Live Edge Drawer TV Stand/Credenza

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Walnut tv stand. It's really a credenza with a tv on top of it. Most challenging part was flattening and thicknessing the top and the sides. They are made from one 19” wide, 8.5' long walnut board. I didn't want to cut it so it would fit my planer so I built a router sled. My kids love the new tip-on Blum hardware. I have to chase them away from clicking the drawers open and closed all day. Thanks for looking.Credit to YouTuber woodworker Kobeomsuk for the idea.

Craftsman Style Dual Vanity 60"

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Last night I installed the last 4 door knobs, which officially finished my dual vanity project. This is the permanent fixture that replaces the ”temporary” one I built in January of 2019:It took a little over a year from the original plans, which started with a digital CAD model using Autodesk Inventor.This wasn't my first time doing inset doors, but I learned a new trick to help keep the spacing even using a deck of playing cards, which also proved helpful when attaching the drawer fronts.The casework is all oak, interior is Baltic birch plywood, and the dovetailed drawers are made from maple.Considering the number of pieces that are included in this vanity, this has been one of the most extensive projects that I've attempted, and I'm so stinking proud of how it turned out.Side note: thanks to my lovely wife for her patience throughout the build.
