Back in 2012, we cleaned out our old farmhouse that 5 generations of our family had lived in. In the attic, we found an old lamp that has the exact dimensions of a 1909 Popular Mechanics magazine. The funny thing is, the 1909 magazine says the shade is way to hard to make and you should buy one...

The concept is that I wanted to make boxes collaborating with friends who had talents that I did not. Weaving and stained glass are not among my talents. However, I have friends who do those things well. Lynn does textile lectures and sells at shows throughout our region. My problem was how...

First large project. I also made the stained glass.

Alright I know that this is glass and not wood, but I am in the process of making the lamp and I wanted to share this major accomplishment with all of you. This is my first stained glass piece and like all of my other firsts this one was a small project that turned out huge. I am making the...

Nice little stained glass and wood clock I made to use at work. Working in a grey cubical all day, I need something to liven it up and rest my eyes. Its about 5 in by 10 in. I used a dremel with a tiny engraving bit to engrave the glass for the hour marks and then painted a little bit of...

During 2009 and 2010 I participated in a millwork apprenticeship sponsored by a foundation of Prince Charles. We'd go into a early 1900's house pull out old doors, windows, ornaments brackets, and fireplace mantles, bring them back to our shop, break it down to individual parts and mill...

recent work made from teak for an Islamic place

I just finished my latest stain glass project, from a pattern named "Falling Leaves". I have made a couple of oak frames for past stained glass projects, but decided to use a different approach to the oak frame on this project. I ran across a framing method on a web site that sells frame wood...

This is a sun catcher I made as a gift last Christmas. I cut down an old window for a frame.

I made this box a little bit ago and am just getting around to posting it. It's a pretty simple box that is made of hard maple with purpleheart splines and handle. The top of the box is a piece of purple stained glass to compliment the purpleheart. The photos don't really show that glass very...

Hey everyone, first off I would like to say thanks for all the welcomes. I have never met a more friendly online community. I thought I would share my latest project. I'm fairly new at woodworking (started last summer) and have been working on this for about a year in total. I spent the...

I found this design online and liked it so much I made two for Christmas! After glue up and sanding and planing I didn't like how thin the boards were so I attached a cherry backing. Or as my grandmother likes to think, I did this on purpose so they can keep the pretty side up when not using and...

I asked some friends to make a housewarming gift for their new home. They asked me to make new frames for their two pieces of antique stained glass. The request was for an Art Deco look. I made a design with layered round-overs and rounded corners. Since they were to be hung in windows, I made...

I am always looking for unique stained glass designs to build, besides the basic flat 2D panel. So far, I have built a stained glass airplane with a kaleidoscope inside, and a 3D box shaped clock design from Latvia. I recently saw a very unique design done by a stained glass artisan in Maine...

Funny thing about working with stained glass after a long period of ignoring that hobby. You tend to bleed a lot. I found out a friend is leaving and fairly soon. So didn't have much time to build something intricate so had the idea of building a stained glass window for him. Initially the...

(I realize this project is mixed media, so if it does not comply with the "Wood Only" rule for posted projects I apologize) I wanted to make my niece a 3rd birthday present that she could -hopefully- keep for many years, rather than something too childish or girly. I had some RGB LED strip and...

I made this from some old hard pine flooring that I recycled and I decided to use it because it just had such character. It had a lot of holes and groves on the bottom side from bugs from many many many years ago (flooring was probably at least 60yrs old). I ended up putting a number of thick...

Red oak TV stand. Its been a few years since I made a fairly large piece of furniture. You can tell by this piece. I tried to hide most of the issues with partial success. :) I think it is still pretty though. Clear textured stained glass and oak trees carved into the front bottom panels. Gift...

A nearby small town has put out 100's of blue bird houses, in an effort to get the blue birds to return to that town. Maybe 50 years ago, there were so many blue birds, their high school mascot was the Blue Bird. Two ladies from that town, that I work on projects with regularly, are rehabbing...

I made these as Christmas gifts for three very special people. I saw this plan in one of my magazines and thought I'd give it a try (shopsmith I think). I was given a bounty of 3/4" T and G oak flooring that I thought would work great. While I started the first, I figured I was going to do a...
