Projects

The projects listed are in order of their completion.   One of these days I'll get together info on my shop and dust collection system I put together.  For now, just pictures.

   
Project Details Project Description Final Pics
Arched Mirror My first real project.  My Dad gave me some 1.5" x 8" x 15' white oak handrails from his old office.  I milled them down and created this.
Bathroom Cabinet Using the rest of the oak, I thought I'd make my parents this bathroom cabinet for Christmas.
Jewelry Box A fairly simple jewelry box for my sister.  I try to use a new technique every time I make something so I can further my learning.  The walnut edging here was something I had not yet tried.
Craftsman Style Cabinet LOTS of mistakes in this cabinet, but it's holding together well!  It's VERY heavy and sturdy.
Wall Cupboard This is a cool design that I got from another website.  I love the way the shelving works.  Made of mahogany and ambrosia maple.
Hall Table A hall table for my sister for Christmas with a bowed front.  No, my sister doesn't have a bowed front, the table does!!  Milled down 5 layers of mahogany and glued them together on a form to make the curved front.
Music Box with Glass Made this for a friend.  This was a lot of fun, and I've thought about making a few of these and seeing if I could sell them on e-bay.
Coffee Table I've needed a new coffee table forever.  This is my own design with ideas from looking at hundreds of coffee table pictures on the web.  I love contrasting woods, and I don't like to stain wood to a different color from natural.  I had to make the top twice because the first was way too large.   The tiles are just set in place so they can easily be popped out (from a hole underneath) if I want to change the color in the future.
Paper Towel Holder Just a nice quick project for an ex made from Cherry with dovetail joints.  Nicest paper towel holder around!
Wine Cabinet Took a lot of inspiration from a lot of designs to come up with this.  I can see some progress in my ability (and perhaps my patience) with this project!
Adirondack Chair Made for my Mom Mother's Day 2006.  Got the plans for free online here from Popular Mechanics.
