Not great pictures, but you will get the idea.

This is not wood and a explanation may be in order. In Maine we have a co-op gallery with items of iron, wood, stone and glass. Tenotim used to be a member until he decided to move to Texas.

Thought you would be interested in this table our iron guy just completed. The base is iron, but the top is a piece of 3 foot square crushed lobster shells that are held together with epoxy (it’s a patented system the girl that makes them has) and has a 1/4” plate glass secured to the crushed shells.

She makes a number of items with this product, but this is our first venture into furniture.

The goal is to have the tourists come here and spend a lot of money on a lobster dinner and then drop a grand to take the lobster waste back home with them in the form of a table :))

Waste nothing!

Many of you have probably seen this and it is from a plan at:

Thought it would be a good idea to post the source of plans here if you did buy it. I know I’m interested in the rocking horse plans in a previous post and look forward to the source.

I don’t make them anymore (made 28 of them and tired of it), but I can tell you they create a lot of interest and are a good item to sell. I made most of mine out of cherry.

You can easily imagine them in a old log cabin where space was a premium. The item provided seating, ironing board or table and a ladder.

The images are small so are not clear until you enlarge them.

Enjoy!

Here’s a toolbox I built a while ago from plans in “The Toolbox Book”.

I have never been sorry about building this because of it’s storage capacity and ease of working from. The only downside is that as I get older it’s harder to carry, but the top tray and three drawers come out if I wish to make three trips.

The first picture shows the front with the three drawers. Second picture is the back that holds a square in that extension. The third picture shows the box with drawers open and top removed.

Not many tool boxes are made of wood anymore, so if you are thinking of it, give this one some consideration. It’s a great workpiece and will become a family heirloom.

It’s alright to build something for yourself once in a while. :))

Hello All,

Just came aboard here and just finished up a couple of projects. This is a design from a old spice cabinet that I was inspired by at the site of Charles Neil.

It was built for a cd cabinet and will hold about 150 cd’s. The handle is pine soaked in black dye. The back is two boards glued up and hand beaded. Enjoy!
