Image Uploading Suggestions
We appreciate your help in keeping our image gallery orderly and easy for others to research.
Please consider these suggestions while uploading your images.
- Name your images before uploading to our gallery, the generic camera file names just look so messy. "Walnut Desk" looks so much better than "DSC19467je69.jpg". You can also name your images after you upload them to our gallery for your convenience.
- After uploading your images, please consider adding a description so your viewers know what they are seeing and the wood used, the tools used, or even your inspiration for building the project.
- Please consider tagging your images so our members and guests will be able to successfully search for your image and related images. Tags can be inserted into the "Tags" field. An example of tags and their names should be related to your project. If your project images are of a Walnut Desk with dovetail joinery, than tag the image with "Walnut", "Desk", "Dovetail" etc.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Heartpine live edge shelf Updated
This plank had split at a heavy pitch concentration becoming someone else's scrap wood. Add a dado and a little planing / scraping, and it's another shelf. A lesson learned previously - add mounting holes AND counterbores before assembly

End Table Updated
Hope Everyone is doing well. New workshop will be delivered end of the week. Hoping to have it set up by mid summer
I have been getting racks and shelving made to get a jump on a few things. The Mrs wanted a new end table
I used Hard Maple for this after a light stain I top coated with 4 coats of wipe on poly which was very forgiving.
I did use my new Tabletop planer on the legs.Got it done by Mother's day so I slipped by on that one

Night Stand Updated
22" tall 14" wide 18" long
I had some #2 pine, furring 1x2s
and 2x4 so I hand planed 1x2s and put them together like a cutting board
Cut the legs out of 2x4 did a half round using spokeshave
Used Amber Shellac on top then 4 coats clear Shellac over all
Good news on wood situation though we have a good size Amish community around the area they will mill any diminsion wood any species requested for a really good price so I am elated The shop is moving forward as well so life is good
Hope everyone is doing well Next project is Hard Maple already on hand or the boss says siding the rest of the house

The Boss wanted a new Kitchen Island, as she thought we had out-grown the old one...She wanted a taller, larger, shinier Top. A better place to store all the baking sheets and pans, and a taller shelf to store her pop bottles under...AND....be able to roll it out of the way. Once she found a picture of what she wanted, I could start in....took most of the month of June....
Started with a large stash of 1 x 6 boards of Ash....got tired of all the glue ups...middle shelf is 3/4" pine plywood. She wanted a single WIDE drawer. 1 x 6 Ash for the drawer front, 3/4" pine for the sides, and back of the drawer. 1/4" Luann plywood for the drawer bottom.
4 pages of plans...delivered by Moose & Squirrel Delivery Service. Finish is Gunstock stain/ BLO , then a couple coats of poly clear gloss. Casters were added to the feet after it had been hauled up the shop stairs.

Cherry desk Updated
My second (and last, I hope) desk in the past 12 months or so. This is a library style with an extra wide keyboard tray to accommodate the full width KB and mouse I use. This one is for the main computer in the house and replaces a humongous roll top desk we bought probably 20+ years ago. It's absolutely too large for the current house and will disassembled, maybe I can salvage some of the wood for re-use. Anyway, with almost all our information being filed electronically, there seems to be little need for a double pedestal desk anymore, so I chose this style. With the exception of the tray bottom, it's solid cherry. They tray is 1/2" cherry ply. The drop down hinges are butler table style, and they had to be exposed slightly on the front. The desk is styled (sort of) to match another piece in the same room.

The curves throughout the chair are power sculpted using a combination of ROS and a right angle grinder with a 60 grit disk and a Kutzall grinder attachment. The entire chair is sanded to 800 and buffed with a 1200 Abralon pad before the first coat of finish is applied.

Shaker Furniture Updated
Recently I have taken an interest in building Shaker furnishings, I have always loved it, but I am ready to build it.
This album will contain all the furniture I will build in the Shaker style.
Virtually any of the items I will be posting in this album are inspired from books written by Kerry Pierce. Mr. Pierce has created a variety of books on the shaker style, the history and culture of the Shaker community, and within the books there are detailed drawings for much of the work the Shakers produced.
Here is a link to Kerry's site at Kerry Pierce Furniture and here is a link to his books at Kerry Pierce Books in Amazon . I highly recommend the books by Mr. Pierce, they are well made, and well priced as well.
Just one of Kerry's books
Thanks for visiting this album, and thanks for looking!
