Made the foot stool for my cousin to rest her leg and foot on well she is recovering from a fall
Cut a semi-circle from Plexiglass and located it in a walnut slot that was routed out on the router table.
The shield helps keep water from the sink from splashing onto the family room couch.
A table that I made about five years ago. A couple of the slats became unglued from being out in the elements. re-glued and Varathaned.
The original glass top was broken. Used my circular cutting jig to cut a circle of walnut plywood as a replacement.
The foot stool above is the first attempt with using any kind of fabric with wood. It is a faux leather that stapled to a piece of thin particle board and glued to the stool.
These planter boxes are made from Douglas Fir and are 12 inches tall, 24 inches wide. The longer one is 4 feet in length and the other is 3 feet in length.
The four earring case is made from purpleheart and maple. Dimensions are 4 1/4 inches wide, 2 1/2 inches tall and 2 inches deep.
Front of earring box.Back of earring box with brass hinges.Inside of earring box. The back of the earring goes into the round hole and then slid along the groove to rest the earring in place as in the photo below.Earrings in place.
The miter spline jig holds boxes and the like in place while cutting the slot for later insertion of the spline. miters joints are notoriously weak joints and a spline will greatly enhance its strength.
This jig was presented on King’s Fine Woodworking as a video and I bought the plans from their website.
Added this WEN air filtration system to my garage workshop. I can already tell it is taking a lot of the small dust particles out of the air. The car and surrounding areas don’t have that fine coating of dust in the mornings like I’ve grown accustomed too. There’s a two-stage filter arrangement. The outside filter is a 5 micron collector and the innside one is a 1 micron assembly.
Space in my garage is at a premium so I built this flip-top cart to hold my bench top planer and the combination belt and spindle sander. Actually, there’s a law that says you must have a flip top cart in your workspace if your shop is a garage. I rarely need to use these at the same time so I chose these two to utilize the same cart. The cart has 3 inch locking casters making the unit move around easily and can quickly move back out of the way when not in use.
Each unit is plugged into a multi-outlet power strip inside the cart top and one male plug routes out the side. The top comes apart so if I need to get to something inside it’s possible to do so by removing about 10 two-inch screws. Hopefully that will be far and few between.
This design was posted onFishers Shop and I used his design. There are many examples of flip-carts out there and I like this one the best of those that I watched.
i will probably edge-band some the raw plywood edges and give everything a final sanding and several coats of lacquer or poly-urethane to protect the wood. It’s ready to use, let’s make something.
In this position the combination belt and spindle sander is ready for useFlipped 180 degrees the planer is now available.The flip table locks on the side in either position.Added a drawer to hold the spindles and other miscellaneous stuff. Found out the hard way that thing things fall out when flipped upside down.In the middle of a swing.
