This topic was inspired by a question from viewer Tony. He writes: “I am just starting out, as a recreational woodworker, are there any key projects / techniques that you would advise I master as a way of growing my skill set. I am planning to build my own cabinetmaker’s bench later th...
In an effort to relieve our backlog of viewer submissions, this is a grouping of several projects from multiple woodworkers. We will do a few of these over the next few weeks so there will be plenty of eye candy! Cypress Planter by Dennis This is a cypress planter I made for my mom. The panel a...
This Viewer Project come from Ken in Ottawa. Let’s check it out: I am sending you some photos of one of my latest projects for the project of the week. It is inspired by your End Table project but with a twist. First a little background. The wood working club I belong to. The Ottawa Woodw...
Johnny submitted a couple of great projects made from recycled timber! I envy folks who live in areas that have the option to recycle. Its environmentally friendly, its cheap, and the wood itself brings a sense of age and maturity that can’t be achieved with stain or dye. And for anyone wh...

This project comes to us from Jeff in Massachusetts. Let’s check it out: Here are a few photos of a project I completed in April of 09. It is basically modified from Rockler’s Bunk Bed Plan, made from Maple with a few coats of water-based poly, for my youngest daughter. She has the s...
