The Shop and Projects

I thought I would start a blog for my woodworking to show the progress of my shop and post items I have made. So far, I have mostly made things for the shop such as cabinets, workbench, bench hook, etc. Here are some current pictures of my workshop and some items I have made.

Here is the workbench I made. This should be one of the first projects for any beginning woodworker. It is very important to have a good bench to clamp work down as I learned the hard way when I had a chisel slip and burried it into my hand requiring 12 stitches. Ouch!

Here are a couple of pictures of my bench hook. This is a very helpful jig to square boards with a hand plane. The second picture is squaring the legs and cleaning the tenons of the base for the bench I made above




Here is a box I made for my niece and filled it with wood blocks. I made the entire box with only hand tools and no power tools. This was a great learning experience!

Here are some cabinets I made for storage. They are huge but very functional.



I have recently been expanding my shop extensively. There will be a bunch of pictures to come to show the new tools, shop organization and projects.
