I did this wall clock several years ago, but never got around to posting it here. I worked from plans, but don’t remember where I got them. The wood is quartersawn curly red oak. The finish is an oil-urethane finish, 3-4 coats. The glass was recycled from an old house window that had been replaced. Because of all the angles, I had the local glass shop cut the glass. The movement is a quartz movement that sounds on the quarter-hour, and strikes out the time on the hour.

A friend asked me to make a cutting board that had a handle built into the wood, and this was the result. I thought I’d post it, since I haven’t seen that many boards with a handle like this. Woods are maple, cherry and purpleheart. Dimensions are 19” x 12” x 1”.

I made a couple of these a while back. One for my girlfriend, and one for her sister. I found the plans online for free. The wood is Leopardwood. Leopardwood is hard, heavy, and splinters like crazy, but it’s beautiful to look at. I finished it with 1 coat of pure Tung Oil, followed by several coats of Waterlox.

I had made one of these desk clocks about 2 years ago in Red Oak. A family member expressed an interest in having one, so I set about making a new one using some Quilted Maple that I had. It’s an original design – pretty simple, though.

I used a router with a circle jig to do the circles. The center piece with the clock movement swivels 360 degrees on 1/4” wooden dowels. The base has a simple 1/8” rabbet along the top edge. I finished it with 1 coat of pure tung oil, and 3 coats of Waterlox Original.

Dimensions are 7¾” x 7½” x 7½.

This isn’t fine woodworking, but it’s a project I really needed to do. I had an old “wishing well” covering the well cap on my property. It was rotting and falling apart, so I decided to make a new one. The third pic above is the old well.

I used pressure treated lumber. The base is made of 128 pieces of 2x material. Each layer is an octagon, arranged in an alternating pattern. Posts are 4×4s. The roofing job is not the greatest, but it was my first attempt.

A friend of mine from work asked me to make him a clock, after seeing some of the clocks I’ve made. I sent him some links so he could give me ideas on what he liked, and he chose this one from Klockit’s web site. I ordered the movement and tried to reproduce the look, based on the photo.

The wood is Honduran Mahogany, finish is pure tung oil. The front and sides are clear acrylic, and the back is acrylic mirror. To help stabilize the columns, I drilled 1/4” deep recesses in the top and bottom, using a forstner bit. The top of the columns have a screw embedded in them which the brass knobs on top thread onto. The bottom of the columns are anchored by wood screws inserted through the bottom of the clock. The feet have levelers installed. These came with the clock movement.

Hi All -

I’ve been perusing this website for a few months now, and I’m glad I found it. My favorite thing to do on the Woodworking sites is look at what other people are building.

This is my first time posting a project here. It’s a dartboard cabinet that I just finished. The wood is mainly cherry. I used a cleat system for hanging the cabinet, and the cleats are made of hard maple.

This project represents 2 firsts for me: Dovetail joinery (using my Leigh jig), and Frame-and-Panel door construction.
