Having a Yoda to guide you thru the complexities makes any project fun instead of work. I am blessed to have not one but two Yodas, Mark R. and Lou K. My workshop is not only equipped with thousands of dollars of tools, but has two wise teachers. My workshop: http://lumberjocks.com/wwbob/workshop
For about the past year, I have been working on the Doll Cradle project, http://lumberjocks.com/projects/40571. The design requires true 1/4” thick plywood. All the veneered plywood measures...

Found a set of plans at Rockler for a three piece Arts & Crafts living room table set.
Bought the materials for the coffee table – around $200. Bought enough materials for the coffee table to start. My 16 year old son did the mortise/tenons and all the cuts. We did staining together.
Want to put on a mosaic tile top.
We prefer staining prior to assembly.

Three nice coats of Watco Danish oil applied to each piece, being extra careful not to get any on the parts to be glued. Not quite careful enough, because I did get a little oil on one tenon and slightly into two mortises. Hopefully, I ‘ll be able to clean it up well enough with some denatured alcohol and minimal sanding.
Here are the two footboard posts, along with two cross pieces for the headboard.
I apply the oil with #0000 steel wool, rubbing it in well, then wipe up th...

I built a cedar deck a couple seasons ago and I’ve had a stack of the off-cuts sitting in my shop waiting for it to be used. In my part of Canada it’s still a littler cold at this time of year but I’d like to get some of my vegetables started so I decided to build a “hot house”. Essentially it’s just a planter that sits directly in my garden with a piece of glass on top to form a mini-greenhouse. Once the weather is nice enough, I just remove the box and in...

I loved the palm boxes I saw being made before Christmas. With no original wood working ideas or experience of my own, I have to copy. Plus I was running out of money for hardware on the other boxes and the palm boxes didn’t need any hardware. I posted my first box in the finished projects already.
This box needed a begining, so I started out with the size. I used a dollar bill as the base size to build from.
So with the boards marked, I cut the pieces.
Ok, some of you ...

This is my first blog, so be gentle. My nephew is graduating high school in a few weeks and I got inspired to make him a present instead of giving money or buying something cheesy. :-)
My inspiration came from a desk I used while staying overnight at a hotel. Below is a pic of the table with my laptop sitting on it. It is approx 22×36 inches with straight legs that have the corners chamfered at 45 deg.
After taking a closer look, I thought to myself…I can make that.Here i...
