one was different. I felt like I was throwing my son away...

  5. Bayou Gator

  6. Birdseye maple picture frames

    I bought these watercolors of the 4 Seasons during a business trip to Shanghai a couple of years ago. They aren't expensive fine art, but I thought they would be worthy enough of some proper frames. Wife got them professionally mounted on foam core, then I took over. The wood is birdseye...
  7. Tile Display

    This frame was an anniversary gift to my son Ben and his wife Jenna.

  9. Covered Bridge

    Hi ,this is a project I did in 2006, It is one of my personal photos(I enjoy taking my own photo and designing them into patterns). Designing this pattern was fun because of all the trees and how I was going to make my cuts. I made it one cut on the trees to the right (first challenge)the...
  10. Simple Craftsman Hall Mirror

    Very simple design! I was going to call this a Greene & Greene style mirror since the Greenes did: A. Use wood B. Use square plugs C. Use curves but that was still really stretching it 8^) The mirror is a 12"x12" tile from Lowes, the frame is white oak with a Watco finish (medium walnut)...

    This was going to be a bar top. I measured the existing bar and it was 64". I repeated 64", 64", 64", 64" in my head all the way to the shop. I laid out all of the material, glued them down, clamped them, framed the piece, grouted it, and finished it. I brought it into the house and set it...
