  1. Low Budget Dowel Maker

    This is definitely not the fanciest project that will be posted today but could probably save you the most money. I have been searching around for a while and experimenting with several diy dowel makers. Though I really like the concept of drilling holes with a step drill bit and cutting the...
  2. Utility Room Cabinets

    These are Utility Room Cabinets that I was hired to do back before Christmas. Because of the holidays, it made it very difficult to get done in a timely manner. However, as of today I am done! I would be proud to have such a cabinet in my utility room!!! It is all oak and oak veneer ply. I...
  3. Washer and Dryer Platform

    After seeing a few other takes on this project on LJs, I started sketching up plans for my own. By sketching up, I mean with a T-square, triangles and a drafting board. I know how to do that. SketchUp just leaves me frustrated and taking 4 times as long. It's 30" by 60" and 18" high. I made it...
  4. Portable Washers Game

    As you can see, I made this a little while ago (dings on the rim). I wanted to give my girlfriend something random for her birthday and came up with this. It has gotten a lot of use and has stood up to the beatings. If anyone decides to make one like this, I suggest using the metal washers...
  5. Washer Dryer Pedestal/Stand

    This washer/dryer pedestal is 30" x 60" and has drawers for holding dirty clothes until laundry day. Now the dogs cannot help themselves to dirty socks for a game of tug-o-war! :-D
  6. W&D Pedestals

    I repaired the old washer & dryer one too many times, and it was time for an upgrade. And of course I wasn't going to waste the green backs on those matching pedestals. Instead of just making a torsion box for them to sit on. I managed to make them so that each would have a deep drawer. No...
  7. Washer Dryer Stand - with built in detergent dispenser

    I filmed the build on my YouTube Channel. Please check it out! Typical washer and dryers are lower to the ground. You can buy stands for each unit for around $150-250. I decided to build mine and incorporate stylish hardware, larger drawers, classy hutch, and a special detergent feature. The...
  8. Washer/Dryer Cabinet with Litter Box Built-in

    Our washer and dryer stand in the back entryway, which is also our living room and adjoins our kitchen. They were very awkward and didn't fit with the house since we've done so much renovation. Originally I had wanted to build a mud room but I just couldn't make it fit with enough space...
  9. happy wife, happy life

    My wife was tired of stuff falling behind the washer and dryer machine (because we all know that any flat surface is fair game to set stuff) so constructed this topper out of higher grade shop plywood. I'm usually apposed to paint but it worked on this project. Made sure to add a few hearts so...
  10. Washer Puzzles

    Over the last couple months I've been saving all my small scraps in hopes of making a bunch of washer puzzles. Well, I finally got around to it this weekend thanks to the help of my brother. We finished a total of twelve this weekend, but we still have ten or more to go, plus there's a whole...
  11. Washer & Dryer Pedestals

    I made a set of these as a Christmas gift for my brother and sister in-law. While they didn't need to be fancy, they needed to be strong to support the newer high efficiency wash machines. Therefore I milled some 2×4s to all be flat, straight and uniform (so they could be worked with) and went...
  12. Beer bottle opener bowling pin

    Anyone like to go bowling ?? Here is a design made from maple and Paduk for the stripes. A previous comment said to use a washer instead. At .14 cents each for the washer much cheaper than buying the retail versions over 5.00. I had to modify the design for the opener slightly. Had to drill...
  13. Focus on the Workspace
    So I have been planning out my post retirement dream shop for a while now and I am at the phase where certain details are making enough sense to become a plan rather than just a dream. I have been gathering lots of drawings, materials costs, permit requirements, etc. and sharing them with my...

    Solving the Washer Puzzle Here's my attempt at showing the solution to the washer puzzles I make. It turned out to be a little harder than I thought. Describing this with just pictures probably isn't the best way to go, but I've included a link at the bottom that may explain it better. To...

    Shop Made Trammel Points/Compass Create this shop tool in just a couple hours. Can be used as trammel points or throw a pencil in the hole and make it a compass. Create curves, circles, measurements, make it a story stick. The possibilities are endless.
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I was just reading this American Woodworker blog. I'm not having any of these issues with my ancient Craftsman contractor saw, but I am wondering if using a stabilizer to replace the stamped metal arbor washer on one side of the blade would be a good idea? Just one would not move the blade...
  18. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Hi all, I'm going to display and sell some of my woodworking at a fair and need to make a few tables. I am looking for plans or ideas on building a portable display tables. The coffee grinders that i will be selling are 5" square so the tables need to be about 24" wide.I would appreciate any...
