This table is made 100% out of scrap wood that was destined to be burned. The boards that I decided to use were full of flaws and were so unique and colorful that the flaws had to be designed around. This End Table has so many flaws that it should have been thrown out; but the flaws make this...

My wife and I have been thinking about adding a bit of character to our house seeing as newer houses tend to lack that. We have been talking about making three tip out garbage cans in the back of our island, so this pallet wall is going to have three gold cut into it for garbage, cardboard...

Most recent project, made it from some old bunk bed wood and some hockey sticks i found and broke this year.

I just recently picked up 2002 model Craftsman Jointer from a fellow woodworker in town. ($50, and it looked brand new!). I had been collecting reclaimed wood wherever I could and had picked up some pallets among other pieces. All of the wood for the table was taken from ONE pallet. The top is...

I never did get my wife an engagement ring when I should have six years ago now. I finally picked up a diamond for her. In order to make it a surprise and get an excuse for "what did you do all day on your week off", I spent half a week building her a laptop stand. The top is reclaims stage...

Fun project - I attend a school/open workshop that has been in Boston since the 1600s, The Eliot School. They have a ton of these old workbenches from the 1800s (with vises intact) that are now used as art tables. A couple had broken apart and I was offered one as a recycling project. I...

This is a fruit tray made from chair backs that couldn't be used for chairs for some reason or the other. I don't like to see good wood going to waste. I put lacquer and waxed it ,good seller at farmers market . Mjon

This is the second miter saw station I will be using in my shop. The first was for small cutoffs and 2×4 lumber. This one is for the wider and longer stock. It is a salvaged 42" sink base cabinet on wheels with 40" wings on either side. This gives me a total distance of 10'2" from end to end...

Old worn out beat up oak crate boards given some love and turned into a very comfortable studio/tall folding chair. Thank you Andy, Randy & Jeff for the tips and design. I made two of these but I see more in the future. I wanted to finish this chair off in a deep reddish stained color but was...

This is a magnetic chalkboard that I framed with reclaimed barn wood siding from our lot. I also made the chair rail and other pieces in the rooms from reclaimed materials. This is for a clothing company's offices. We are building quite a few reclaimed pieces for their designers.

so last in this batch of projects, I've not been adding them recently. Anyway, I put this side table together from some materials I "upcycled" (the new word for repurposed stuff I guess). I got the spool top and some 2×4's from a yard debris drop site. Normally this wood would have been chewed...

My second table i made, with a combination of broken futon wood and some plain hockey sticks i got from a old hockey stick factory. The centre of it was painted from scratch with one of my raw goalie sticks also from the factory, and all the table cuts were made with a handsaw.

A clock I guided through to completion over the last few weeks in the classroom. The movement and wood have been salvaged from other projects/throw out. The paint was a black/red acrylic mix. I'd like to do this for my home and use milk paint. Final coat is spraycan poly on a windy day. Not...

I needed a piece of furniture for my Pavoni Espresso machine and other coffee machines that I have. After trying to locate a quick fix second hand in the right height, I realized that I would have to build it myself to get what I wanted. The idea was something simple and robust to withstand...

This was an old solid cutting block from my grandmas house that she just threw out for firewood. The block was about 2' by 3' and a foot thick, it was heavy! I saw it and immediately picked it up to save. A guy named Guy made it for her over 35 years ago and it was literally black from years of...

Made this table last summer, probably the best out of my 3, all cut by hand and sticks over the past year or so. Its basically the same as my first table, only its rectangular. This table is also all out of broken unused sticks and the wood to support it and the legs are also scrap wood.
