We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T.S. Eliot
------------------------------------------------------
I am an amateur woodworker who's main reward is learning and stretching my design and creativity. Each project is used in my home or given away to family. In the future I plan to donate some fine furniture items for charity auctions.
Generally I alternate between completing a shop project or two and a finished project like the Jewelry Armoire. Between these two types of projects I keep my shop maintained and do some housekeeping and sharpening. I always try to have a project on the bench no matter how small.
I had a terrific shop teacher at Fountain Valley High School (Orange County California: Mr. Elwin Tingy). Great guy. He had a huge reservoir of patience, and was as enthusiastic for his students' projects as he was for his own.
The Unisaw was a surprise Christmas gift from my wife four years ago. She is an artist and did all the research herself and paid for it out of proceeds of art sales. What a woman.

We always say it, you do too, we love it when a plan comes together. Not a whole lot more to say at this point. Here are some shots of the first assembly. Lots of small things yet to do and one big thing; the copper patina panel. ...

Hey I want to see how this thing turns out too so I better get to it. Just a quick look at the side rails and footboard and we move on. Just like the headboard, the footboard gets 3/8” holes to house the metal spacers. The middle ho...

I’ve made many comments about the Mortise Pal Jig and how accurate it is, but this time we’re really putting it to the test. The only negative thing about this jig is its name, but I can’t think of anything better and it doesn&#...

So I’ve broken down the break down steps into a mini-series or blog within a blog. Since the side rails need to be the exact width as the footboard it only made sense to use the foot board to layout the joints. I centered the footboard on ...

Where to begin? This time around I thought I’d start at the end then show how I got there. Kind of like one of my favorite books once said, you start by knowing you’re already there. Well enough of philosophy. So often I see bed de...
