Adam’s Coffee Table
I’ve been making furniture for a very long time — a little over 30 years, as I was reminded recently. But one person I hadn’t made anything for yet was my oldest son Adam. So when he mentioned needing a coffee table for his new house, I jumped at it. The original concept drawing. I wanted to pull out all the stops on this, because Adam had never asked for anything before. In my original drawing (above) I wanted to include two drawers, one on each short end, and a display case built into the middle of the table with a glass...

This is a fix job on a project I designed and made in the basement of my Jessup home. I lived in Jessup between 1990 and 1994, so this project was probably made in 1992 or later — about 30 years ago, in other words. It was a pretty simple table, designed by someone who had only the roughest idea what he was doing (ie, me). It had a frame for a top, into which were originally two extra ceramic tiles that were bumming around my dad’s garage. I was experimenting with some early curve work, and this table had curved and tapered legs,...

After that huge fumble on the top, I figured I was probably going to be okay with the Law of Averages for a while. And, I have to admit, the new top was better-looking than the original. Drawers The drawers for this are mostly unremarkable. Two at 3.5 inches high, one at 5 inches, and one at 5 but looking like 6 because it came down to cover the bottom of the drawer box. The sides are 1/2″ plywood, the bottoms of three made from 1/4″ plywood, and false fronts of curly maple for contrast. One drawer is particularly interesting. I...

Drop-Leaf top in Fusion 360 A Drop-Leaf Top I’ve never done a drop-leaf anything before, so this was one of the new challenges that drew me to this design. I found lots of pictures online of drop-leafs that were just hanging there, with no joinery aside from hinges, but that seemed unrefined. I also found several examples where the leaf simply folded over the original top and lay flat. I hated that because it would mean having to fully clear the table top before it could be opened and again before it could be closed. No, I wanted actual...

The bowfront chest left a bad taste in my mouth, although Julie was happy with it. So I needed a project to cleanse my palette, as it were. Something challenging, but in a different way from the bowfront. And, ideally, something we actually needed. I came up with this: Model for the sewing table/ I’ve needed an actual sewing table since before the pandemic. I don’t sew much — basically just hems and some light repairs — but when I do I’ve been setting up on the dining room table, and keeping all my supplies in...

We all get these projects from time to time, don’t we? In this case, it was a paper towel holder we’ve had for years that we’d finally had enough of. The design was fine, mind you. It’s designed to hold one roll, has a little bar to help with tearing them off, but it’s able to be picked up and taken near a spill rather than sitting in one place. The roll slips on and off easily but there is still a knob at the top to grab it by. The old towel holder, for reference. Ours was made in China, and it’s worked...
read moreJulie’s Bow-front Chest, final
It was time for the final fitting and finishing … which, frankly, was some of the worst woodworking I’ve done in a long time. I’m pretty unhappy with the final product. But here goes. I suspected I had a problem when the middle drawers, especially at the top, had to be trimmed a little bit to get them to fit. Trim them I did, and they fit okay, but they were definitely squeezed at the back. This became more pronounced when I actually glued the carcase together, I guess because it was now rigid. Now those two drawers were...

With the case finished for now, I wanted to turn my attention to the tricky part of this build — making the curved drawer fronts. There are 12 total drawers, each with a drawer box front of 1/2″ poplar and a false front of 3/4″ ash. So that meant 24 curved parts. But, since the drawers would have grain that flowed across the visible parts, what I really needed was only one form, 42 inches across. to bend the parts over. I started with my master curve, and a 4×8 sheet of 2-inch rigid foam insulation, and made a bending...

My wife works hard, and finds time to do all sorts of things to make our lives better. So when she complained about her cheap-ass Ikea drawer units that were starting to fail, I jumped at the chance to make her something to replace them. Drawing of the bow-front desk. As originally designed it’s made of walnut and ash, with the drawers made of poplar. That would change quickly, but this was the original concept. I wanted a challenge, so I planned to make the drawers curved in the front. The whole thing will sit on wheels, because its...

This one was quick and easy compared to the easel. I didn’t even draw anything, because it’s going in the same room as the dresser and chest of drawers and they wanted the same style. I still had the pattern from the legs of the tall chest, so I basically designed this around that. It started at Woodcraft, where things were a little odd. I actually bought this wood at the same time as the easel — before anything happened in Ukraine, in other words — but the price of 18mm Baltic Birch had doubled anyway. Guess the...
