I figured I’d start a blog about a project from start to finish so other readers can follow my progress and hopefully learn from my inevitable mistakes in the process ;-)
I also wanted to show readers how to make complex furniture with limited tools and space.
So a little about the project: I sold my crappy yet still somewhat pricey plywood and veneer coffee table/end tables a little while ago on Craigslist and have been desperately needing to fill the void. My eventual goal is to...

Well I thought I could have the whole cart knocked out in one day, but you wouldn’t believe how incredibly hard it is to work in a garage full of crap! Well, then again, maybe you have been there and can sympathize. Needless to say I made a lot of dust and made some big wood into smaller pieces today. I will let the photo do the talking because there isn’t much to say: torsion box + 4” wheels = platform. :-)
As for design, there have been some changes to account for my st...

Last night I was able to get the box all ready to put together. I cut the sides and the base each at a 45-degree angle. I also cut the sides at 45-degrees on the ends where they fit together.
I am kicking myself for cutting the base and the sides like that as I think it is going to be hard to glue together. Are there any techniques to make it easier?
After I got all the pieces cut, I sanded everything down. Here is what the box will look like when put together.
I also sto...

Last night I worked on getting the tiles cut up and prepped for painting the numbers.
I decided to go with 12 tiles as opposed to 10. I wouldn’t have enough room to put the numbers on 10-12 if I made all the tiles the same size as they would bee to small to get two numbers on. I remedied this by making two different sizes. I made nine tiles sized (7/8 inch) for numbers 1-9 and three (1 9/16 inches) for numbers 10-12.
After I finished all the measurements, I used my miter saw to make ...

DJ wants “overflow” storage for her bathroom stuff and towels.
And as y’all know … what DJ (or whoever YOUR equivalent is) wants … DJ gets.
Time to buy some plans !!
No. Wait.
Not THIS time.
THIS time, I’m going to actually design AND build something.
[Lord, help us all….]
Flipped through a few of the volumes from my awesome collection of used woodworking books. Special shout out to
“Illustrated Cabinetmaking,” by...

I finally completed the Crib, have it assembled and it is in use.
I got a couple questions about the mounting hard ware. The side pannels are removeable. They are supported by Mortise and tennon joints and a screw from the side pannel will lock into a threaded insert along the corner posts. I wanted to conceal as much hardware as I could, and the open part on the side pannels will be capped.
The matress frame attaches directly to the corner posts to threaded inserts at four different...

My wife saw a coffee table like this in a magazine, and asked if I could make one for her… the answer was of course “hell, yeah, your husband can build a fort for you”, but in the mean time, I was thinking, man, she knows the only thing I’ve done is an unintenationally skewed cabinet for the bathroom, that she doesn’t seem to notice, doesn’t care, or just doesn’t mention it.
Anyway, I set out to buy the MDF sheet (up to today this is the only mater...

I am in the process making a couple large teardrop shaped supports for a table, but know absolutely nothing about coopering and the two supports are rather large. Is there an expert among the Lumberjocks that could give me some pointers or ideas where to hunt for information that would be of help to a begginer. That’s the reason I’m asking here rather than a blind search on line. I could search for days and get no where. I have a basic understanding of what coopering is and unders...
