  1. Baseball Bed | Scoreboard Headboard

    This is a Baseball theme bed I built in September 2017. It is a Baseball Bed that I build a lot of the time with a few changes. Like most of the baseball beds we build, it is characterized by the scoreboard headboard which is totally customized by the customer. This customization includes...
  2. Norms Router Table -- Modified

    I modified Norm Abram's (of the New Yankee Workshop) router table design. It's a few inches less in depth and width. I put mine on wheels. I did not build Norm's top or fence-I bought those from Woodpeckers. I used a different switch and mounted it on the side, rather than the front. I also did...
  3. Baseball Bed (New Style) | Custom

    This is a little different twist on my standard baseball bed. Normally I build them with a scoreboard as the headboard. For this one I bought a Yankees graphic and built a semicircle panel for the headboard. The foot board was a little smaller and the side rails were taller. I really like...
  4. Yankee Murphy Bed | Custom

    This is a Murphy bed that was ordered by a customer to commemorate the old Yankee stadium. It was completed on October 1, 2008. Notice the façade shown at the top when the bed is open. It is built to resemble five lockers. The middle three are non-working and attached to the bed. They...
  5. Built-in bookshelves

    Covering a whole wall. I put outlets and a heating duct in the base. The adjustable (unpainted in the pictures) shelves are on recessed track but they don't actually adjust very well because they are (slightly) different widths for the top and the bottom. Oops. Part of the purpose was to cover...
  6. Vintage Locker Murphy bed | Custom

    Normally I post my project in order as they were built. Right now I'm running a little behind, but I wanted to skip to this one I just built. It is a form of my Locker murphy bed Yankee's edition. This customer wanted something a little more vintage looking. Their Yankee decor wasn't the new...
  7. green wood, adze, ax and knife

    Here are some carving projects I've been working on over the last little while. They're all from white birch except the large bowl, which is sugar maple. The first photo is of a shrink box - I took a whole birch log, turned it round on my springpole lathe (it was crazy the way that large piece...

  9. Yankees Baseball Bed | Custom

    This is a little different spin on my normal baseball bed. I added both drawers and trundle under it. We also found a Yankee decal and put it on the foot board. I also built a matching dresser, mirrorhttp://www.wwbeds.com/baseball-bed and nightstand. For the Baseball drawer pulls we took...
  10. Murphy Bed | Sports Locker Yankee| Custom

    Here is a bed that I built in June 2015. It is a murphy bed in Yankee locker theme. It is built in oak wood with a darker red stain. I was matching the color of the Hornsby bats by Louisville slugger. More on the Yankee Locker Bed. For more building pictures see my Current Projects page...
  11. Yankees Baseball Daybed | Custom

    This is a modification of my Yankees baseball bed. The customer wanted a daybed version of it with a trundle and drawers. It was completed in September 2012. I used the large headboard that I normally build for the Baseball Loft bed and changed up the end panels. I originally use two foot...

  13. Woodworking Skill Share
    I have a plan for Norm's Adirondack Chair and all the drawings are shown on a grid. The plan says the grid layout is on 1" squares, but I don't really have a way to blow this up on my copy machine. Unless I find someone with an architectural plotter, I can't make copies. The plan shows the...

    New Life for a Yankee I probably have spent more than I should at a recent tool sale. However, I could claim that I did manage to have a great find. As I was leaving, I noticed a pile of braces. Well, I already have a few and I also was interested in finding the missing jaws for my Yankee...
  18. Hand Tools
    Save the Yankee. I have just gotten a 2101A Yankee drill brace. The handle needs to be replaced. The spring which holds the jaws is bent and the jaws are missing. Not a good situation. It went from a great find to …..? ($20.00 for 10 old braces). Oh well. I can replace the handle. What...

  20. Focus on the Workspace
    I keep looking at all these plastic easter eggs that are all on sale now. It seems like such cheap little plastic containers could be handy as hell in the shop for SOMETHING, but I can't think of anything clever. Any ideas?
