  2. Walnut Poker Table

    I was able to obtain some air dried walnut for this table. For the finish I put 2 coats of teak oil rubbed in, and then 6 coats of the wipe-on polyurethane. For the final coat, I wet rubbed with 0000 steel wool and some lemon oil. It turned out very smooth. The teak oil really brought out...
  3. Bench fit for a Cabin

    Well, it's going somewhere but it's not going anywhere…. My SIL asked me to make a bench for my BIL; stating that he has always wanted one for their mountain cabin in New Mexico. She knew I dabbled in woodworking and trusted me enough to come up with something after showing me a couple ideas...
  4. Take the neck ache out of your day with these beautiful Laptop Risers!

    I have noticed that many people are having neck problems, ie. stiffness and soreness, and terrible posture using laptops. The screen is set too low and if lifted up the keyboard is way too high. This usually works out okay for temporary periods of time but some people actually work on their...

  6. Flat bowl from Dunnage

    I was in the shop yesterday trying to figure out how to fit 1000 square feet of shop equipment into a 750 square foot shop. I needed a brain break and decided to relax and play around on the lathe. I have a bunch of bowl blanks I made for the Christmas show season but didn't get turned, so I...

  10. Io- kinetic Sculpture using magnetic suspension

    This is Io. It is my most recent kinetic sculpture using magnetic suspension. There is a two inch magnetic gap between the two forms inside the frame ( the bottom piece is literally floating).... Io is named after the innermost of the four Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter. The four arms...
  11. Spinning Wheel

    This was my first attempt at a spinning wheel. A friend brought me a pile of wood that used to be a spinning wheel and asked if I could "fix" it. I've always wanted to build one so I took on the project as a learning experience. I had to fabricate the wheel, hub, and one back leg as the original...
  12. Candle Holder

    I made this candle holder as a Christmas present for my mother. I don't know exactly what kind of wood it is, it was a scrap at the workshop at my school. It's a really heavy, hard, and dense wood, though. Overall the candle holder is about a foot long and about four inches wide. It doesn't...

  14. U of Oregon and Oregon State Stools

    These stools are based on a design that others have posted. I really liked the shape and size and though these would make good gifts. They are, as you can see, Oregon College themed for people who are fans of each of the schools. These also gave me an excuse to try the oho carbon fiber airbrush...
  15. One Log Live Edge Bookshelf

    This project started out as a trip to my local brush pile to drop off a load of branches. I found several oak logs there and thought they deserved a better life than to rot away at the dump! I am fairly certain that this lumber is oak, but am not sure what variety. The drastic difference in...
  16. Prestige Design: Pallet Bed Design (built with only pallet wood)

    Prestige Designs: I had a new client as me if i design beds… he wanted it queen size, contemporary/modern, and sets the tone when someone steps in the room. I told him "no problem give me a week." So Here it is… and 8'6" x 7' Pallet Bed Frame. Sanded, Oiled, and glossed… Once i build it i do...
  17. Lucio's Wagon

    This is the wagon that I made for my son, Lucio's, second birthday. The chassis assembly was an item we used to sell at Woodcraft. I used bloodwood for the box sides and teak for the box bottom. The side rails are made of narra. I used my CarveWright to carve his name and year on the back...
  18. Waste not, Waste GOT

    Old broken rocking chair + piece of maple from cabinet shop dumpster + piece of leftover ½ inch ply + a little sweat = waste basket. I've had these oak rockers at my house for over 10 years; they've been outside the whole time, stripped down and treated a couple different times. Well the...
  19. Drill Press Mortising Fence

    Here's a drill press mortising fence I made by screwing 1/2" plywood scraps to a blank a bit thicker than the stock to be mortised. When clamped to the drill press table I can slide the stock as needed and the fence keeps it in line and the hold-downs prevent it from lifting. When set, it's fast...
  20. Scale of Justice

    This project was quite a challenge to me. After I heard about the winter 2010 project contest, I really did some deep thinking about what Yin and Yang meant to me. I thought of a US Flag, cutting boards, boxes, crosses and about 476 other things, and then it came to me… equality. It would...
