I started building this toybox for my son months ago. I missed the deadline (his 3rd birthday) by a couple days. Other than the hinge and anticipated lid supports, there are no screws or nails in this box. The box is lightweight but rugged enough that the owner can sit on top or inside...

I made a set of dominoes using the Rockler template and drill bit. Once it was done, I quickly got tired of keeping it in a small cardboard box; it really detracted from the handmade dominoes. So I made the above project. It is red oak with a sliding walnut lid. The sides are joined with...

This is the most complicated box I've built so far, though not as complicated as some of our masters here. My goal is to build and hopefully sell a dozen of them to fund a replacement motor for my PM 100 planer. This one, though, my wife has claimed as her own. Coming from her, that's high...

I have an upcoming project where I want to make some splined miters. This is a simple and easy jig to make splined miters on larger items such as boxes as opposed to the traditional splined miter jig that runs on the table saw fence for picture frames. The jig is quick and easy to make and is...

My oldest daughter likes to sew and for her 10th birthday I decided to make a sewing box for her. She had been given one of those fabric ones, but it couldn't contain all the stuff she wanted to keep together. So I searched high and low for a neat design and saw an old Dutch sewing box for...

A few months ago I bought my first bandsaw and this set of oak boxes was my first project using it. I wanted to learn to resaw, miter, and spline a box with grain flowing all around. The stock was all from the scrap pile. My objectives were to understand how much thickness I could yield from...

This is a casket for a little girl. It's 1600 mm x 450 mm x 300 mm (about 5'3" x 1'6" x 1'), and is made of clear cedar. The bottom is a panel fitted into a dado; the corner joints are splined miters (sorry, I didn't get pictures). I made the splines out of slats from the same girl's crib. The...

This is a solid walnut and maple humidor made with splined miter joints. The wall thickness is 3/4" - needless to say this is a sturdy box. The tray and inside is lined with spanish cedar. The hinges are solid brass quadrant hinges. The knobs on the tray are also solid brass. I am debating...

Third project was this shower seat top. The teak one we bought rotted (?!) in less than 3 months. I built a duplicate out of Western Cedar and it lasted twice as long but eventually cracked (it was too thin of stock). I built this one after out of poplar as a backup which we are now using. I...

I have a benchtop style router table and was tired of clamping it to a workbench - I hate to keep moving it, and the surface is too high anyway. So I clamped it to a rolling cabinet, but that was too flimsy. So I designed a frame-and-panel cabinet that is absolutely stiff and rigid, and screwed...
