Custom Desk and Bookcase, part 1
Just a quick note because it’s been two months since I posted anything. I’ve spent that time remaking parts of the fireplace mantle and refinishing Julie’s plant stand. But those aren’t sexy enough to do posts about. I’ve started a project that is, though. A friend of the family has a need for a new desk, and I had time. So, we’re going the work-for-hire route again. We designed it together, and it’s going to be a heck of a project. Desk design, drawn up in Fusion 360 It will be similar to my computer...

So here’s something a little different. A neighbor came up to me about a month ago and asked, could I make a fireplace mantle? I figured sure, why not? How hard can that be? It was to be 62″ wide, 5″ tall, and 8″ out from the wall. We sat down together and brainstormed what it should look like, and we roughly designed a secret — two drawers that would pop down when a magnetic catch was released, for secret storage. It was a fun idea, and something I’ve never done before. Model for the mantlepiece, minus the...

Here is the other part of my daughter’s Christmas present. Yeah, it’s late. Dresser, drawn in Fusion 360 This dresser is basically a shortened version of the chest of drawers I made in December. It’s constructed almost the same way, so I’ll focus on things that are different or that I didn’t cover thoroughly in that build. Like the chest, it started out as plywood frames. This time I made frames to stretch the whole way across and slotted pieces into the middle, rather than a solid middle panel. That made the...

These were done as gifts for my two nieces; the idea is to hold colored pencils, markers, and erasers and have capacity for more. There’s no plan for this one — it depends entirely on what you plan to put in them and what wood you have around. All the joinery is very simple, glue only. The challenge is in getting thin stock (1/8″ and 1/4″) to behave itself by retaining a flat form and still allowing for wood movement. This one started at the bandsaw. I don’t have thin stock like that on hand generally; I started...
read moreKnife Block
This was a quick experiment that worked out really well — enough so that I’ve already made one for my Mom, too. There’s no formal plan, because it’s going to depend on what knives you want to store in it and what your cabinets are like. I was inspired by this video from Stumpy Numbs (aka James Hamilton), which I thought was exceptionally cool. It had clean lines and pivots to keep the handles out of the way when you’re not using it. I actually intended to make that exact block … but no plan survives first...
read moreToilet Paper holders
This is one of those dumb little projects that is surprisingly useful. We had standard toilet paper roll holders in all the bathrooms, and they’ve been fine for 20+ years. Then we got toilet paper in huge rolls that didn’t fit those holders, which neither of us ever knew was even possible. So it was either (A) live with it until the first half-inch or so was gone from each roll, (B) get larger ones and replace them, or (C) make larger ones to replace them. I opted for (C). The plan, drawn in Fusion 360. This seemed like the kind...
read moreChest of Drawers, part 2
So, I had a carcase glued up; now I could turn my attention to the legs, top, and drawer fronts. The legs started out as 2″ x 2-3/4″ pieces. Before shaping them, I thought about how I’d attach them to the case itself. This seemed like a job for loose tenons, so I made those mortises first, before shaping the legs, and matching mortises in the case sides. The loose tenons would make sure I had everything in alignment. Then I could draw out the curve of the legs from a plywood pattern. It was too long for the CNC machine so I...

I’ve been crazy busy in the workshop these last couple of months. The latest project is a trip back to the bedroom — or, in this case, my daughter’s bedroom. She has four Ikea Brimnes drawer units, and the drawers are falling apart. Time to do something better. After a little negotiating, we came up with a plan: Fusion 360 drawing of the chest of drawers The drawer hardware has still to be determined, but it will be something in oil-rubbed bronze — either knobs or a handle. In the meantime, I can start on the build....
read moreVideo Game Stand
A couple who are friends of mine recently moved into a new home. I asked them what they would like, and the answer was a shelf to store video games on. We went back and forth on ideas and came up with a very simple plan: Model of the media shelf, in Fusion 3D The main features here are the angular look, which matches a media stand they have, and the angled shelves. That is for function as well as looks: by tilting them that way the games can sit on their long edges and you’ll be able to read the titles, and they take up less vertical...
read moreSarah’s Drawer Unit
This was a great example of what can happen when you start building something before your plan is solid. There was a comedy of errors (except it wasn’t really funny), and they mostly stem from ad-libbing because I didn’t take the time to draw and dimension the unit properly before I ever cut anything. Here was the plan: The original plan for the drawer unit. It was charmingly vague about some critical details. The off-white panels would be replaced by the same marble laminate I used for the desk. There were several problems with...
