Plane Till for a single planeI made a couple of these small Plane Tills as gifts and put an inexpensive plane from Hbr Frt in them .

Early American Wing Back chairs and blanket chest

Early American Wing Back chairs and blanket chestThe wooden wing back chairs and blanket chest plans came from a Rodale book on early american furniture.

The blanket chest uses square cut nails and is designed to hold the chair cushions and keep them safe from any critters.

Wooden handsaw sharpening viseThis project was made in 2 parts – the saw vise was made by a an old carpenter, long since passed.

I needed somewhere to put all of the small parts that one needs to sharpen a saw so I built the parts “till” that sits below the vise. The rough carving is supposed to represent the word “Saw” with the “S” forming a carved saw handle.
