Another Judy Gale Roberts pattern and had a opportunity to visit her gallery last week, one word Awsome. Just finished this one tonight and I had a real hard time with the wood color. I avoid doing any staining on any of my projects and use just the wood colors. I had a very hard time finding...

It all starts off with an Idea and a dream. Since the Steam punk was so successful why not try one that folds up and is portable. The design begins in Inventor a 3D modeling program, then transformed into a working model. I will soon upload a timelaspe of the drone being assembled on you tube...

This is another dragon I had posted before on my old page, but I wanted to put it on my new page. This was my second attempt at making a dragon and I paid a lot more attention to texture. I used a small burr to make each scale and used different kinds of wood to achieve more colors in the...

This table was originally made back in 1979 from sraps of teak and afrormosia purchased from a boat yard in North Carolina. Back then I did not know that if you glued the chess board squares down that they would crack. So in 2009 I decided to redo the checkerboard top and refinish the table...

Inspiration for this project came from Matt Nedeljko's beautiful Bouquet of Flowers Marquetry Box that he made for his wife, Sherri. See Matt's writeup for more on the origin of this design. Since I did not have the original pattern, I used one of Matt's photos of his project, along with Adobe...

Experimented with automotive finish on MDF after finding these plans from an early edition of a popular publication bedroom set. Created teak accents as I wanted to tryout my shapers router bit adapter. The cabinet pictures were taken with a throwaway camera and not only are the pictures...

Another task for my step-daughter. There was hardly a right-angle to be found in the kitchen so this was an interesting task. She and her husband opted for a range of free-standing cupboards as this suited their C18th cottage far better that the built-in look. The second picture above shows...

My dad was wanting to cut down a walnut tree that was on the edge of a field and offered me the stump. The rest he was using for firewood. There wasn't anything big enough for lumber. When I saw one of the crotches of a branch I asked to have that as well. This was one half of the crotch and...

I have a love/hate relationship with pigs. I grew up on a farm, and quickly decided that I was not meant to be a pig farmer. I sold my hogs at the market in St Joe, MO, and reinvested my money in 2 heifers. It was the cattle business for me. I was about 12 at the time. Alas, that didn't work...
