Space I Make

My workbench has always anchored me. It’s the epicentre of my work, the hub from which all of the pieces I ever made came from. The designs for US senators and then too even a US President and the Permanent Collection of the Whitehouse pieces I designed came from no place fancy at all. Mostly […]

Garden Benches & More Beyond

The weeks pass quickly as I make, write, film, draw, plan and design. Behind the scenes other things go on too. I design for other situations too. A birdhouse here, possibly other simple things for others to make there. Across from me someone is making a table, beautifully, like poetry. Someone else new to woodworking […]

Common Woodworking?

Why Common Woodworking came about is because I felt we needed something that could build yet another bridge. I wanted to span the ever-increasing gap between those who only ever reach for the on/off buttons and those who’ve discovered skilled methods of working wood that are not in any way primitive or out of date. […]

Don’t Gang Up On Me

From time to time, whether in a class or online, someone asks the age old question, “Can’t you put several dovetail pieces together and cut several dovetails all at once?” I usually ask them why they would and the answer’s are always the same. “Speed! Saves on repeat layouts. Gets the job done!” That sort […]

Round Oak Table with Osmo Polyx-Oil Pure

My brother in law Jason and his family recently moved to Colorado. That means I have a new shop helper and he has a new house that is in need of furniture. When I saw their small round kitchen table in its new larger home, I knew we had to do something. The original top was only 36″ in diameter and actually looked oddly small for the base it sat on. So I offered to make them a new 48″ top that would also match their newly-refinished red oak floors. A quick weekend project!

Here are some of the products shown in the video.
