When it comes to woodworking projects, I suppose my daughter is my number one customer. At least, she asks me to make her the most projects and they tend to be very specific requests. So when she asked about getting a hutch/shelf for her fair small IKEA desk, I figured she might find some matching… Continue reading Maple Desk Hutch
Kitchen Pans Storage
In every kitchen, finding a way to store pots, pans, lids, and so on is a problem. Well, maybe just piling them all up in a lower cabinet isn’t the problem. That is, until you need the big, heavy one on the bottom! To further complicate things in our kitchen, the big cabinet under the… Continue reading Kitchen Pans Storage
Pizza Oven
I made my very first wood-fired pizza! I’ve always been a fan of pizza and I’ve made pizza at home since I was a teenage (okay, Chef Boyardee kits count, right?). I’ve made my own dough and even tried my hand at my own sauce before. Angela and I upgraded to a pizza stone years… Continue reading Pizza Oven
Painting Frame
Fine woodworking! Well, my woodworking at about the finest I have gotten yet, anyway. My wife and I purchased a painting from a friend of ours in the late Fall. Our whole family had been wanting to buy one of his pieces for some time1. We finally decided on the piece titled “Joy to the Wold”.… Continue reading Painting Frame
Bathroom Shelves
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jason Coleman (@super_structure) I didn’t add this on Instagram, but it may be worth explaining a bit more detail. The birch was leftover from some hardwood edge banding I used elsewhere in my daughter’s room (more on that once that project is complete). The board was… Continue reading Bathroom Shelves
Router Table Cart
I purchased a Bosch router table as it had essentially everything I need out of a router table at a cheaper price than buying components individually. It’s a “benchtop” model, but when placed on a standard bench the table top then sits at about armpit level, which is probably not the safest method to use… Continue reading Router Table Cart
So Much Storage
We moved to our new home back in late June. The irony of having so many projects to do at a new house is that there’s not quite as much time to write about them afterwards. And there have been a lot of projects. Mostly around storage and organizing. That means a lot of shelves… Continue reading So Much Storage
Sliding Mixer Shelf
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jason Coleman (@super_structure) Some additional details on this little project: the shelf was a piece of scrap 3/4″ maple plywood my little brother gave me. I didn’t want to take the time to edge band the entire thing and I figured a small lip on the… Continue reading Sliding Mixer Shelf
We’re Moving (Pianos!?)
No, not the site. It’s not been updated but just because I’ve been extra busy (and/or lazy). Rather, our family is moving to a new home. As part of the effort, I decided I should just bite the bullet and purchase a small trailer. We need to put a lot of items into storage for this… Continue reading We’re Moving (Pianos!?)
Batch Production
I made some small tablet/phone stands as Christmas gifts for family. Though they’re relatively simple, making a dozen of the exact same piece required thinking ahead. I used a 7′ (-ish) section of 1x4 poplar from the Home Depot. This was S4S lumber, so it was a good piece to start with. I didn’t have to… Continue reading Batch Production
