I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?

Our bathroom has very little extra floor space so the scale has been leaning up against the wall....

I mentioned that the sawstop was "being more of a shit than usual" and this is what I walked by on my way out later that day. Godspeed, Tim

I was checking to see how a 3/4" dog hole would look in a vise jaw made from two 3/4" pieces of plywood. Just clamped for the test, but would be glue for the real thing. Interesting to see the hole opened up. And luckily no splitting, but do you think it would work as an actual vise jaw? This is for a Veritas quick release front...

1/4" piano wire point, random copper pipe ball peen hammered, candle wax buffed finish except for the rightmost one which is tung oil. Took one spindle turning project previously. Following Mike Peace's video.

I built a pedal board to use in my band (lake effect is in the band name); it’s basically a box with a slot to route power out of, and to the velcro’d down pedals on top....

I know it's pretty basic but doing the laminated top has really been kicking my butt. I chose to make it from pine as she repairs rugs and sometimes needs to nail them to her bench and this should be easy to nail into and pull the nails back out of. I'm going to apply some poly to the top and hopefully I can finally sign off on...

It has seen some water damage and the varnish is flaking off (especially on the top). But I don't necessarily have the time/energy for a full strip/sand/refinish, especially as this may get dinged up; I'm just looking for a reasonably pleasing look....

Maple/mahogany stave drum I made for my drummer.

I had an old can of poly in the basement, and decided to give it a try. Thin crust on top, poured kind of like egg whites. But after mixing with mineral spirits it seemed smooth, and the result on my new plywood workbench top is smooth and fully cured as far as I can tell....

Just made this sectional following the plans from Ana White....

And toolmaking, the gouge was hand-fashioned from some vanadium steel.

I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…...

Part of a larger project I’m working on, which takes the “waste sawdust” and grows a Reishi mushroom out of it.

Some light carving out of pine on a strike day. If the boss wont scratch my back, I guess I gotta do it my self. Finished with light touch of chestnut colour staining varnish....

I spent a lot of time working on it and it's still kinda rough but im curious what you think!

Dowel running the length of it right down through the handle. Used string to compress the foam. Fed it into the tube and unwound so the foam expanded to wedge it in there so the tube can be replaced....

I decided to sand down the top, drawer front, and low shelf edges, but leave the spindles alone. I tried to match the stain but the one I bought (and tried on a hidden area) came out too red, so I skipped staining. Luckily several coats of poly ended up close enough....

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats....

I built this table for my sister-in-law back in 2016. She had just moved into her first home and asked if I would could maybe build a small farmhouse style table....
