Wood Works - Arts and Crafts-style Nightstand
|
|
Based on the design motifs of the arts and crafts style of the 1920s, the mission table in this Wood Works project features strong horizontal lines, mortise-and-tenon joinery and a natural wood finish. Quarter-sawn white oak makes for a distinctive grain pattern that is a trademark of this period style, and subtle details such as the beveled through-tenons add to the refined look of the piece.

The footprint of the ladder gives you solid support, and the steps and top are set into dado grooves and fastened with screws. To hide the screw heads, proud tenon caps are cut from rosewood, beveled and set into square mortises. For a decorative touch, strips of rosewood cap the front of each step

Wood Works - Woodturned Vessel
|
|
In this episode, host David Marks demonstrates a hollowing technique for creating a wooden vessel on the lathe. Using a set of tools especially customized for hollowing, he fashions a vessel out of black walnut. A fixture on the lathe called a steady rest is used to hold the solid walnut block, while a special hand-tool is used to bore and hollow out the inside of the block. To give the vessel a refined look and highlight the grain pattern, it is finished with tung oil.

Wooden Teak Door Mat
|
|
You can build this wooden mat in a couple of hours, and it will serve you well for many years. The segmented design lets the mat lay flat, even on irregular surfaces. I used teak because of its beautiful grain and durability. For a more economical alternative consider white oak or ash.

Yard Art - Duck Family Lawn Ornaments
|
|
This is a cute little project that will make your garden look like a fun place to be. It comes from Marilyn?s dad Frank who made these many years ago. They are simple enough that the kids could help make them for Father?s Day. If they do help be sure to supervise them to keep them safe.

Yard Art - Flying Duck
|
|
This is a wonderful project suggested by Ann one of our newsletter readers. We found an old and broken one to make a pattern from and then modified it a little. This project looks deceiving simple. There is a lot of tedium in getting the wing holes in the right place and the right weight. Once you get it right it looks great and is a real conversation piece.

Yard Art - Gingerbread Man Lawn Ornament
|
|
The template to create your own wood Ginger Bread Man Lawn Ornament follows this introductory page. The final figure is about 20-1/2? tall and 14-1/4? wide. When the template is pieced together, all that is necessary is to cut on the outer border to complete the general shape. Routering the top edge will create a soft bevel for a more complete, finished look. Sand and paint like the finished sample shown, add a ground stake to the back, and your done!

Yard Art - Wooden Runner Duck
|
|
What better project for us than to create a wooden RunnerDuck for your garden. This duck is great to put in any garden or yard. The good news is you don?t have to clean up after it. The bad news is that it won?t eat your slugs.
