I was commissioned to make a farmhouse dining table with breadboard ends from 2×6's a year ago. Now, the same person wanted a headboard to match it. I used the same methods to build the headboard as I used for the table. After doing some sanding I used biscuits and glued up the long boards. I...

I whipped these adirondack chairs together in one weekend. They are made of pine from Home Depot. I didn't use any plans, just what I remember from seeing my parents adirondack chairs up close. That being said, they were fairly easy to make. I primed and painted them so they would withstand the...

What is a billiards stimpmeter you ask? well let me tell you. Stimpmeters are normally used in golf to determine green speeds and slope, etc…. this one is designed for the game of pocket billiards and is used to determine cloth speed, the consistency of the cloth, the consistency of the weight...

This table is made from ash and pine. For finishing I use special wood oil that protect wood from sun and rain on the can that was wright. This project I made onli in two days so its great for weekend.

Following in the footsteps of deltxguy, here is a new project of mine that did not work very well (hey! its meant for playing with convex chess pieces! exactly as I designed it! yeah, right). Anyway, not falling into the trap of making a glued mitred frame, I fell into another trap. Don't know...

The design for this project was extracted from various generic family crests, whose design elements (in my opinion) were crude at best. I improved on the various elements, and created my own. I used a particularly beautiful piece of black walnut (~8" x 11") which was very dense. It took a year...

These are small size two-way speakers for the office built to be used with a compact amplifier with a Bluetooth receiver. I built the boxes and ordered other parts from online stores (drivers, tweeters, cables, plugs, crossover parts and the receiver). At the back there is a 5" passive...

This is a men's valet box for my Dad. I was going to subtle masculinity, ha. Most of my other projects have stark contrasts between wood species and this one I wanted to be much more subtle. In fact, it may be TOO subtle, but I like it nonetheless. I have to point out the vertical cherry stripes...

I found construction old sewing machine, a few hours of work and this is the result … I tried to go a little bit to vintage…not so bad i think….but :) wood is pine finished with a few coats of synthetic warnish..

I saw this design in a local furniture store. Whipped out my tape measure and took some basic measurements. The lamination was done with West System epoxy. I never attempted this before so was really pleased with the end result.

Arrowhead Boxes. I met a guy on one of our trips, and after a bit of chatting, he told me that he collected old arrow heads. After learning that I was into woodworking, he asked about getting a box to store his collection. The box in the first photo was the original, and then he wanted two...

This is what happens when you play with milk paint and a set of carving gouges. Carved basswood cabinet/bookshelf in middle earth style. Curved door panels were coopered. Mahogany back and Khya base. Slanting the tongue and groove back pieces was a lot of fun. The interior of the doors panels...
