Small Tools Cabinet
Furnished content. (from Popularwoodworking.com)
Simple joinery creates a compact cabinet with full-size storage. When I spied an old machinist's chest loaded with narrow drawers in my neighbor's garage, I knew my small tools were finally going to have a permanent home. My version isn't …Source

Cube in Cube
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This project has no practical use whatever. I just made it because I have a drill press. I suppose in the olden days afore we replaced paper with computers it could have been a paperweight. Maple, finished with boiled linseed oil. (Can I keep the diluted linseed oil, that I used for dipping, in a jar until my next project?)

Thunderbird Vessel
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Pretty much all of the vessels that I've made lately have been of the Southwest Native American design. I thought that I'd change things up a bit and make something representative of the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest coastal tribes this time. To accomplish this, I incorporated a Thunderbird feature ring into this one. The Thunderbird is a mythological character that appears in many Native American legends. From the numerous stories of the Thunderbird, it is often assumed that Thunderbird is a protector - though at times this creature can be forced to punish those of low moral integrity. I made this piece out of Cherry, Maple and Walnut. There are 481 total pieces in this wood turning. The intricacy of the Thunderbird feature ring took a long time, as in, most of the summer! It's finished with 10 coats of polyurethane followed with abrasive paste and wax. As usual, before the finish was dry my wife claimed it as hers. I guess I should be happy that she likes my work!

Japanese style bird table
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I made this bird table for my daughter after she saw the birds in my garden and said how nice it was to see all the birds feeding. When I started this project I didn't have any plans to follow. I just looked at lots and lots of Japanese style pictures of bird tables so that I could build up a picture of how I wanted it to look. I then set about making a full size 3D template from card which I stuck together with tape. I was able to make adjustments to the size and then measure the angles and when I was happy with the size I dismantled the template and used it to cut out the various sections. I used English Oak for the curves and cedar for the roof. I used a combination of dowels and biscuit joints to hold it together and weatherproofed the undersides of the roof with silicon sealant. Finally I gave the bird table four coats of Protek's wood seal and protect to complete the project.
