This old boy is easily 40 years old. My granddad used to use this when he moved cattle, and I used it when I had ankle surgery. I took it upon myself to fill in the cracks, sand it down and finish it up! Also, originally it did not have a cap on the end, it was just a stick for hitting...

This project is a restoration of a Panama Hat Crown Block and the mating Top Tipper that I made new. ------------------- Project Story: I have been making a lot of Hat Maker's Tools, especially since the economy went down and the bigger flashy furniture commissions became few and far between...

Restored tilt top table for a friend. All three legs had to reattached, which led to some creative clamping (second picture). There were also many bits that had simply broken off over time. Each of the three tripod legs had snapped off at some point in the life of this table, and blocks had to...

I got this off a guy on Craigslist for $75 a few months back. It was a present for my girlfriend. All of the glue in the leg joints had dried out and the legs were wobbly, and the entire thing was painted with thick, black paint - even the glass balls on the claw feet. The paint was all...

I was given this Jointer Plane around one year ago. It had been lying on the ground in a metal scrap yard and would have been destroyed. I cleaned it from the dried in mud using a scotchbrite pad, then coated it in boiled Linseed Oil. The blade was a bit rusty, but after cleaning and sharpening...

I picked up this old ECE plane at a market for 2 euros. It was water damaged but well dried out. The sole had separated in some locations and a few cracks in the body. The blade was very rusty. I cleaned the body, filled the gaps with CA glue and dust from flattening the sole on a sanding sheet...

I bought this hand plane 7 years ago in order to work while renovating the flat I was living in. I had very little money at the time and paid 2 Euros for it and an old worn down oil stone. I probably had about enough money left to eat that day. I sharpened the blade as best as I could and used...

I bought this old wooden plane at a market for 3 Euros, but I had stored it away and never looked at it until today. I gave the body a light cleaning and oiling, flattened the sole and sharpened the blade. It has been knocked about a lot through its life and I decided to leave it as original as...

Hello everybody, This is my third project that I`ve made and the first that I`m posting. I know that comparing to other projects made by my fellow woodworkers this doesn`t seem much, but for me it`s very special, because it has a very nice story. It was given to an aunt of mine by her...

Restored from scrap condition treadle sewing machine base. Rust stripped via electrolysis and sandblasting. New oak "tie rod?" constructed since original was missing. Painted and primed with quality enamel. Gold lettering reapplied. Treadle works without a squeak with the occasional drop of oil...

In this project, a client's custom laminate rolling pin with free-turning handles had fallen off the kitchen counter and broken off one of the handles. This project required: - drilling out the existing broken dowel - turning a new dowel on the lathe to match - gluing the new dowel back in...

This Steve Ramsey inspired park bench caught my attention and I knew I had to build one. It is very sturdy and durable. That is my very first project and I'm proud of it.

It's been awhile since I've posted a project…but much of my work hasn't been 'woodworking' in nature over the past few months (at least not woodwork that takes good pictures) ;-) A few months ago, I bought out a friend who was in the Barn Reclamation business here in Indiana. I bought over...

This is an old table that my friends father had in his shed for years because the finish had cracked and flaked off and the top had a big split down the center. When I was over talking to him one day he asked if I could do something with it for him so I sanded it up, made a new top out of Birch...

A work friend had a table and chairs she used when she was a kid. She is now a grandmother of 2 and wants her grandchildren to have a place to sit and play when they are over. I am happy she saved it and got it refinished as opposed to throwing it out and buying a new one from ikea. I sanded...

As a woodworker I spend a lot of time sanding and I decided it was time to make it easier so I made a small sanding block custom to my hand shape. It may not look like but it makes a lot of diference after a few hours of sanding. Hope you like this build! Build Video
