In the end, I feel very strong that we won’t, nor should be; remembered or judged for our words, but rather the sum total of our actions and deeds.
To this truth as I know and understand it, I will let the pictures of “This Old Crack House.” speak for them selves.
Every piece of furniture was designed and built with my own hands, along with all the decorating, color choices, and room layouts, which are my own creations.
You then can be the judge and come to your own conclusions.
E...

Hi everyone;
Since a lot of LJ’s have been following the progress of my ezee-feed project, I wanted to share part of my day today. I hope no-one is put off by my posting this or thinks I’m bragging as I’m really in no position to brag, but it was a very special day for me. (I don’t have a lot of those since embarking on this project).
I’ve had a number of orders waiting for the first batch of Ezee-Feed units to come out of the factory, since I stopped makin...

Well I’d been talking to Dusty it seems like for a week. He stated that he had this idea for a memorial to Mark, in a way that only a LumberJock could. Dusty’s witings start here
One of the best Memorials would be to insure that we do our part in keeping LumberJocks still in business, and it that way we could keep the memory of Mark alive through his participation.
Dusty told me that he had communicated with Douglas Border about his idea, and they thought that they’d get me involv...

This project is finished. Let me show you what I have been up to the last two days.
MAKING THE DRAWERS
I trued up some stock on the jointer and planer out of Birch for the drawers:
And then made the half-blind dovetails on my Incra router table (first time I’ve done that… so sweet)
Assembled the drawers:
And glued them up:
Then I routed a stopped groove on the drawer sides:
This seemed to work just right for sanding the inside of the gr...

I’ve been really busy trying to learn SketchUp.
My Son needs a new front porch on his home.
I decided this would be a good way to learn SketchUp.
His old concrete steps have been gradually leaning, & it makes the whole house seem crooked.
He said if he sits on a step, he feels like he’s going to fall off.
This was quite an experience for me, because I’ve used a T-square, & triangles for so long.
This project took me an awfully long time, but I learn...

After being inspired by some beautiful scrollsaw work recently, I thought it was time I did a little practicing at my scroll saw.
The WoodI purchased some 1/4” thick poplar—I didn’t want to use pine because it is so fragile and I didn’t want to use walnut for two reasons: 1) it is too hard and 2) After sacrificing some walnut to make my snowman bottle holder I didn’t think I dare sacrifice some more in order to “practice”.
The ProcessI put tape ...

I have been struggling with the final arm rest/leg design of a redwood patio chair, so I thought I would document the process and the progress thus far and as it moves forward (at a snails pace).
First off, when I originally sketched this chair I fell in love. I couldn’t wait to get into the shop and get started. The need was for a set of deck chairs but i really wanted to avoid a straight Adirondack design. I was trying to get a comfortable contemporary look with both a minimal ...

Well, I am finally graduating to furniture. I intend to blog the journey in this series to share what I learn in the transition from small boxes to full size furniture. I’ve done large projects before but furniture is sort of the ‘holy grail’ of woodworking, in my mind. It is what I would really like to do (if I could afford the lumber). By the way, my mom’s birthday is June 21st (we will see how close I get to the the deadline.)
The Design:
Here is the original...

With the success of my scrollsaw stars, I decided to get a little more challenging.
I found this pattern for a “fern box” online and I used some leftover tongue & groove pine that Rick brought home from his work.
Took me 3 hours to complete this stage. oh.. and only 1 scrollsaw blade!! Now THAT’s impressive

Well folks!
It’s finally done!
This took a little longer than expected, because of the weather, & things.
It’s amazing that it looks just like the SketchUp plan, but I think a tad better looking though.
My Son, & his family really love it.
It’s almost like a new room on their house.
I also learned about the new way of staining treated lumber.
They don’t recommend letting it dry out for 60 to 90 days.
They say that if you treat it right a...
