This was a quick utility project made with plywood and biscuit joints. Pocket screws were also used to increase strength because of the weight that the cabinet will have to hold. Also because of the weight we used edge strips to support and stiffen the middle shelf and top instead of veneer to...

Slowly crawling out of my offline cave back to online life… This here is my most recent project that I finished couple of days ago: wooden rabbet plane. Beech, some little brass and steel. Finish is two coats of BLO. 200 mm / 8" long, 40 mm / 1-5/8" wide, cutting angle 55 deg. Will see how...

I've been needing a dust pan for my shop for a while. I have a cheap one, but in order to sweep up, I end up having to bend down, and with my bad back, that's no fun. So when I saw the one in Popular Woodworking by The Schwarz, I added that to my to-do list. I cut a couple pieces of elm for the...

Over the last few years, I have become more interested in improving my skill at using hand tools. I like the way good planes work and like the wooden ones a lot. I decided to start out by making a less complicated rabbet (rebate) plane. I had a nice piece of dense mahogany that would do for...

The spring swap this year was a surprise swap, so we could make anything we wanted. Since my shop was being built, and would not be complete until reveal week on the swap, I spend a while thinking about what I was going to build for the swap. I decided I'd make a skew rabbet plane. I have an old...

He last few weeks I've been on sort of a plane rush. It started with moulding planes and has moved extensively to rabbet planes. I have a no.6 hollow and round, a no.16 round, and 4 or 5 rabbet planes. So far all of my planes use blades hacksawed out of old table saw blades. They work quite...

Well, at least that was my intention. I have always admired a Krenov cabinet, so I thought I'd pay homage to the master craftsman. The drawers are maple with bubinga fronts. The cabinet is cherry as are the drawer pulls, while the dovetailed cornerposts and stand are made from bloodwood.

This is my second attempt at a cutting board. Still not all that technically hard but a lot of hard work. Especially considering I dont have an orbital sander, YET. It was sanded to 400 grit by hand all over. The finish is a board oil made from oranges. The whole thing is made from recycled...

I made this plane from some beautiful quarter sawn cherry with bubinga accents. It works like a champ and I have maybe $50 invested in it. Sure is a lot cheaper then a decent vintage one. Check out my blog to see how I made it, the build process is a bit long to describe here ;). The blade is a...

These three chests of drawers were made to fit under my daughter's loft bed. In the design I wanted to optimize storage, so there are no dividers and the drawers run out to just shy of the cabinet sides. Altogether there are 25 drawers, varying in height, but all having the same lengths and...

For this table i recently finished i had some trouble with the kiln dryed ash tearing out. After a chat with MaFe i could see that the only solution was a scraper plane. Searching LJ i found a super thorough blog by Shipwright describing a wooden scraper plane made after an old book awailable...

This is a solid Mahogany Coffee Table with Wenge and Purple Heart edge trim and bubinga leaf inlays. The mahogany has lots of ribbon and quilting that resembles silk. I also had one of the bubinga leaves flow over the edge of the table.

Fence and depth stop for Stanley 78 rabbet plane, which was missing these parts when I bought it for $5. Depth stop is held vertically using captive brass rod to slide in the plane's groove. Shaped wooden fence works well, looks good, and has got to be more comfortable to hold than the original...
