Dovetailed step-stool
by acducey Monday, August 8, 2011
This was my first attempt at hand-cut dovetails (after several botched practice attempts using MDF). The stool is a modified version of a Weekend Project in American Woodworker by Frank Klausz. It is held together with nothing but three kinds of dovetails...

A crate from Brazil?
by Steve Newman Friday, February 25, 2011
Yep, it supplied the wood for asmall cabinet. The flat panels are just 1/4' luann plywood, from a different "crate", but the solid wood parts came from a shipping crate from Brazil. Unknown what kind of wood it is, but it would not take...
New Piece: Extension table in walnut and maple
by Mark Love Saturday, January 8, 2011
Designing this extension dining table was a perfect example of how I like to work with clients. This lovely family of four wanted a dining table that would be small enough for every day use, yet one that could extend to seat up to twenty guests. They...
A "Windsor Style" Quilt rack.

I had some scrap wood around the shop, a couple 2xs from a pallet, some pine and Poplar slats, and a "need' to make a quilt rack. I turned two end posts from one of the pallet's 'runners', and bandsawed a few other parts. Four 'feet"...

by Steve Newman Saturday, December 4, 2010
Another table style i like to make, this one a Shaker Style table. About 24"x 24" top, a small, simple drawer, and some hand tapered legs. The drawer does not even use dovetails (too small) so just some rabbets are used. Aprons are joined to...
Table with a floating top?
by Steve Newman Saturday, December 4, 2010
At least it looka like it is floating. Just some pine for this little table. The front apron has a drawer front that matches the grain of the apron. Simple to do. I just cut out the drawer front from the apron, and fill in the saw kerfs with some "beading"...

by Steve Newman Friday, December 3, 2010

Miter Saw Acute Angle Jig
by bricofleur Friday, May 14, 2010
I’ve been thinking about making this jig for years. Since nice weather has arrived I have to make a picket fence. All slats will end to a sharp point, meaning I have to cut them at an acute angle. I used to do that on the tablesaw but each time...
stripe humidor
by Stephen Higginbotham Tuesday, May 4, 2010
zebrawood and rosewood lined with Spanish cedar. zebrawoods interlocking grain pattern prove to be quite difficult to plane, but this was a small project that gave an opportunity to work with exotic boards without breaking the bank. Enjoy.
