Home Woodworking Projects
Below, I've included a few pictures of completed woodworking projects
that I've done around the house:
 | Cedar Chest - The cedar chest was on its way to furniture heaven when
my wife suggested to our neighbor that I might be able to fix it.
When I first looked at it, my reaction was similar to the neighbor's: the
copper trim was badly corroded from a previous restoration attempt, the
oft-repaired Queen-Anne style feet were beyond saving, and a previous
owner 'fixed' some insect damage with hot-melt glue. As a 10th
anniversary surprise, I spent two weekends restoring the chest while my
wife was vacationing with her parents in Idaho. We both agree
that this project turned out much nicer than we had ever hoped! |
| Adjustable shelving - I've built several of these adjustable shelving
units over the last several years. Built out of 2x4 lumber and 3/4"
plywood, these versatile shelving units have been a god-send when
organizing the 'junk' that I've accumulated for my various hobbies.
The unit pictured below is a full 4 feet wide, 8 feet tall and 24 inches
deep. This one has a front door on it to keep curious children away
from the potentially dangerous arcade monitors that are stored in it. |

Front/side view - It's amazing what a little refinishing can do for a badly damaged piece! |
