Arched Top Guitar
Here is a description of my home guitar building project. I'm also taking guitar lessons, trying to learn jazz and blues. by the time I get done with this project I might actually be able to play a thing or two that people actually recognize. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I would love to hear them
 
Artist Easel
For the budding artist, wooden artist easel project plan.
 
Artists Easel
Earlier this year I was vaguely considering purchasing an artist's easel, but a very cursory look in the local art shop soon put a stop to this idea: easels are expensive! Quite why they cost so much is beyond me as they are a very simple construction (let's face it, the average easel consists of three sticks for legs, with a couple of horizontal pieces to hold the artwork up). So, rather than buying one, I decided that it would be far more fun to design and build it.
 
Arts and Crafts Bookcase
A bookcase is a good project for the beginning woodworker because it?s relatively uncomplicated and its dimensions may be adapted to fit a variety of decorating schemes
 
Arts and Crafts Desk
In this episode of DIY Wood Works, host David Marks builds a library desk inspired by the arts-and-crafts style. With its straight lines, and the dramatic color and texture of the wood, this functional design is characterized by simplicity and subtle strength.
 
Arts and Crafts Globe Stand
When I visited my local map store, the globe-stand selection ran the gamut from traditional nautical themes to modern metal sculpture. What I was really looking for, a simple Arts & Crafts-inspired piece, was lacking from the lineup. I decided that the only way that I would be happy with the new addition to my living room was to buy a globe separately and come up with my own base.
 
Arts and Crafts Style Bookcase
As the saying goes, there?s nothing like good books. But they can present some storage problems--especially if you like to keep them after you?ve read them. Wall-mounted shelves are a common storage solution for all this bound wisdom.
 
Arts and Crafts Style Side Table
This handsome table is a truly versatile piece of furniture. Because of its compact size, you can use it as an end table for a sofa or chair and even as a night stand alongside your bed. But its sturdy design and appealing lines make it work equally well as a console table in the hallway or an occasional table in the kitchen or bath.
 
Bandsaw a Floral Wonder Ikebana Vase
A great gift that you can bandsaw to shape in a flash.
 
Baseball Bat Towel Bar
Taking inspiration from the baseball-themed bathroom, Fox made a towel bar using wood instead of a real bat with similar results.


 
Bird - Wood Duck Nest Box
How to Build a Wood Duck Nest Box by Dick Vaught - ?1983 by the Conservation Commission of the State of Missouri
 
Birdhouse Paper Towel Holder
Our camper trailer just doesn?t have a good place to mount one of those plastic paper towel holders so I decided to make one for the counter. This is a simple project that requires a little imagination.
 
Blackout Lamp
A very useful as well as attractive project for the craftsman.
 
Blanket - Arts and Crafts Style Chest
Reminiscent of the arts-and-crafts style, the case for the chest in this episode of Wood Works is made from solid walnut and features dovetail joinery. The figured walnut lid is book-matched, then framed in purpleheart wood; and the purpleheart base has a traditional step profile that is shaped using a router template
 
Blind Depth Gauge for Dust Collection Cyclone Barrels
By Grant in Iowa - Since the bin is under vacuum, the small air leaks around the dowel should be insignificant to system efficiency. You can then mark the dowel like a dipstick: ?Empty?, ?1/2 full?, ?Full?, and ?Holy schtick!?
 
Blue Jay Pattern
This pattern is designed to be a full scale pattern for the experienced crafts hobbyist. The author makes no warranties or representations as to the ease of assembly or suitability of the finished project for any intended purpose.
 
Bluegrass-style 5-string Musical Instrument - Banjo
Visit this site on how to build a bluegrass-style five-string banjo.
 
Bodhran - Celtic Traditional Drum Drum
Detailed pages on how to make A Bodhran drum.
 
Bookend Scroll Patterns
When it came to designing the scroll saw patterns for these bookends, I had a couple ideas but needed some help putting them on paper. So I asked one of our Senior Illustrators if he would take a shot at turning my ideas into workable scroll saw patterns.
 
Bookends (Teddy Bear)
These delightful Teddy Bear Bookends are a perfect addition to any child's room. Your hard work and thoughtfulness will not go unnoticed when giving these as a gift. With this simple project, learn and practice the techniques and procedures used by expert woodworkers. The experience you gain from sawing wood, working with diagrams, sanding and staining will prepare you for more advanced wood projects in the future.
