This is a record chest I built as a commission for a friend. It's made of black walnut, with padauk and maple accent woods. The hand-shaped tops took the longest time. They were something I added in after I started the build, to match the overall look of the piece. (see original drawing above-...

This bin was made for the storage of vinyl records. My father and I made it as a gift to my brother who has worked up a collection of records. The construction is from maple plywood and veneer stripping. The joints are all pocket holed, screwed and glued using a Porter Cable Quick Jig. The two...

Well the Larry bug has gotten me too (Degoose). This is my first attempt at an end grain bread board. It is a bit on the small side because that was the extent of my clamps. Expect bigger if maybe not better things in the future as I have just invested in 3 Bessy 600mm clamps. I have no idea...

I promised my self, that since I was starting my new life as a early retired because of health, I would invest in my workshop, the first part was some state of the art Festool tools from Germany, and second part was this - old wonderful tools for woodworking, and most of all some planes, since...

A few flush mount shelves for a friend to display his vinyl record collection. Finished with General Arm-R-Seal Top Coat. Completed December 2017.

Our house has radiant heat from big cast-iron hot-water radiators. The heating is lovely, but they're kinda ugly. I built this cover for the radiator in our dining room, to give us a little sideboard. Body is ash, top is ash, walnut and mahogony. The whole thing is finished with several...

Use if you need to make rabbets and not feel like buying a rabbeting bit. You just need a suitable diameter straight bit (pictured is a 3/4'' bit to make a 1/4'' rabbet). Use a C-clamp to set either the accessory, safety first. I hope it helps someone. Greetings. Martin Úsese en caso de...

Shooting and planing boards small parts. Each time I had to plane small parts, I glued a small piece of wood on top of a board, to use it as a planing stop. This time I had to plane a bunch of small pieces both in thickness, end and length direction, so I thought is was time to make something...

You will have to forgive me just a little as this isn't a "wood project" - but I DID use a woodworking tool to do it! :-) I was high-bidder on a few "miscellaneous" boxes at an auction today and in the bottom of one I found a stack of 78rpm records. They appeared brand new with no scratches...

I was not overly fond of the original pictures of my table so I had DW snap a few more. Her eye tends to be a little finer than mine . . . so she keeps telling me. :-)

Awhile back, my cousin approached me and asked if I would build her a wooden mold that she could use in her soap-making hobby. "Something simple," she said, "as long as the corners are square and the dimensions are true." I told her to give me the dimensions and I'd figure something out. She...

Finally done!!! I had started this late Sept, but with a toddler and another on the way, time is hard to come by. I'll give you the basics, but for a full recap (kinda) I will refer you to my blog . The species are birch (just plain old paper birch) and walnut (most of which was castoff at...

After a 2 year hiatus from woodworking I decided to put my toe back into the pool with this "Robust Kitchen Table" patterned after Julia Child's kitchen table as detailed in the August 2014 Fine Wood Working article by Mario Rodriguez. I choose to use a full apron to support the legs rather than...

First post - first lathe…....I traded 6 (pretty nice) boards for the lathe. It's a beginners lathe, but very well built by Record in England. It is new, but has been stored in the boxes for 10 years or so. You can also tell I'm new to turning becasue the chisels are all from the same set…..I...

My record obsession was growing rapidly so I needed a solution to store my collection and I wanted some room for growth. I wanted a setup where you could flip through the records like at the record shops. It's often difficult to read the artists and album names when you can only see the spines...

This work bench has been in the planning stages from the beginning of more focused woodworking endeavor. So about 3 years. I wanted to build a bench as soon as I fettled and tuned my 1st block plane, but I knew I would need a bench to build the bench I ultimately wanted. It took nearly 4...

Hey Gang, I posted a few months back the bottom cabinet and counter top for my new laundry room reno…I have now finished the uppers… Basic 3/4 ply frame with MDF doors and pine case work…turned out well for my first attempt at cabinets… Actually funny store to go along with these...

I have a habit of taking lots of pictures near the start, then not many during and then lots of pictures at the end. Something I'm planning on working on in future projects. So apologies for that. Need to work on the photography a bit too. This was my first time doing a few things. First time...
