  1. Treasure Chest For Card Game

    We play an awesome game called Munchkin our house. A while back we got a version called Munchkin Booty, a pirate-themed set. Since then, we've added two more expansions and a dire situation occurred. Nothing big enough to store all the cards, rulebooks and paraphernalia. So I got some...
  2. WWMM Pallet Wheel Barrow Planter

    Made this pallet wood wheel barrow planter from Steve Ramsey's WWMM plans for my Mom's birthday. My mom is huge into gardening and she is the type that can never have too many planters. At first I made it just like Steve's plans and left only one slat in the back of the barrow (in pic 4), but...
  3. Reclaimed Cutting Board #4 (January 2013)

    What started out as a box mattress is now a cutting board. If you have nothing better to do for the next 25 minutes you can watch the entire build here on my LumberJocks blog.
  4. Lots more Ice Cream Scoops

    I made these one afternoon. I make handles for several things, so I have lots of blanks cut and ready to turn. The one with the pointed handle is an off axis turning. I made the scoop end on axis, then shifted about 1/4 inch in one direction, then 1/4 inch in the other. But I didn't turn the off...
  5. Recycled Wood Picture Frames

    I made these frames for a local photographer. The material was found wood on the bank of the Ct river. She ordered 6, and these are the first two. This was a fun project, once again challenging my skills with no plans to work from, just imagination. Thanks for looking!
  6. 3 Tier Coin Display

    A customer at one of the craft shows asked if I could do a 3 level coin holder. She didn't want anything fancy, so I made three standard 2 slot holders and epoxied them together. Indian Don't know wood. Sanded to 320 grit, sealed with 2# shellac, polished on the Beall buff system. I think the...
  7. Prayer Table made from an old...

    This project is a prayer table that I made out of repurposed wood from an old crib that I got from a friend of mine. There is a cool story of God's providence that goes along with it. In the spring, I went to a Bach concert in our beautiful St. Cecilia's Cathedral, and I started thinking about...
  8. Sofa Table - Barnwood

    My wife and I were in a department store looking at furniture and we came across a table similar to this that was priced at well over $1000.00 (Yes, One THOUSAND). She liked the table and I liked the challenge so I took a picture or two before we left and when we got home I started to build it...
  9. Picture frames from fence boards

    Made some picture frames for my mom, she's taking a painting class. Use the same fence boards from the neighbor with the birdhouses. Thickness planed down, cut the profile, cut to match the pics. Backed with cardboard from a box and some glazing points to hold in place.
  10. Shave Horse

    My first post here so be kind. Always wanted to build my own shave horse so this became my Christmas project. It's based loosely on a plan from Lee Valley / Veritas. I built the horse almost entirely from salvaged and left over materials. The maple bench was a dumpster find from a locker...
  11. 5 1/2 inch saucer in Curly Movingui (dunnage)

    As I posted in a blog article a small bowl I was experimenting with flew apart at 1300 RPM. No injuries, minimal damage, lesson learned. Not to be intimidated, I glued the pieces back together and finished the bowl. This is one of the few pieces of dunnage I feel comfortable naming the species...
  12. Box Blind from re-purposed fence

    This is a deer stand I built for a past client now friend… he runs a 7,000 acre cattle ranch in west Texas and asked me to build him something "solid". So when my father-in-law said he was replacing over 100 lf. of cedar 8'-0"T. fencing I was quick to jump on the opportunity of getting some "no...
  13. FOUND AN OLD PALLET

    I am a manager at a warehouse. We were loading a trailer full of scrap pallets, usually they are pretty light. We found a 48"X45" pallet that took two people to handle. I am a 6 foot, 210 pound retired Sailor, I am no little guy. This was heavy. I decided to take it home and make this from...
  14. 9" Butcher Block Bowl from Dunnage

    Decided to try something different, a butcher block bowl. Tablesaw wasn't set properly so there was some gap in the "square" sections, so after turning I had to fill some gaps in the bottom with shavings and superglue. Due to the nature of superglue on open end-grain I actually finished the...
  15. The Scream (Pallo Verde Root Abstract Art)

    Urban Sonoran Desert miniature accent art piece procured from an abandoned, dead, Palo Verde Tree. I guess I would call this abstract art. I resisted the urge to over sand and polish this piece. I simply cross cut the end of this as it was rotted and decaying. When i did, I noticed a most...
  16. Repurposed Pallet Desk

    My son was in need of a desk, and I had a pallet and a few hours to kill, and this is what emerged.
  17. Old-Growth Douglas Fir Bookmatched End Grain Cutting Board

    Made as a gift for a friend who is preparing to build a house - this board is made from a wall I tore out of my 1913 craftsman home - an ORIGINAL wall. So essentially, this cutting board is a repurposed 2×3 stud (since they didn't use 2×4s back then). The grain is amazing since the wood is...
  18. New outdoor table made from old outdoor table.

    I had an outdoor table on the deck that came with the house when we bought it a few years ago. I wasn't very attractive so I thought I'd make a new table. It occurred to me if I made the new one from the old one, it would provide a great excuse to buy a planer. There's a photo of the old one...
  19. Walnut slab bench

    This walnut bench was made for a close friend to put in his hunting lodge. The dovetails aare the largest I have ever attempted. The other leg is has a large knot and a lot of figure. Used a wedged tennon to attach it to the bench top. My friend wanted to ke the bark so I saturated it with poly...
  20. Router Dado Jig

    I know most of the regulars know of this jig - but thought I'd post it for anyone who has not seen this. This is just a simple Dado jig. I made it out of some leftover poplar and some aspen. If anyone has any questions on how to use it let me know - but I'm hoping the pictures show it pretty...
