  1. Window Top Shadow Box Table

    I see so very much on line about repurposing windows, doors and virtually everything else, I just thought I'd give it a try like this. The table base is 3/4" Birch plywood. The window is indeed an old one, but I repainted it with a crackle finish and to contrast with the woodgrain stained...
  2. Mimosa platter

    One of the members in the wood turning club I'm a member of brought in a bunch of wood to give away and I was able to get a large log of Mimosa. I have never turned any of it before. I cut a chunk off and turned this platter that measures 9" x 2". It was a pleasure to turn but definitely must...
  3. Barrister's Bookcase

    Here is my official first piece of scratch built furniture, if you do not count my woodworking workbench. I pretty much followed the article I found in Issue #21 Feb 1988 of WOOD Magazine pp.66-71, though I strayed online and looked at the 2003 version in issue 149. I based the top and base on...
  4. Delmar Caboose Restoration #4

    I've had a few comments and questions about the restoration of the City of Delmar DE / MD Train Caboose. One of the local businessmen who has a bar across the street from the caboose got a restoration committee going to spearhead some work in the city of Delmar. The city was an old railroad...
  5. Door Window Frame

    The door is 16+ years old and the plastic moulding that holds the pane of "glass" in the door gave up the ghost. Time to put on my DIY cap and make my own moulding. I carefully measured the thickness of the door, subtracted out the thickness of the glass and divided by 2. That was how deep the...
  6. Kinda Woodworking: Window Frame for A/C installation

    I took on the task of installing a window unit air conditioner in a casement window at my church. The electrical outlet was previously run, so now the unit could go in. Because it was a casement window, I didn't want to just put in a big old plywood panel and block off the view of the outside...
  7. Cornice Boards

    Alder cornice board approximately 18 ft long. Alder with walnut accents
  8. Triangular window

    I was requested to make a triangular window for the attic. A bit odd shape/position for the opening part is due to a support beam of the roof. I selected a few 2×8 pine boards that had the most straight grain and very little knots (virtually no knots in the result). As I had neved made a window...
  9. Recycled coffee and end table set.

    Another history lesson, lol These came from the clients grandfathers home and had been stored away for some time waiting to have something done with them. The coffee table has a layer or plexiglass under it to prevent a child from breaking the glass from the bottom. All three will have...
  10. Craftsman Window Trim

    Here is the craftsman trim I installed in our kitchen. I kiln dried and milled the rift sawn white oak for this project, and it is always a pleasure to have straight, square stock. The pediment features a radiused fillet, and a two-piece chamfered cap. There are four different stock...
  11. Walnut Cabinets

    Between my freshmen and sophomore college years, I decided to try my luck at cabinetry. I spent hours making test test cuts for fluted panels, arcs, blocking, edge bands, and mitered drawer panels before cutting into the walnut final product. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's now...
  12. Memory Window - Christmas Gift

    This window came from the house where my wife grew up, which is the house in the picture. She salvaged this window and three more when new windows were installed about a year ago. The house is up for sale now, and I thought this would be a good way to remember it as it was in the days when my...

  14. Cherry window trim

    Finally got the time to get a couple of windows done… this is the final version of the prototype I did two years ago, posted here Craftsman style molding, done in cherry… as noted in my last post, I'll be doing just wipe-on poly, not painting them. Hence the nice wood used! Catching up on...
  15. Bowl

    Walnut
  16. Window Frame

    We had a very boring looking window above our front door. I had some nice poplar trim leftover from another project. I used 2 coats of red mahogany gel stain. It doesn't look like poplar anymore.
  17. Stained Plantation Shutters

    For the better part of a year, I have been building plantation shutters for my house. I do one room at a time before I get bored with making them and start some other project. These are a few of from the last room that I completed. They are made from bass wood and stained which I think looks...
  18. Built-ins with window seat (how to fix a leaky window)

    When we bought this house 20 years ago I replaced the windows with inexpensive vinyl ones. Eventually, the miters in the vinyl frames came unglued and would leak if the rain hit them the right way. We decided to replace the window (6' wide by 3' high) with an Andersen slider. When we pulled...
  19. Woodworking Skill Share
    I am working on a Cherry Display Case. The case is mostly done now and I am thinking about finishing. My goal is to plane all of the surfaces with a smoothing plane and touch up with a card scraper. I hope not to sand at all. I like the look that a plane leaves on the wood and don't want to mess...
  20. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I have a dovetail saw that I am restoring/repairing. It is an old one with open tote about 9 inches long. It cust well, but the handle is damaged and some "well-meaning" former owner, replaced the original screws and nuts with regular old stove bolts and acorn nuts. it just doesn't look...
