  2. Bench with Storage

    This is the first indoor bench I ever made. I used 2×12's for most of the construction and the 1/4" plywood for the bottom. I pegged the corners with two dowels each to help prevent racking, the dowels are actually old sponge brush handles (use what you got!). The lid is a simple lift off style...
  3. Karl - Elf Tree Ornament

    Meet Karl…Karl has a drinking problem and unfortunately whenever he gets drunk he becomes beastly! The problem is that Karl knows the combination to the lock to Santa's secret stash, and he can often be a huge disruption to the other elves in the workshop. Santa has thought several times about...
  4. Kitchen Cabinet Tinting / Toning with Tinted Lacquer

    Here is a project where we tinted our cabinets a darker shade. The existing cabinets were the typical honey oak color (last picture), and had turned a bit yellow / orange in the sunlight. The color I wanted was more of a medium mission brown, so I applied two coats of pre-cat lacquer tinted...
  5. Woodworking Skill Share
    This may sound totally absurd, but I'll give it a go. I have cut out a fish shaped cutting board on my band saw. Think food safe products. The two curved cuts down the center of the fish (I left them open to show better), I would like to have a colored stripe. I cut a very thin piece of...

    I have an entertainment center project commission that I am having trouble staining. The customer is not happy with examples of how A-C pine plywood takes a stain due to the large contrast in lights to darks. Obvious advice like not having made it out of plywood or at least not spiral cut...

    Actually, it will be my first time to spray lacquer except from a rattle can. So here is the background: I am refinishing some MCM (Broyhill Brasilia) dining room chairs for my wife. I found that lacquer thinner stripped the finish pretty well. Note that DNA also dissolved the finish but not...

    This IS my first rodeo A little arts and crafts on a Sunday afternoon. I've been wanting to try my hand at dyeing and tinting for a while so in typical New California Workshop style I jumped right in. In this round I'm using TransTint dyes from Woodcraft mixed in water. You can see my...

    Cutting Sides & Square Tenons I actually broke down and sharpened the blade on one of my crappy (not the crappiest, next one up) little block planes. Made some shavings. Not exactly the right tool for the job and the blade wasn't dull anymore, just not as sharp as it needed to be. Resorted to a...

    Introduction This series of posts documents the design and construction of a storage cabinet I built to hold my wife's sewing machine and related accessories and supplies. It's made of 3/4" maple plywood with solid maple trim. Each door is a plywood slab with two inlaid metal tiles, maple 'X'...

    I want to add a little color to my kitchen cabinets without refinishing them. They are nutmeg oil based stain on oak, which is a medium orange-brown color. My target color is a touch darker to match the Rodda #19 stain the rest of our decor (one shade darker on the rodda chart). The cabinets...

    Okay. I just had our 90 year old oak floors redone in our home. I was going to do them myself, but i destroy with band sanders. Anyways, i really wanted a white based finish. Or a non-yellow finish. I went through all sorts of options including whitewashing, pickling, white stains and so forth...

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I have a 1950's Craftsman table saw that was given to me by my future wifes family. It has been sitting in a shed for the past 20 years or so. The last person to own it had painted it with house paint. I have been slowly scraping it down to bare metal and am...
