Many of you may have seen this project on my YouTube channel. After looking at it again, I decided to re-edit it into a shorter version. Its a cool project, but I think it was too long. Posting two-part videos doesnt seem to work on YouTube, as was the case with this. I can look at the stats and most people drop out after the first half. Its taken me a while to figure out that people can cut to the...

One evening a friend of my daughters was talking about some workbench plans he had percolating in his head. He asked if I could get him a few pieces of scrap wood from work. However, as we discussed his ideas for how to build a workbench, I realized that this would be a great project to develop for Totally Free Woodworking Plans. His idea was to build a workbench that actually doubled as a giant toolbox....

Ive got something of a backlog I want to catch up on this week.Sergio Jimenez (you may recall his homemade speaker brackets back in April) decided to make his own familiar-looking adjustable push stick. Of course, I recommend MicroJigs Grr-Ripper, but I love it when anyone looks at something and says, "hmmm...I think I can make something like that."...
Please welcome Micro Jig as a new sponsor to the show! Great products and people.*****For Valentines Day, I decided to make a heart-shaped box with a little extra. It has a tray area, for sorting change, holding rings or whatever. I wanted the design to flow together as one unit and repeat the sweeping arcs of the heart shape.If youve made a band saw...

Im not exactly sure how or when I came up with the idea to build a knick knack shelf in the shape of a barn. My oldest daughter has a small collection of horse figures and somehow the idea seeped into my brain that they needed a barn to live in. Since my daughter is growing out of the toy stage, a barn shaped knick knack shelf seemed the way to go. My wife helped me get the overall look and size of...
I have more Spring projects to post, but decided it wasnt fair to include them along side of such filth at Teds Woodworking. Keep those Spring projects rolling in, though! Ill post some more tomorrow, Easter. That seems appropriate.The tangled web of woodworking plan piracy just gets deeper and deeper. I am convinced at this point that Clickbank.com is in bed with Ted, so-to-speak. They have no concern...
Just finished this weekends project. Im not sure what to call it, other than "clipboard box". This actually started out when I got the desire to do a woodworking video in verse (dont ask), then come up with a useful project. So this is the product of that design.If you are interested in the verse, its pretty strict iambic pentameter. Three, 14-line sonnets with rhyming couplets at the end...

Show me your blood!Oops! Well, at least I can Tweet this!There is an ugly trend among online woodworkers that is not just distasteful, but a good way to frighten away new woodworkers. I call it woodworking porn. For some reason, woodworkers seem to get off on posting graphic photos and videos of woodworking injuries they have sustained. The bloodier...
God makes work for idle hands...My favourite tool manufacturer is Lie Nielson basically because those few tools I have purchased so far have been amazing both in quality, initial set up and overall performance.A stark contrast to the new Stanley Planes (a no#6 & no#4), I bought only a few months ago back in August. I wish I had realised that Stanley was no longer a quality name in tools...
There are several "hand-tool-only" woodworkers creating videos, but Chriss videos are something special to watch: they are well-paced and never dull. While most of us will probably not become hand-tool purists, we can marvel at his techniques and approach to woodworking. No boring step-by-step instruction here but rather inspiration for everyone, even...
