Sewing Table, part 1
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...

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...

It all started simply enough: my daughter Sarah asked if I could make an easel. Sure, I figured — a tripod with a ledge, how difficult could that be? Then she showed me some photos on a website of what she wanted. Sample easels from the web The drawer in particular was important, and she liked the idea of a shelf. It needed to be adjustable for sitting or standing. Okay, it still didn’t look that hard. No problem. (Foreshadowing: it was, in fact, much more difficult than it looked. This was a definite challenge, and several parts...

So that leftover leopard wood was calling out to me to be used for something. There wasn’t much of it — a single board, planed to 3/4 thick, 4 inches wide, and maybe 24 inches long. But it was too damned pretty to do nothing with. I thought it would make a really nice box top. There was a decent amount of leftover curly maple that would look nice with it, too, and I even had a reasonable need for a nice box — to hold the sugar-free candy bars that Julie and I like to keep handy for snacks. And I hadn’t done a box in a...

I have a couple of overseas friends who are getting married soon, and clocks are simple to ship so … yes, another clock. And this time I tried to document the steps better, so it’s a more complete build post. This one started at Woodcraft. I was a little low on walnut and wanted to pick up a piece, but while I was there my eyes was drawn to the leopardwood they had. It was a wood I’d never worked with, and its spotted grain seemed tailor-made for this sort of project. I splurged and bought a piece, and it definitely came out...

Sorry, I couldn’t resist! So, recently I mentioned needing to find projects to use up my leftover wood pile. This is the first one: This is the cover page from Rex Krueger’s plans, which my mallet is based on. Rex goes into great detail in his video about why this mallet is different and special. I liked it enough to buy his plans, but I’m not a hand tool guy generally, so I made my variation of it with a combination of the CNC and a modest amount hand sanding and shaping. I started in vCarve, which is not my favorite place...
