  1. Maple Mortise Madness

    120 mortise and tennons, 12 dovetails, a lot of biscuits, a few dowels and there you have it! Two end tables and a couch table made of maple finished with three coats of 35 sheen lacquer. The only mechanical fasteners used are for the undermount soft close slides for the drawer. One end table...
  2. Dresser & Night Stand

    I have been wanting a new dresser and night stands in for our bedroom for a while now, all of our bedroom furniture is dark and the old dresser was natural maple so it kind of stuck out a bit. I managed to make all of this out of material I had around the shop from previous jobs. It is made of...
  3. Wine Glass Shelf

    I saw one of these at an antique store and since my wife and I needed a stemware storage location, I thought it would do good to fill the need. Also, it was an excuse to use my new Delta 12 1/2 inch planer. The shelf is made of scrap pallet wood that I had. After several runs through the...
  4. Maple/Walnut/Wormy Dresser

    Thanks for checking it out, it's a dresser for my our one on the way. There's also going to be a small frame that will sit on top to allow for changing table. I couldn't justify building something just for changing, didn't seem worth it. The dresser is full sized, based off dimensions of our...
  5. House warming gift

    My friend who is a contractor just moved into a new apartment and didn't have anywhere to put his garbage and recycling, so I decided to make him a little island for his kitchen with two garbage roll outs. It was a nice quick project and I had most of the materials left over from other projects...
  6. Mystery Wood Desk

    I was at my local lumber supplier getting some 5/8 G1S birch for a job I was doing and I looked at the back veneer, it was this wood spices that I do not know (The last pic is the wood unfinished, maybe somebody will be able to shed some light on what it may be) and some of the sheets further...
  7. Rustic Headboard at last!

    The first piece of furniture we bought after we got married was a four drawer dresser a la This End Up. Our headboard for the bed was not of the same style but had been a gift so we just kept using it- for 30 plus years. This year we decided to junk it as its particle board nature was showing...
  8. My wife's kitchen

    I designed and built this small but functional oak kitchen for a new home my wife and I built in the summer of 2010. I like to think outside the box when designing projects. This has many hidden treasures. My favorite is the soft close doors and drawers. We like the accessibility and...
  9. Simple bowl, but an example of progress

    I made this for my wife, Sherry. She wanted something for putting pot-pourri. She can have pretty much whatever she wants as long as she puts up with me. I received a huge amount of help from an LJ member here while getting started on turning. I have a lot to learn, but each bowl I make lets me...
  10. Buffet Cabinet

    I just finished up this buffet cabinet for my wife. She saw a cabinet of the same style in a Pottery Barn magazine (Lorraine Buffet). I loved it as well but decided to build it and put my own twist on it. The carcass is baltic birch with hard maple edging and molding. The drawers are soft close...

    Are there any undermound drawer slides that will allow me to both push to open and also handle a soft close? I think with Blum Tandem it's one or the other.
  12. Woodworking Skill Share
    I am building a cabinet with large, frequently used drawers on a craftsman style piece. I like the look of dovetailed drawers with integral fronts, but am not willing to deal with binding wood slides on this project. I decided on the Blum soft close undermount slides, and the drawers will be...
  13. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Using a hinge of this type, can I build my kitchen cabinets with a 1 1/4" face Frame? I do not want the face frame to show or if it shows I want it to show as little as possible. I do not want to build Euro style cabinets but I want to come as close as I can in appearance to that style. Any...

    Design and Milling the Wood My daughter Jenny found a nightstand she liked on the web. She asked me if I could build one like it for her. Of course, I said yes. Then I began looking closer at its design. The challenge was with two design elements: (1) the lock miter joints for the case, and...
  15. Hand Tools
    Ok, I feel like i've got pretty good over the years finding information on the internet. For the life of me though I cant find anything on a right angle block plane. I watched a video a while back( cant remember which one now) and they were using one to shoot boards after they came out of the...
  16. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Caveat: I saw an old topic on this, but all the links led to deleted pages, plus it was pretty old. I'm very new to woodworking only having completed two projects, none invloving drawers. I'd like to make a nightstand, with only one drawer. I'd like to find slides that are push-to-open as...
