It has seen some water damage and the varnish is flaking off (especially on the top). But I don’t necessarily have the time/energy for a full strip/sand/refinish, especially as this may get dinged up; I’m just looking for a reasonably pleasing look....
Another angle below. Very dinged up and the end and legs were missing, but seemed like to much hardwood to pass to....
I’m guessing this is the result of layers of slathering a fresh layer of finish on these tables. To be honest, I kind of like the look. Any idea what type of finish this might be?...
My family had one from decades ago that’s falling apart, so I made a replacement. I went with toothpicks as little dowels to help join the crossbars to their supports, since the flat glue joint didn’t hold for all of them....
Maple/mahogany stave drum I made for my drummer.
It’s actually just friction fit together in this picture; as I type it’s in the clamps as the glue dries. Tomorrow some final touch up sanding and the first of four coats of spar varnish, then a few decades on my front porch under a couple potted plants....

I’ve got 20 of these to carve out, and I’ve only done a smidgen of carving before. Luckily my boss trusts me enough with his antique carving tools...
I was checking to see how a 3/4" dog hole would look in a vise jaw made from two 3/4" pieces of plywood. Just clamped for the test, but would be glue for the real thing. Interesting to see the hole opened up. And luckily no splitting, but do you think it would work as an actual vise jaw? This is for a Veritas quick release front...
I had an old can of poly in the basement, and decided to give it a try. Thin crust on top, poured kind of like egg whites. But after mixing with mineral spirits it seemed smooth, and the result on my new plywood workbench top is smooth and fully cured as far as I can tell. workbenchsurface
I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I’ve had sitting around for ages. Here’s a better picture of the interesting bit:...
Part of a larger project I’m working on, which takes the “waste sawdust” and grows a Reishi mushroom out of it.

I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?
As we didn’t find any shelf of our liking we tried to create it ourself. It worked out better than expected, however it obviously isn’t perfect. But as completely laymans we are happy nonetheless....

I made a joiners mallet. I’m trying to challenge myself by only hand tools. The wood was found in the basement; I think hickory head and I have no idea what the handle pieces are. The handle and head were each laminated and the handle was mortised in, wedged, and glued. I rounded out the handle with a spokeshave and rasp....
Nothing too fancy and not super precise, basically cut a strip of wood to size with a hand saw and made notches for the pieces to fit together using the same hand saw and a chisel. :)
Well, I guess it could handle stuff a good bit wider than 30cm. Mystery wood, but probably red oak. Just a rabbet on each piece, some hardboard (narrower than the print) to connect them, and commodity hanging hardware. Broke the edges with a hand plane, then a light sanding and finished with Danish Oil.
I built this garden shed to hold potting supplies and lawn tools for my bonsai garden. It was a fun exercise playing with the nail gun and I didn’t even stab myself. The shed definitely is not plumb or square, but it hasn’t fallen over yet so I’m pleased.
To make the space above our massive heater a bit more useful, I hacked together this little shelf from some second hand wood that I bought from somebody in our area. It’s made entirely with hand tools and held together by screws and prayers due to the funky shape of the back side of the heater....
