  1. Keepsake Box

    Scrap walnut sides and flame birch top.
  2. My convertible "Nursing Stool"

    Let's get this detail out of the way: A nursing stool is a dedicated footstool for use by a breastfeeding mom. It goes under the feet, pushes the knees up and shifts the babe into place. Less back, shoulder and arm stress for the mom. You could use a stack of books, yeah, but people like these...
  3. Tambour Lid Box

    I got the inspiration for this box by one that Jim Sellers posted, the link to his project is below. Thanks Jim! http://widgets.lumberjocks.com/project/97198.jpg[/img][/url[/URL]] I used Morado, also know as Pau Ferro, for the box and Maple for the tambours. My first time using a router with...
  4. Flight trays

    Made up some whisky flight trays to sell for Christmas at a local artisan decor shop. It's wonderful to see how much the figure comes out from a piece with a light swipe of oil before the finish coats. These were about 18" long and 5" wide. Made the depressions for the glasses with my CNC...
  5. Solid Oak & Maple Serving Tray

    I have been wanting to make a Serving Tray for a while now but was having a hard time deciding on what I wanted it to look like, and with Mother's Day coming up I decided to make it after completing my research. I really wanted to make a nice serving tray instead of slapping a couple of boards...
  6. Indoor/Outdoor bench

    Laminated quarter-sawn white oak with Lyptus inlays and sealed with General Finishes - Exterior 450. The wood was an anniversary gift (my kind of gift!) and my wife wanted an outdoor bench - something heavy so it could sit in the front yard and not be easy for someone to pick up and run away...
  7. Burnt Picture Frame

    This picture frame holds a 8×5in picture. I had limited materials so I made the back stay in with a nail that i hit in half way then bent it in as you can see. I used a torch to crisp the out side of the frame.
  8. DVD Holder

    I'm posting this for the benefit of LJ members who may want to copy the design - the project specifications are available to anyone interested. The DVD Holder is primarily Hard Maple, with Sapele accent strips (centered along the exposed edge). 67"h x 12.5"w and 7" deep. The bottom (10.5"d)...
  9. Bottle Tesselation End Grain Cutting Board

    Some new end grain cutting boards for wedding gifts. I wanted to make something different and unique, and after hours of searching online, I think I can say these are one of a kind, and maybe the first of their kind. The "bottles" are walnut and cherry, bordered by maple. Boards are about 12"...
  10. Step Stool

    Here is a step stool I made for my son. I found a picture of a similar one online and said to myself "I can make that!" It is made from Quarter Sawn White Oak. The finish is a wipe on poly gel that I purchased from Rockler. I made a template for the sides and used my router to cut the matching...

    I have a new dish carving bit (1/2" shank, 1" diameter, 5/8" cutting length and NO bearing). I have only ever done pattern routing using a bearing. I was under the impression that I would use this bit in conjunction with a bushing, but I cannot find a bushing with an inside diameter large enough...
  12. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi all, I have cut out a set of rear chair legs/backs. (the tall parts on the right are what I'm referring to) I used a template and a top bearing template bit in my router table to trim to them to size and get them all symmetrical. It turned out fairly well, except there are a few areas that I...
  13. Woodworking Skill Share
    I'm trying to route a 6" diameter circle in the middle of a 1" thick piece of cherry, using a template and my router table. I'm using a fairly new Freud bit which is either a flush trim bit or a pattern bit, i.e. has a bearing at top and bottom, and I'm using the top bearing. I used a 6" hole...

    An introduction Since I already blog at my own domain I did not want to duplicate all of that content here at LumberJocks each time that I made a post. So, I asked Martin if it was appropriate for me to have blog entries here at LumberJocks that link to my own blog. The answer was a...

    Grandaughter's Bed Last week I posted this project. At that time I promised a blog-Here it is http://lumberjocks.com/projects/25569 I'm never quite sure how far to take something like this. There are so many skill levels here on LJs. Your input is always welcome. If I leave out a step that's...

    Getting started So here's the plan. I watched the Wall Hung Console episode of the New Yankee Workshop and my wife really liked the table. She thinks it would look great in the front hall. I thought it would be a good use of the walnut lumber my in-laws gave me, so now I'm finally getting...

    My first cut ever! My first cut ever with a router! Took me 3 hours to figure out how to put everything together and do all the adjustments, practice the cut with the tool powered off, overcome the heebie-jeebies, then … do it! I'm very pleased with the result (template not nicked, clean cut...

    I do a lot of template routing. I use template bits with a guide bearing when I want a through cut, and template guides on my router base when I do not want a through cut. Now, I have some detailed mdf templates that I want to use to route 1/8" wide by 1/8" deep patterns into solid wood. I...
