Asian inspired bow front dresser featuring curly maple and bubinga veneer. When my wife asked me to build her a low boy dresser a few years ago I saw it as an opportunity to showcase some beautiful timbers and challenge my skills. I wanted something unique and and sketched out this leg design...

Thei end grain board was a lot of fun to make and I love the look. Dimensions are 14" X 14" X 1 1/4" Mineral oil and beeswax finish with rubber feet to prevent movement during use. I had some scraps left over so I made a smaller 6" X 14" bread / cheese board to go with it.

I got a really nice Delta 12" disc sander for my birthday Friday 4-6. I especially like the dust collection on this one. Very heavy and solid tool. Then Sunday 4-7 I see this Saw in a garrage sale add in my neighborhood. Of corse it followed me home. I also got a Bosh router, router table...

Twin dressers for my twin daughters who are 8 years old. I have been working on this project in my spare time for over a year and now they're finally done. The girls are ecstatic! Woods used are cherry, maple and walnut. The pulls are a bent lamination and attached with walnut dowels. The tops...

Dresser project progress This is model of 2 dresser’s I am building that I drew in sketchup. I am a bit of a beginner in sketchup and the model is not 100% accurate in relation to my final plan drawings. My first step in the project was to veneer 3/8” MDF panels for the side frame and...

I really like the dadowiz for making dadoes with the router but dust collection is a problem. I have a dust port on my router but with a guide collar in place and the router resting on the dadowiz it's useless. I need'ed to come up with something that trails the tool to effectively collect the...

I am pretty new to sketchup but thanks to youtube video tutorials I am catching on. Here is a dresser I am working on. The piece will present some new challenges for me. I have done a few bent laminations and use a vacuum press but haven’t done bent lam drawers before. I am pondering joinery for...

Once in a while in-between my fine woodworking projects I get a work order from my wife and family for something a little more basic. Our “game closet” has been in dire need of some extra shelves as we have many games and only one shelf. Another issue has been my son needed a place to display...

Several months ago I shared a design idea for bent lamination dresser pulls. I have some process and results photos to share. I begin by creating templates, bending form and shop sawn veneers of cherry and curly maple. The veneers are glued up using weldwood plastic resin glue and a...

I built this horizontal router jig from plans featured in an old issue of Shopnotes magazine vol. 12 issue 68. The jig excels at routing mortice and tenon joinery and slots for concealed hinges. The plan has quite a long list of hardware. I ordered some of the hardware on line and spent a couple...

I am hoping Santa will bring me a new drill press for Christmas. I really like the Powermatic but at a savings of over $300 I think the Delta will do nicely. . What do you think?
