  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #62

    by bricofleur     Sunday, March 7, 2010
    One last molding to mill. I install this ogee bit in the router table and I align the fence barely in front of the bearing. Used in the router table, the bearing should not touch the workpiece. Since the expected life of bearings counts in hours, ideally...

  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #58

    by bricofleur     Sunday, February 21, 2010
    Now let’s mill the edges of the top shelves. I install a 3/8’’ roundover bit in the router table. As usual, I proceed with test cuts. If you look closely on the photo you will see that I must readjust the height of the router bit to...

  • Adjustable Cutoff Bin

    by bricofleur     Thursday, February 18, 2010
    I've been thinking of building a cutoff bin for a long time and I came up with a version that offers more flexibility from what I saw up to now. Since my scrap pile is in constant evolution, I wanted to have a bin that would help organize the cutoffs...

  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #56

    by bricofleur     Wednesday, February 10, 2010
    I roughly cut the top shelves of the hutches. I’m ripping strips to make the moldings to fill the underside of the top shelves. To stay on the safe side for the router table, I rip them wider than required. I install a 1/2’’ roundover...

  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #54

    by bricofleur     Sunday, January 31, 2010
    To give a decorative touch, I’m installing on the router a flush trim bit which has a fine V tip. I align the V tip with the joint between the uprights and the face frame. The bearing riding against the uprights will assure uniformity. To prevent...

  • Motorcycle Rocker

    by Douglas57     Monday, January 18, 2010
    This is my take on the "old" rocking horse

  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #50

    by bricofleur     Sunday, January 10, 2010
    I install the face frames on the upper hutches to mark for the biscuits. To do so, I use a block of wood to align the lower ends. I’m using bar clamps to temporarily set the face frames and get a small T-square and a pencil. At each 8-10 inches...

  • Home-made Hammond

    by Phillip     Friday, January 8, 2010
    This isn't my creation (my skills are much more "limited" than this requires!) but I was really impressed with this home-made Hammond and wanted to share. I can't imagine the pride and satisfaction in completing a project like this!...

  • Ultimate Tool Stand

    by microsuffer     Tuesday, January 5, 2010
    Recently I was browsing Lumberjocks and came across a link to an article that had been published in American Woodworker which showed one designer's idea of a compact, but versatile tool stand that could be rolled out of the garage and leveled for...

  • Brass and Chrome Ice Cream Scoops

    by Cougar96     Monday, December 7, 2009
    This was a fun and easy project to do on the lathe. I got the idea from American Woodworker Magazine. I used Jobillo Wood on two of the scoops and Redheart Wood on the other one. I used Pure Tung Oil for the finish and I bought the scoops from Rockler...

  • Shaker Blanket Chest in Cherry

    by Mark Love     Tuesday, November 17, 2009
    I just delivered this. The simplest designs give me the chance to feature the wood prominently. This cherry looks pretty sweet. Enjoy :)

  • The Heritage - Traditional Workstation Desk and Hutch

    by Ciuviercastle     Monday, November 9, 2009
    The Heritage Traditional Computer Work Station - Desk and Hutch. Have you ever wanted a fashionable computer desk that is reasonable in size and well portioned to place all computer components, for ease of use? There are no other desks on the market that...

  • Brass Ice Cream Scoops with Black Walnut Handles

    by Cougar96     Friday, November 6, 2009
    This was a fun and easy project to do on the lathe. I got the idea from American Woodworker Magazine. I used some Black Walnut logs I harvested and dried out in my basement. I used Pure Tung Oil for the finish and I bought the scoops from Rockler.com...
