This Mother’s Day present for my wife was featured in “Shop Notes” magazine Vol. 22 Issuse 127 as a
tool box. I made some slight adjustments to measurements and frame work to come up with this project. It
was made with birds eye maple and purple heart woods, the back, sides and end corner pieces are all resaw
birds eye mounted 1/2in plywood and then planed to the final thickness. The strips on the back hide the joints necessary to get the panels through a 12 in planer. The mouldings were made on a router table and then resawn for final thickness. All drawers have sliding trays with different size compartments.

This table saw runout table is a two-part table. Everything is constructed withYP 1×4 framework, 3/4 plywood
runners for the melamine tops. All frames and runners are gluded, screwed or nailed to maintain ridgid top. The first FIXED table is attached to the back rail of the tablesaw fence slide, and is 12 inches wide x 48” including the framework. The three tops can be popped out for replacement or cleaning. The second table is a fold-down table with the tops screwed to the framework runners. The size of each section is 15.7×30 inches including frames totaling 48 ” wide. The top is hinged on a 48” piano hinge with the legs moving on a 3/8” carriage bolt. Fixed table has miter gauge slots cut into the fixed top, the folddown table has no slots as the miter gauge would be past blade at this point.

First photo is storage cabinet made for my daughter in her garage area. Made with 3/4 plywood.
Second photo is for shop storage- the project is made with 3/4 plywood with hardwood banding, full length drawer slides. Cabinet was painted with base coat then I applied “crackel” to give it a aged look with a darker top coat of paint. The aged look hides the sawdust and all the dings you get in a shop area.

These clocks were made as gift for my kids and friends. They are made of Qt. Sawn Oak, Curley Maple, Ambrosia Maple with walnut or ebony accents. Clock movement from Klock-it.com. Plans are made up and adjusted to fit my own ideas.

I made this mirrow for my wife. Its 3/4 oak and very heavy. Overall its 6 ft tall and 34 in wide. Finish is natural with 4 coats lacq. gloss. Screws counter sunk and covered with walnut plugs.

I made this outdoor table for the church pre-k school care. It is for outdoor classroom instruction and also a lunch table. The construction was made of TP frame work, deck screws and tops of table and benches are composite wood. All edges were routed smooth and rounded. No splinters in the little fingers. Table should last many years. One big draw-back is the weight of all the pieces. It should never fall over.

I made these clocks as Christmas gifts for my daughter and son and two sisters. The original plan was available from ShopNotes.com and I just changed up a few thing here and there. Klockit.com has many clock movements in many sizes, just let your heart and mind go wild.
