Title says it all.. After seeing Mark Spagnuolo's (version of Glenn Huey's) magazine rack, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to rip off his design. Soft Maple, some figured walnut and zinc plated steel rods (couldn't find stainless steel). Finish was natural flavored watco danish oil...

This is my first real project using dovetail joinery. I've been practicing on other test pieces until I worked up the confidence to try this one. I'm a fan of James Krenov, and got some inspiration from him with this cabinet. Although Krenov is the master. It was a lot of fun to make and will...

Bentwood Walnut Dining Table-Here is a table (or could be a desk I guess) that I have made in the past. I just never had it photographed or posted it.The table is made from walnut with purple heart breadboard ends. The base was created by bending the wood in a very large form using bending...

And so the story begins… roughly 8 1/2 months ago I found out my wife was pregnant and I took that as an opportunity to go crazy and build all of the nursery furniture including a rocking chair that is still in the works. I searched high and low for a design that I liked enough to spend the time...

This is Steve Good's Pattern. I put a few different touches on it though. It is made of 1/4 inch oak and African Padauk. I used a white spray paint on the outside to give it an old whitewash look. I left the inside natural oak with no stain. I did stain the roof, base, and pews. My pulpit is...

These stools are based on a design that others have posted. I really liked the shape and size and though these would make good gifts. They are, as you can see, Oregon College themed for people who are fans of each of the schools. These also gave me an excuse to try the oho carbon fiber airbrush...

In the back of my mind I've always wanted a nice small wood stepladder. Get up there and show the spider webs who's boss - in style. Good ones are almost impossible to find nowadays (creak, creak) and-and-and- who am I kidding? D'uh, I'm a woodworker no? So, scrounging around in my old papers...

Got the idea for building a router jig to produce the "wave" pattern on panels from a recent woodworking magazine. Pretty cool little jig, and I ended up using a bowl bottom bit to produce wave-like crests on the panel. Once I had the panel, I decided to make it into a keepsake box with a...

This is a sliding-top box I made a couple of years ago - mostly as a learning exercise for some of my hand-tool skills. Everything here was done with hand tools - from the milling of the stock, to dovetailing, cutting grooves, and surfacing the components. Some of the dovetails are a bit rough...
