Built-in Entertainment Centre
I built this simple entertainment centre in two separate parts. I finished and installed the bottom last summer just before it started getting cold out, and early this summer, I finished the upper portion. I didn’t take any progress pictures on this one, but it generally follows the sort of design that you’d see on …
Folding Out Feed Table for my SawStop PCS
I recently snagged a rare deal in the Toronto used machinery market: Â a used 3HP SawStop PCS with a mobile base. Â It’s a great machine and it takes up less space than the Ridgid TS-3650 contractor saw it replaced. Â Unfortunately, when you get a new table saw, you realize just how deeply integrated into your …
Quick Sugar Bowl
I had a glass sugar bowl that had a stainless steel spoon and lid. Â Over time, the rim of the bowl got chipped and sharp so decided to get rid of the glass, but the lid and spoon looked like they’d look very nice with Walnut. Â The major diameter is about 4″. Â I’ll let you …
Router Wing Dust Collection
Most of the time, when I use my cast iron router wing and my router lift, I use it for work at the edge of a board, and the dust port on my fence works fine. Â It always lets a little bit of dust escape to be swept up, but never enough to bother me. …
Walnut Pedestal Desk
I finished building this desk last weekend. This project dragged on for a very long time, in part because at times I found it quite difficult to remain motivated to work on it due to various family events and in part because of my day job. I’m not going to say too much about it …
Pallet Coasters
I saw this idea on Woodworking for Mere Mortals, so thanks Steve, these are great. He posted a video on how he made his versions from real pallets. Mine are made from maple off-cuts from making the doors on my recent little shop cabinets. My approach to this was to get a little crazy with …
Little Shop Cabinets
I originally started this project with the intention of building a single small cabinet for my router bits. Having found some inspiration at Wood Magazine, I sat down with Sketchup and worked out a design. The Wood Magazine plan is free. I decided I wanted two smaller doors, and I didn’t want to go to …
Test Tube Holder
Another project I forgot to post in a timely manner. I was asked to build this as a gift for a little girl I know, and I simply couldn’t resist the chance to try something different. This is a super simple little project that can be completed quite quickly from leftovers. Mine happened to be …
Two More Bowls
Here are two more bowls that I made some time back and forgot to post. The first is made from some leftover white ash that I used in the making of my workbench. I splurged on some 12/4 white ash for the legs, and the off-cut became this bowl. The diameter is approximately 10″, and …
Spalted Maple Vase
I turned this vase in August, 2011 and forgot to post it here. Better late than never I suppose. Not a whole lot to say about it. I scraped the insides out with a Stewart System hollowing brace that I got among the huge pile of accessories that were included as part of my second …
