  1. Sofa computer table

    Because of my bad back, I have hard time sitting on chair. Made a small table which is going to be used exclusively for sofa. Table top and legs are sculptured. I didn't use template so the table is not symmetrical. Top is about 28" high, so it's best if used while sitting on sofa. I remember...
  2. Gun Bed | Custom

    The best protection form people stealing you stuff is for the thief not to know it is there in the first place. This bed did just that. Keep in mind, I don't tell city/state of this customer. It is the customer's design. The headboard lid is removable and exposes a couple trays for hand...
  3. Graduation knife

    This was made for a friend graduation from Marine boot camp. The scales are bocote and the blade is from Woodcraft. The kitchen table was my shop for this project since we were living in an apartment at the time.
  4. Maple and Black Walnut Bowl

    Well I know not another bowl lol but this is the first where I actually took pictures during the process. It is made of Maple with a Black Walnut rim actually just 2 pieces of different thickness i thought would compliment each other. I learned another valuable tool here "PATIENCE". I had a...
  5. Rocking Pizza Cutter

    This was a belated Christmas gift to the wife, completed last month, based on WoodRiver's 16" Rocking Pizza Cutter Kit, which consists of the 16" blade and four sets of Allen keyed bolts and nuts. I used seasoned cherry board I bought locally several years ago. I love working with cherry-the...
  6. Kitchen Shelving

    Wall mounted shelving with plate racks that drain over the sink. I can't recommend drainable plate racks enough, every kitchen should have them. Made from macrocarpa cypress.
  7. WoodRiver Skinner Knife

    This was a cool little knife to make but it was difficult to sheathe. The pattern that came with the knife was off so my first set of scales was lost. This was a little more difficult than their others as the blade and lanyard end both needed to be shaped before adhearing to the knife. The...
  8. Paddle

    The paddle came pre-made the coin enset was 1.5" so I turned it into a 2 "off center from the factory". Engraved the Brass.

  10. Simple Joint Box + Box Joint Jig

    Yesterday I finished my first Jig, ( Box Joint Jig) (see attached pictures) still need a couple of minor tune ups that I didn't realized untill I started cutting the joint fingers of my first box ever. I did use some scrap of red oak that was on my garage for a couple of years, it measure 5 1/2"...
  11. Valentine's Ring Box with Purleheart Ring

    A little Valentine's ring box made from hand with Birdseye maple and Walnut. All pieces were cut and milled by hand using my Veritas saws and Woodriver 5 1/2 plane. The dovetails are handcut, again with Veritas saw, and are my first ones to be in a project. I used the wood hinge method from...
  12. Dovetail Saw

    The starting point for this saw was a cheap Two Cherries saw. Then handle I made is from some very old (decades most likely) Cherry. Resources I used: - Paul Sellers blog post about the Two Cherries dovetail saw. - Blackburn tools handle template What I did: 1) Use two hammers to reduce the...
  13. Rob Cosman Inspired Wood Hinged Box

    Here is a Christmas keepsake box I made based on the online workshop hosted by Rob Cosman. Turned out really well for my first "precision" project. I was able to make almost everything by hand mostly utilizing my shooting board and Wood River 5 1/2, however I did use my router to make the...
  14. Hand Tools
    Hey all, I'm fairly new to the site, and very new to woodworking. I have a very limited number of tools and thought that buying a WoodRiver No 5 plane would get me the most for my money. It arrived today and I noticed that there is a really small dent and chip in the top left corner (left if...
  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I am trying to find a decent dovetail jig for around $50-$75. I don't need anything fancy and only plan on using it for hobby purposes. I don't foresee needing anything larger than a 12 incher for what it do currently. I am looking at the WoodRiver Half-Blind Dovetail Jig. Anyone have any...
  16. Woodworking Skill Share
    I learn visually, so I have a hard time looking at manuals and visually layouts. I bought a Woodriver half blind dovetail jig a while back, and was wondering if anyone could explain it on almost a simpleton's level. Or find a video, cause I can't. I thought I'd followed the setup instructions...
  17. Hand Tools
    I am wanting to get deeper into the woodworker hobby, and I am at the point where I need hand planes. I have narrowed down my options to the following: (1) I could get a Lie Neilson #62 set with 3 blades for $500 and use it for chipping and in place of a #4 and #6 for now until I can afford...
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Under duress (I need them to continue working) I ran to my local Woodcraft today and picked up their Woodriver 16 pc forstner bit set. When I got them home I realized that nowhere on the box did it say whether these were High Speed Steel or High Carbon Steel. (also, the Sales guy said he'd had...
  19. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I got an email form Woodcraft with 40% off Woodriver router bits through tomorow. I just searched and found reviews for other WoodRiver products. They all seem to be good quality with happy owners. What is the concensus on their routetr bits?
