A few projects that I have done through the years...

This armoir and cabinet set go together. There are 3 pieces. The 2 cabinets in the right picture can be set up next to the armoir in the left picture.
I built these sometime in the early 90's. |

A nice big stack of air dried alder that I picked up cheap turned into a little alcove.

I've made a few beds. This is a maple queen size. The side rails are attached with bed bolts. My son designed it and we built it together - I think he was 14 or 15 years old at the time.
Here's a more recent bed: Cabin bed |

I really enjoy building speakers - here are a few. That last one is my son's - we built those together too.
I build mdf cabinets, put a hardwood edge on them, cover them with paper backed veneer, then, finish up with a round over rout on the edges. This makes them fairly durable. Other speaker pages: Computer speakers Speakers in a day! Reference speakers. |
|
Subwoofers are fun too. My son designed this one - he built it all by himself too!
Speakers look nice with contrasting wood on the edges. |
|
The corner of "awesomeness". That's an old SX-939 from the 70's....still cranking sweet tunes. This set up is a combination of my son's speakers and mine. The sub is his ;(....

Here's a maple countertop and cherry mirror for a master bathroom. For the countertop, I laminated 3/8" thick maple strips to a piece of 3/4" plywood, then applied 2 coats of marine epoxy followed by 3 coats of poly. Pretty sure it's stable and water tight!
The slate backsplash has a nice wood edge on it. |
|
Some alder window shutters. These were built from the same batch of alder that was used on the entry alcove.
The hinges are made from maple. They look nice with the douglas fir casing. |
|
Here's an oak morris chair and ottoman. I got the design from an old Wood magazine. The chair is one of the more complicated pieces they have ever published. Most of their current designs are fairly simple without the need for more difficult joinery.
These pieces have through mortise/tenon joints. The arms on the chair were laminated from 3 pieces and bent over a form. You can't see the lamination joints, unless you know what you're looking for. My wife, who is very handy with a sewing machine (one, among many of her talents), put together the cushions. Just looking at this picture makes me want to sit on it! A new Morris chair. |

I built a bunch of these.... Office desks... Still have to do some drawers for them...
|
|
Here's a little stitch and glue dingy. This was built from one of Sam Devlin's designs. He calls this model the "Pollywog". It's pretty small at 7'6" long and a 4' beam.
More info on this dingy. |

A ukelele... I built a couple of these from kits. This one went to my wife - she has fun plucking it!
Here's my guitar page. |
