  2. Gas Tanks Fence

    For a while I knew some protection was needed on the gas tanks, so last summer I decided to start building a fence/gate to reduce any potencial danger. I made the frame out of pallet wood, (its a good way to recycle and save money) and gave it a mahogany finish to protect from the elements and...
  3. Simple Homemade Tools

    The first four photos show an improved block sander. Hand sanding is made easier by adding a handle to an ordinary home made block sander. The last two photos show an easy to make bow sander. This simple tool is useful when rounding off corners in small piece as in intarsia. It consists of a...
  4. Wooden Scabbards for my Gouges

    Yeah these are really really simple but you have to start somewhere. I do instrument repair/luthiery for a living and gouges are especially useful to me for making cleats (to repair cracks) repairing nicks and dings in guitar bodies, and many other jobs that are too varied to list. This isn't a...

    This is my first project that made it into the house. It's from the Popular Woodworking book, Arts and Crafts Furniture Projects.
  6. Feather Key Jig - The safer version.

    OK, I have seen a couple of Feather Key cutting jigs on this site and I decided to throw my design into the mix. I took an existing design that I saw somewhere and added a few tweaks of my own, some for function and some for safety. The entire thing is made from scrap. Some plywood for the...
  7. Workbench (shopmade)

    My very first woodworking project was to build a workbench. I chose a plan that would not bee too difficult for a beginner without a lot of tools but be sturdy enough to last. I then added a dual-screw tail vise.

  11. Ladder and conduit carrier

    I built this using 2×10 hem-fir construction lumber. Painted it a bunch of coats to match the truck. Sorry stain fans :-)) It works well for securing ladders and conduit keeping them damaging the window or paint. The small window cut out is so I can see the 5th wheel hitch when hooking up.
  12. Trash / Recycle Cabinet

    This was one of those fun-filled projects that I enjoyed from start to finish. I have a pet-peeve for trashcans out in the open and I wanted something that would be concealed. We also wanted something that would hide our recyclables can, which if you have one of these you know can get gross...
  13. My latest Project

    My latest project was to make a set of end tables based on my Thorsen Table entry. These are mission style tables, with a simple design. There is no drawers or bottom shelf (thus less dusting). These tables are made of Red Oak, and finished with three polyurethane (no stain involved). The...

  16. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    I've read absolutely glowing reviews of the Gloves In A Bottle on Amazon.com (most reviewers love the healing and moisture preserving properties), but the Invisible Glove is a slightly better price with pretty good reviews also. I'm mostly concerned with how either product protects hands from...

  19. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    About 40 years ago I asked a plumber on a job how to do something in my house. He asked why I didn't hire a plumber to do it. I told him I could run pipe. His response was anyone can run pipe, but if you want it done right and not leak, you need a plumber. The same goes for electrical...
  20. Finishing
    Looking for a few opinions. My father built a beautifully cherry desk for my daughter and I would like to protect the top from damage. The desk will be in her bedroom and she knows not to have food/drink there so I am not so much worried about that. What I am worried about is scratches and...
