"Ronnie" is my wife's (female) cousin. Ronnie … is coming up on Month Six of Sobriety. I'd imagine that some of you know that …. this is a huge accomplishment-not only coming to that place where you recognize that alcohol is NOT doing you any favors, but … actually quitting the bottle, and …...

A couple of years ago I had brought some pallets home from work. The intent was to salvage what lumber we could from them and build some bat houses. The pallets had some fiberglass and white gel coat overspray on them. After Jordan (my youngest son) and I started cutting them up one of the...

We have a friend that is in auctioneer, this table would not sell at one of his auctions, and he purchased it and asked us if we would give it a little care. Susie and I have been working on it in her spare time. We try to help pieces like this resell, but we can not always put the devoted...

Here is the box I created for EarlS and sounds like more so Earl's family. It is quarter sawn sycamore and walnut. I created the contrasting checkered pattern on the corners by laminating the two types of wood together before cutting the box joints. I had seen a box in this style before and I...

Coffered Great Room Ceiling using 5/4 red oak finish milled on-site in my shop. Hides four sprinkler heads which were carefully positioned during original construction so coffering would be in the right place. Ceiling was finished with 5/8" drywall and then the millwork was added. Some...

Using knowledge gained from the previous build of this same coffee table I used a higher grade of construction lumber. I used the 2X12X12 boards from the BORG. I was very selective to find boards with the tightest grain patterns and most possible quarter sawn sections. I went into much...

This is the last major project I'm doing in the current workshop, and it's the crowning piece in the kitchen update for showing the house. The cabinet at the bottom holds trash and recycling bins in slide-out drawers, and the middle three drawers are sized for silverware, kitchen rags and...

About 25 years ago, I bought my wife a big (humungous, actually) unabridged dictionary for Christmas. Since I recently took up woodworking, it seemed that a small table-top stand might be a good first project using actual (read: expensive) wood. The only other piece I built had been with scraps...

I made a mission end table to match our coffee table. My good friend liked them so much he asked if I would help him make 2 stands for 2 pieces of granite he had left over from a counter top. So, he did all the work, while I coached on the 2 granite tables. For his first woodworking projects...

This was my little project last weekend. It is loosely based on a tool stand I saw in a book awhile back. I haven't been turning for very long, but it is amazing how many small parts (chucks, centers, wrenches…) that I have accumulated. The eight drawers in my design hold all of that plus...

Thanks to Kiefer. His recent tote inspired me to make this one. This was made out of 2 spalted oak boards that were sawn 2 ways….plain-sawn and quarter-sawn. The dividers are slightly oversized in length and width so that they stay in place but can also be removed to just have a carry box...

Made out of quarter-sawn sycamore. It holds one jar of jelly and is a gift for Christmas…along with the blackberry jelly. It measures 7" X 4" X 4" and the "tin" is heavy duty aluminum foil that I punched a simple design in. It was tedious to say the least. Finished with Howard's wax. Thanks...
