The attic in our 125 year old Victorian had Fir moldings, trim, stairs and floor boards. When I wanted to build an office up there I pulled up the old floor boards, insulated and used 3/4 ply for the floor. All the boards were begging for a project so I hand planed everything, glued up stock...

This is a workbench project that was based on Christopher Schwarz's design for the Holtzapffel Workbench. I followed it loosely, making the following more major changes to it: -Made the stretchers closer to the floor. They are about 3" away from the floor. In another of Schwarz's designs, he...

My son needed garage shelves that could hold some heavy items. We had just recovered huge piles of fences blown over by Hurricane Ivan, so I made a shelf using the lumber "raw" (last two pics). I didn't like how rough and ugly it was, so for the second shelf I did a quick jointing and planing...

Wood came from a 100+ year old barn in La Salle, CO. It is tight grained Doug Fir hand planed on the top and rough on the base. Everything was scraped and soaked with danish oil. The top is waxed.

I pulled this oak from a house in Haubstadt, Indiana that was being demolished. The house was built around the turn on the century (we found newspapers stuffed in the attic from 1903.) The floor joists were rough sawn 8/4 red oak, quartersawn, about 7"-9" wide, 10'-15' long. I went crazy when...

I have seen many of these holders lately mostly two glass holders. So I was tinkering with the idea of a 4 glass holder. It was my first one and have some ideas for modifying it more and also working on two different versions of a 6 glass holder.

While camping in the Adirondacks a couple years back, we found a large deadfall Birch with the bark still intact. Needless to say, I was able to salvage two large pieces of bark, one which eventually became this sign. The bark is glued to a piece of scrap OSB, the letters in local Maple...

I made this cutting board from Appleply. (Appleply's a hardwood plywood similar to Baltic Birch) I cut it in 1 inch strips, laid it side to side and laminated it all together again. The top of the "cutting" board is this pattern of very thin, but consistant strips of hardwood. I finished it with...
