1. Simple Bedside Table Updated June 6

   Basically 4 pine boards got turned into a simple, shaker style table...One board was crosscut and glued up into the top.  Two more were cut into four aprons, with the "leftovers being made into corner blocks.  The last board was a scrap 2 x 10, was resawn into four leg blanks, and then tapered on two sides.
   Mortise & Tenon joinery, nothing real fancy.   Golden Oak stain, and Gloss Poly for a finish.

16. 18th Century Connecticut Blanket Chest Updated June 9, 2017

    This is a pine chest I made based on an American Woodworker issue that contained the plans to build this chest.
    The chest in the issue is a reproduction of the actual chest made by John Wheeler Geer in the 18th century. To see the actual plan set in the American Woodworker issue go to Connecticut Blanket Chest .
    I also built one in Curly Maple, I will post those images as well.

19. Shaker Furniture Updated April 3, 2017

    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!

23. Fred W Hargis Jr Updated February 2, 2017

    I had built a bookcase from this plan when it was first published in Woodsmith maybe 20 years ago. That bookcase was built from oak, and I built it quite a bit larger than the plan, having shelves 48" wide. When we moved to a smaller house, that case was too large to fit in our much smaller rooms, so I built another one. This time using cherry it was built a lot closer to the plan, other than being made slightly shorter by making the capital a little less tall. The flutes on the column have a bullet point. I used a tip published in Wood (I think)  that's shown in the pictures.

24. Fred W Hargis Jr Updated January 30, 2017

    This corner cabinet is fairly well documented, I have 3 books and 1 magazine article describing it. If you've heard of the Wally Kunkel Dewalt RAS book (Mr. Sawdust), a sizable portion of it is devoted to building this cabinet, on an RAS of course. But I followed one of the Lonnie Bird articles and built this when we my wife asked for one about 4 years ago. It was probably as close to anything "heirloom" I'll ever build and was definitely the most fun project I've done. A lot of router table work to do the moldings, the top molding is built up of 9 pieces, the waist molding is 5. The doors were a lot of fun as well, my first time at true divided light doors.

25. TV cabinet Updated January 30, 2017

    Needing a new cabinet for our TV, we were in an Amish furniture and saw one that looked like this. "That's the one we want" said my wife, with no lack of conviction at all in her voice. Problem is that one was walnut and we wanted cherry. A year later she asked me if I was going to build it, so i had no choice. Going on some very basic dimensions and only my memory (shudder) of what the original looked like I was able to put it together. This was a first in many ways. I built a complete full scale mockup out of cheap chinese ply to get the angles and overall size suited for us. Because it was a complicated glue up (due to size, the largest single piece I've built) I used liquid hide glue. Not shown in the photos was a stile I had to add to the center of the electronics bay. It worked well without that center stile (no sag) with the first TV we had, but an upgrade to a heavier one did cause 1/8" of sag in the center so I added the stile. Sad thing, we really liked that cabinet, but the house we bought earlier this year had no space suited for it and we gave it away.
