    Work bench top design question

    I am hoping to build a new work bench and I have some recovered maple locker room benches that I think could be laminated into a nice top. The benches are 9" wide by 1 1/4" thick. I was thinking of using three wide by two or three thick (resulting in a 27" by 72" top that is 2 1/2" or 3 3/4"...

    Chest of Drawers/TV stand Design Critique

    I have a friend wanting a chest of drawers/TV stand for her bedroom. She dictated the outside dimensions and height and an overall idea of what she wanted. I've played around with the drawer depth because she wanted 14" deep drawers, I figured that would be a little deep for clothes. So I've...

    Best Way to Design Work?

    I know there are various free programs out there, but what do some of you guys use? I have looked at SketchUp and I guess I am too simple minded to get it to work right. I really want something that is simple and I can enter in dimensions. Thanks Tim

My shop is 16x24 and I plan on running the main line at approx 36" off the floor with drops to all the...

    Wine rack design

    Though I have a new to me lathe I have yet to fall into the abyss called the "dark side". In fact the scroll saw was running tonight. While I can still function in the "light" I would like to build a wine rack. Nothing super fancy but nice. Size wise I am thinking like something to hold 12...

    Design input, please

    I know many of you possess the soul of an artist; me, I only got the sole! I think this table is going to look real plain as it is, but I'm not sure just what to do to it. Any ideas?

    Iturra Design - I give them an "A"

    I purchased 2 bandsaw blades from Iturra Design earlier this year. Upon arrival, I discovered that the Bladerunner blade was 3/4" too long. There was no way I could make up that slack. I had given them the spec'd length over the phone and that is what I was billed for. After just one call...

    Style, design, proportion?

    I know its almost blasphomy, but something has been on my mind (and I'm not just talking about my hair). Where do ya'll go for ideas in terms of style? Most mag's I read cover tools (no complaint), have projects/plans (just fine) and cover Woodworking news. I'm starting to hunger for...

    Shelf Design Questions...

    After I got the crib built back in July, the wife started in on wanting a changing table. Personally I don't see what's wrong with using the folding table we have now but SWMBO wants one bad, so I guess there is no alternative. I am building the table in a design to mirror the crib and it's...

    Design ideas for litter box cabinet

    I want to make a cabinet to house a cat litter box. Sort of like the one in the picture. Except I want the cabinet to have a single large pullout shelf. With fake doors on the front. And made of red oak, not mahogany. It will also double as a bird cage stand, not as an end table. So...

    Artist Table Design

    A lady I have done some work for in the past has asked me to help her design a larger table for her to do her painting on. Right now she has a table that is about 18"x36". She was originally thinking of just attaching a larger top, which is still an option, but the layout of the room really...

    Modern end table design

    I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on a modern style end table design I'm working on: The box is intended to be curly maple and the legs and drawer a hard maple, maybe bleached but at least lighter and with less contrast than the well-figured (dyed?) curly. The biggest...
