Not a whole lot on this one.  I'm building a small melamine kitchen for my sales rep at the lumber store. Along with the cabinets I'm going to mak...

This was something I built for one of my buddies.   It was built for, and installed in the offices of a company that races Porsche's.  (Hence the r...

Anybody want to come help me cut up these sheets? They're 83 1/2 x 110 That is a 4 x 8 on top for comparison. [20240529_080545.jpg]

Ok. Here is the primary reason I'm building these side tables. Plans were to keep the tables stupid-simple to avoid any drama. I violated my goal ...

[IMG_9043.jpeg] Best laid plans..... Anyhoo, busy weekend with car work so I couldn't get as far as intended (finish applied), but wait, there's m...

 The outer ring is made up of 4 blanks. The first one is shown below. [image.png]   The blank is a rectangle in cross section with a trough cut do...

 I had put steps on each side of the outer ring blanks. These steps were to be used to have a reference surface parallel to the trough axis. But af...

  This last step is pretty straightforward – especially compared to the previous steps. I just need to get a cylinder that looks good.    First I d...

I just had a few steps to get the panel ready for glue-up.    Finishing the border: [20240413-IMG_9024.jpg] [20240413-IMG_9031.jpg] Applying the ...

After 4.5 hrs in the press, this is what greeted me when I pulled-out the panel.  At first I thought the ripples were the result of too much glue, ...

The panel is done, but since it is a piece of another project, the final panel photos are a bit anti-climactic.   The panel received a couple coats...

 When I “finished” the project two months ago, I noticed that the panel face was very slightly concave. Here, I’ve placed a 36” long straight edge ...

 I installed the shelf in my daughter’s house last week. I knew I had measured, and re-measured the wall and electrical panel the last time I was t...

When I left off, I had the case members cut, box joints cut and the case dry fit.  Next up was the plywood back.  I cut it the first piece to lengt...

Seems like no matter when I start a project it never gets done before it has to...  Progress has been slow the past couple weeks.  One weekend we h...

I got the bulk of the work finished up this weekend.  I started with a dry fit of the case and then used it to cut the door members to length.  The...

Here are some progress photos on some miscellaneous bits. I did do a test with edge-to-edge magnets.  They did pretty well self-aligning, and they...

For the drawer pull, I decided on a simple edge-mounted design.  I wanted it to be black to match the legs, and to avoid another round of ebonizing...

After about 2-1/2 months, the cabinet is finished and ready for use.   Media cabinet project summary: • Baltic birch plywood with Izombe veneer an...

OK after making template to use for inserting the She-Oak into the table top I removed the clamps and continued. [IMG_3153.JPG] I used a stand off...

Not that it really matters, the hopelessly optimistic completion date of mid October for the windows has been and gone, and there's still a way to ...

Back onto the windows at last, got nothing done in December, I am now looking at Easter as a deadline to have them ready to be fitted. From the ou...
