Amy’s Desk part 2
With the inlay panels finished, the next logical step was to build the pedestals. These are fairly simple, but they have some complex curves and cutouts that had to be sized appropriately. It started with the frames to go around the plywood panels I’d made. Rather than just straight frames, these are curved at the top and bottom. It was a pretty simple process — I just cut those rails about 3/4″ wider than the stiles, and made a template on the CNC for consistency. Once the curves were cut, I then went to the table saw and...

I started this project in November, but had a couple of breaks so it’s just now getting posted. This one will be in a few parts because it’s more complex than I’ve been doing lately. Let’s start with a picture: The SketchUp model of Amy’s desk This is for Amy, a friend who just moved into a new home and needs a desk. I took inspiration from a couple of other pieces of furniture that will occupy the same room, like the large symbol on the side and the bird’s mouth at the bottom of the drawer sections. The...
read moreA couple of quick gifts
I’m working on a desk right now which will be posted when its done, but I took a short break from that to do a couple of quick Christmas presents. Minimal photography here, but it’s nothing you haven’t seen before. The wood all came from raiding my scrap bin. A custom box makes a quick gift special. Buying a bottle of someone’s favorite booze is a great start to a gift, but how about putting it in a custom box? That raises things to the next level. This box is pretty simple: just mitered corners, with all the sides and...

This last part in the series was the most challenging, and the most interesting. They wanted a display case large enough for a human to enter and turn around and be visible from 3 sides. Sometimes that person would be standing on a base that rotated and was 24 inches wide, but not always. With a little head-scratching, I came up with this: Initial drawing for the display box It would change a little as I went, but it stayed pretty faithful to that initial premise. My first issue was that, like all the other dungeon projects, it had to...
read morePart 3: A Pillory
Now things start to get really interesting, in a medieval way. Centuries ago, lesser offenses were considered unworthy of jail time; instead the miscreant was put on display and the general public invited to insult, abuse, and otherwise make their lives miserable for a few hours (or longer). All kinds of devices were used for this, but the most recognizable of these were probably stocks (also called a yoke) that fit and locked around someone’s neck and wrists, or possibly ankles and wrists. When these devices were mounted on a fixed...

Once I had the crosses done, I moved on to the next item, which was two spanking benches. I ended up doing two different styles on this, one bench for “normal size” and smaller people and one for larger people. Smaller bench Initial drawing of the small bench The smaller bench is designed to fold up so it can be easily stored and carried. The “victim” kneels on the step at the front, folds their body over the top, and is secured by the wrists to the stock at the bottom. I had a photo of a real working bench to start...
read morePart 1: Crosses
First up was the pair of St. Andrew’s crosses, which are normally pretty straightforward. I looked at a lot of designs online, and the first thing that struck me is … well, they are almost all made out of ugly construction timbers. Heavy, plastered in polyurethane, and not at all pleasant to look at, but certainly plenty strong. I figured we could do better, and make it break down into pieces under 5 feet long so it could be transported in a car. I did find a set of plans for inspiration, but I deviated from them a lot as I went...
read moreOutfitting a Dungeon
It’s good to step outside your comfort zone once in a while, and this summer I had the opportunity to do just that. Without going into too much detail, some people that I know have a need for dungeon furniture that is knock-down and easily transportable. The application here is for a weekend convention, so the pieces will be stored in somebody’s house for most of the year and then come out when they have a show. The venue is usually a hotel ballroom, so it must all be freestanding and portable and to the extent possible...
read moreEverything is a Box
I have been doing a lot since May, it’s just not posted yet. I’ll be doing that. But first, let’s talk about boxes. Recently I took my first-ever professional woodworking course — after 30 years, I know, it’s about time! This was a treat because it was taught by Erik Curtis, of YouTube fame, and the name of the class was “Everything is a Box”. The idea was that people showed up, designed and made a box over a weekend. It was held at Goggleworks in Reading, PA, which is a great venue and I highly...
read moreFixing a problematic base
This project has been on my to-do list since well before my shoulder surgery. I love my Laguna bandsaw — it works well, adjusts easily, cuts nicely — but it’s a major pain to move around. The integrated mobile base didn’t work very well even when it was brand new, and mine has deteriorated to the point where the bandsaw will not roll straight or even at all easily. It also has no storage, which feels like a waste of space. But I had a good amount of scrap maple and some walnut plywood left over from the bathroom vanity...
