Roselyn’s Toy Chest build, part one

Roselyn’s Toy Chest build, part one

The build phase started, as usual, with me making a parts list and calculating the board feet.  Allowing for 20 percent spare, I figured I’d only need seven board-feet of maple and nine board-feet of poplar, which made this a pretty budget-friendly project.  Then I went to Woodcraft and almost immediately had a change of heart. In most of my previous two-toned projects I’ve used the same wood and stained or dyed some of the parts before assembly.  That’s a lot of extra work, and I was facing a short deadline for delivery....

Roselyn’s Toy Chest, design

Roselyn is the daughter-to-be of family friends Scott and Kate.  Julie’s friend Anni asked me a while ago about designing an heirloom-grade toy box as a new baby gift, so I did some research and came up with a few options.  The obvious starting point was the traditional huge-box-with-a-lid approach.  As a parent myself I’ve always found those to clumsy and awkward.  By the time a child is tall enough to be able to open the box and reach all the way to the bottom, they’ve outgrown most of the stuff they’d store in it....

Assembly Table Top

When building the rolling storage unit I was bothered a lot by my inability to get the cabinet to stay square.  Part of the problem (though not all of it), I realized, was that I really don’t have a reliably flat surface to work on when trying to glue up a piece.  Anything too big to fit on the tablesaw’s flat-ground cast iron table was getting assembled on my knock-down assembly table with its laminate and plywood top.  A top which, I couldn’t help but notice, has been getting decidedly less flat over time. That’s...

Julie’s Laptop Table

We’re not quite ready to plunk down the money for kitchen cabinets yet, but there was another itch in the house that needed scratching recently. Late last year I built a pair of really pretty snack tables: They’ve been quite popular.  Handy size, adjustable height, and pretty to look at.  They are so useful, in fact, that one of them keeps wandering upstairs to Julie’s home office because it’s the perfect size for her work laptop to sit on when she’s teleworking.  So I figured why not make her one that she can...

Rolling Storage Unit build, completion

With the case fully assembled, my storage unit was starting to look pretty good.  Now came the detail work. Shelves The three adjustable shelves are very simple things, just a painted plywood piece with a strip of maple at the front.  I test-fitted them into their openings, sanded the maple edging and applied it with glue.  While that dried, I cut a dozen 1-inch lengths of 1/4-inch dowel on the bandsaw and sanded a chamfer on each end to make them easier to slip into and out of the holes. One mistake I’ve made on previous projects was...

Now that I had my vertical case parts, the next part was pretty simple. Top and Bottom The top for my rolling storage unit is a piece of 3/4-inch MDF 72 inches long and 19 wide.  To give it rigidity, it is trimmed in 1-1/2 inch wide pieces of 1-inch thick maple.  It will overhang the finished case by 1 inch on each end and be flush at the front and rear. There is nothing particularly special about the top.  I mitered the corners of my trim pieces and attached them to the MDF with biscuits and glue to make the assembly. The MDF panel got...

Rack ’em Up

I’ve already shown you the craptastic 2×4 shelf unit where I’ve been storing my lumber and sheet goods, and my plans for a better system.  One part of the plan was executed successfully today: This is the Wood River HD lumber rack that I mentioned in a previous post, except this photo is actually taken from my garage workshop.  Yay! To start with, I bought two of the Wood River kits.  Each kit comes with two steel tubes, standoffs for mounting against the wall, and three pairs of shelf standards.  The tubes are 44 inches long...

There’s one part of my shop that I’ve never shown you.  It’s the area where I store lumber, sheet goods, and also the non-woodworking items that one normally keeps in a garage.  Here it is:   Yeah, it’s kind of a mess.  At the back of all that is a wooden shelf unit made from 2×4 and plywood.  It is 6 feet wide, 6 feet tall, and 2 feet deep; it has three shelves, roughly 3 feet apart, and a pair of MDF runners that provide storage for items long enough to stretch between them.  Normally, when I start a new project...

Shop Built Tapering Sled

I found myself with a rare free weekend and a yen to spend some time in the shop, but no particular project to work on.  So I spent it scratching an itch that’s been bugging me for the last couple of projects:  a tapering sled. I’ve had a couple of tapering jigs over the years.  My first one was like the one pictured at right:  a pair of metal channels with a hinge at the top, a metal stop at the bottom, and a curved slide with a wing nut for locking the position in at a given angle.  There was also a pretty-much-useless degrees...
