  1. Clear Epoxy - Used Shell, Dovetailed Box

    I recently got married, this is a box that I made as a gift for my best man. After it was complete I filled it with some ammo. I saw some other projects on here that encased items in clear epoxy resin, there was a table with beer caps that impressed me in particular...
  2. Gun Safe Clock

    A friend of mine who is a Detective wanted me to make a gun safe for him and left it up to me to decide what it looked like. I figured everybody has a clock, so it wouldn't be obvious. I put a hinged door on the front for a little fake-out and used Soss hinges for the hidden compartment, so the...
  3. A pendulum version of the Gun Safe

    My sister wanted a pendulum version of the gun safe for her bedroom (she has several pistols). Pretty much the same as the others I listed. The last pic shows that the Soss hinges work pretty well.
  4. Walnut Wall Cabinet

    Here's a hanging wall cabinet I recently completed. It's about 30 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. Made from walnut and maple details. The front and back panels are book matched walnut with sap wood edges. Finished with a couple coats of Tried and True. I really liked making...
  5. First jewelry box

    I made this late last year, mainly because I had found a stash of Soss hinges I had bought on sale a few years back. It turns out that Soss hinges suck for boxes (at least boxes with heavy lids). I had high hopes because the hinges went on perfectly, but after a few cycles the hinges began to...
  6. Exotic Bowl

    This bowl is made from macassar ebony and finished with friction polish.
  7. Kitchen Island

    A while back Sam20650 posted a project on a butcher block she made for a kitchen island project we were working on. Being a bit of a slacker I am just now getting around to posting the picture of the finished project. Actually, we delivered the project with the base unfinished because the owner...

  9. Folding card table

    This is a piece I just finished for a client who wanted a folding table to play cards on. He wanted something compact that would open up when in use. It's built of quilted and quartersawn maple veneer, solid maple, and wenge. It's 39" square and 30" high. This design is a contemporary take on...
  10. Walnut/Maple/Spalted Pecan Humidor

    This is a solid walnut and maple humidor with spalted pecan lining the top and bottom edges as well as on the inside edges of the lid. The joints are splined miter joints with 3/4" wall thickness. The tray and inside is lined with spanish cedar. The hinges are Soss brand and the knobs on the...
  11. Circa 1936

    Wow! A second place in the contest. Thanks everyone for the support. http://lumberjocks.com/awards/winter_2011/results/14 A box to hold greeting cards. This is something I started working on over three years ago. We moved and it got shelved. To be honest, I really didnt want to finish it, all...
  12. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hey Everyone, Has anyone used SOSS® Concealed Barrel Hinges when building boxes? I've been looking around for an affordable 'invisible' hinge and this seems to fit the bill, but I'd like to know your experiences prior to purchasing. I've also looked at quadrant hinges, but they're a bit pricey...
  13. Joinery
    Hey guys, I'm wondering if you guys have any preference or opinions on soss hinges for humidors/boxes. I think they look great but look like something that would definitely require a jig and can easily ruin a box of not done correctly. I'm building a large box out of ambrosia maple and walnut...

    Design - Feedback Welcome I've seen machinist toolboxes here and elsewhere a couple of times, but never felt they would be useful for my woodworking needs as they seem to be aimed at organizing smaller items/tools/etc, so I never paid much attention to these boxes. With my recent interest in...

    Just add Soss In two recent projects, the Copper Patina box and the String Box II, I installed Soss hinges. I had once thought of a way to adapt a regular square hinge jig to make routing the mortises for the Soss hinge easier. It turns out, with this jig, it is very easy, and fast, and...

  17. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I've started to design a buffet table/cabinet for our dining room. I'm really excited about this project because it's one where I can really see how my design will tie into the rest of the room as we've been doing a lot of new decorating there. I'm torn about which hinges to use for the...
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I found this 6", 3/4 HP jointer on Craigslist and it appears to pretty hefty (wt 165 lb) and in very good shape. The owner says one of the knives is a little high but all are in good shape. The gentleman who owns it says it has no manufacturer name or model number. He does have the manual...
