Sharpening Station

Sharpening Station

In order to do good work, we need sharp tools. For years, I have wanted to make a dedicated sharpening station. In this project, we will start by building a sharpening pond. With that built, we will turn our attention to a dedicated cabinet that can hold both the pond, a grinder and had a bank of drawers for all of your accessories.

After finishing my new sharpening pond, I wanted to put it to the test. Watch as I go over how to flatten the back of a chisel, grind it’s primary bevel and put on a secondary bevel. After that, I touch up the blade for my Smoothing Plane and take some very thin shavings.

Gamble House Inspired Rocking Chair

Gamble House Rocking Chair

This project has been on my wishlist for many years and I’m excited to bring it to you! This is an iconic rocking chair packed full of great Greene & Greene details, from its recessed carvings to its silver inlay and cloud lift patterns.

For nine months I worked in SketchUp and creating prototypes in preparation for this build. The rocker we will build will vary slightly from the original, which was designed for a person standing around 5 feet tall. Ours will feature an increased seat height and slightly taller back with laminated rockers.

Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers

After years of using screwdrivers that I didn’t like, it was time to build a set I would love. The set we will build also solves that age old problem of your screwdriver rolling and falling to the floor by using an eight sided handle that we will also turn on our lathe. Build a set you’ll use the most by selecting your own set of shanks.

Scotch Cabinet

Scotch Cabinet

In this project, we will build a cabinet using rock-solid sliding dovetail construction. A rabbet face frame and crown molding provides a bold look, while the raised panel door with contrasting wood provides sophistication.

The project plans are sized for a cabinet that holds one bottle and two stemless glasses. However, you can easily vary the plans to make the cabinet the width, depth or height you desire.
