Just to prove that I haven't been sitting on my hands, here's a box I made out of re-purposed lumber. I built a modular desk for an interior designer and didn't use the corner support(before that it was shelving). I showed up before it could be tossed and took it back to the shop. This is...

Here is another piece in the Footed Vessel Series (formerly known as Three Legged Dog Series). I recently found a nice piece of freshly cut hackberry. It isn't the flashiest wood but it is a pleasure to cut when green. I processed the wood into 9 blanks and this is the first I've turned from it...

I've had a lot of shop time recently and decided to make a toolbox for my grandson and a kumiko box for my granddaughter. Like most little boys my grandson is fascinated with tools and his current inventory, while plastic, still need a good place to be stored. Right??? The box is cherry, the...

This is my first try at one of these. I was give a bucket of horse shoes a few years ago and welded some together for coat hooks but this one said it wanted to be a door knocker…. so it is.. I just welded a rod across the opening for the pivot and added some brass knocking pieces and a cherry...

I just finished my first bandsaw box. It is made from a maple log that I was going to use for a bowl blank but had a real bad spot so I made this instead. The pulls are walnut. After origonally cutting it out, I went back and modified the outer edge. I finished it with a sealer coat of...

I just finished this carver's bench today. It's pretty simple having designed it myself from some pictures I was able to see on the web. It is made with southern yellow pine that I had remaining from a workbench that I built a few years back and can be seen in my projects section. There is a...

This is a Swiss watchmaker's lathe (Note: Not a jeweler's lathe) from about 1880. The lathe itself still needs a little cleaning up as the compound is all gummed up with dirt and grease. I do not intend to polish the thing within an inch of it's life, but will clean the dirt and light surface...

We have a rather small kitchen with storage that just didn't quite meet my wifes needs. After some diliberation on what she wanted, an arguement with the kitchen as to why it couldn't expand on it's own and make more room, this is what I came up with. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone but I had...

Finally done, my CD Storage Cabinet, made out of pine that I stained with the famous homemade vinegar and steel wool recipe. It was fun to build from scratch without any plan. Thanks for looking and I hope you'll like it. Find more photos and all construction details from this page of my blog...

I'm calling this one "Living on the Edge". These two forest buddies love hanging out on the edge of things. There is not nearly the competition for lifes needs and they enjoy such a wonderful view! I like thinking that I am hanging out on a ledge sharing a moment with these forest fellows. This...

This project can actually qualify as a Lathe and a General Shop tool I suppose. Each month the woodturning club that I joined does a Bring Back Raffle. Where someone brings in a project that is raffled off and the next month the winner has to bring in the next month's raffle. Well last month I...

This is the dart board cabinet I built for my electronic dart board. The Buffalo Sabres logo was hand carved using a Dremel tool with the router attachment.

Have always collected clocks and like to make simple ones. Tried my hand with lucite but it is not as forgiving as wood! The Nativity music box has rotating star background.

I wanted to get the dog up off of the concrete floor. She was laying on a blanket but it was still probably cold. This bed is 36in X 24in X 3in off the floor. Built around the washable pad I bought from the pet store. No finish applied. It will be inside and I like the lighter look to...
