I was actually looking for Rietveld’s Red and Blue chair, but i found the 1934 Zigzag chair. I must confess that since my enthusiasm for anything past the year 1700 is fairly recent, when i was in my uncle’s house in Friesland 2 years ...

Just a quick update! The shop is still a pile of sections and timber taking up space in my garden! I am planning on demolishing the existing one in three weeks or so. One of my neighbors has kindly offered to store my tools for a few days during c...

The combination of simple forms and complex marquetry makes Ruhlmann furniture pretty interesting. Though his furniture has a clean sleek look, he rarely used straight lines, favouring instead the more challenging execution of curves. For a better...

I saw a post on here at one point, and also in an old issue of shopnotes about a mortising jig for my plunge router that seemed quick and easy. Since I need to cut a bunch of mortises for the blanket chest I am making I figured I would make one. ...

I spent some time rough cutting all the stock for the blanket chest and then laying it all out to acclimate for a little while. I still can’t get over how much easier it is with the tablesaw. All the pieces are the exact same width and len...

The box has been plugged, sanded and we took a Dremel to the punky wood. I think all the holes are ready to be finished and so we move on to the tung oil. I usually have help with this part from my wife and my youngest daughter. They love to se...
