I will start it off with a project I made a while back. I wanted a large footstool for my living room. I needed one that could store remotes, game controllers and the other loose living room stuff. Realizing that one would cost somewhere between 600-800 dollars for what I wanted, I made one.

It's 3 feet by 3 feet. I made it from oak. I hand cut all of the mortise and tenon joints. (for those who don't know, it's a square hole in one piece and a square peg on the other, it makes a strong joint.)

I basically built up each individual piece and glued each side together. Once I had four sides built, I jointed and glued them together as well. I put a plywood bottom in it, and lined the inside with felt.

I made the top out of plywood as well. I went to the fabric store and bought cushioning foam and fabric. Using those two, I padded and covered the top.

As an added thing, I concealed wheels underneath it so it pushes around easily. I had enough lumber left over to make a try that I can set drinks on.

holy smokes that looks great!

Very nice. Wish my shop was big enough for the equipment to do some real woodworking. (I have a 1/2 car garage for my workshop. Very small stuff only.)

I did it all in my two car garage. I had to do most of the stuff by hand due to my lack of sophisticated tools.

looks really good. I take it you either have previous wood working experience?

These are a couple of kilns I have built/am building. The large longish one is a woodfire kiln, and the smaller boxy one is a soda kiln fired on WVO... Nearly finished with that one, really just need to put up the rest of the steel, a roof over it, and mount the burner system.



As you can tell from the pictures, photography is not my strong qsuit.

This last photo is the back of the woodkiln while its at ~2000 degrees. I also built the "chandelier" hanging next to the kiln

@ shotgun:
I didn't have much woodworking experience of this kind, mostly framing walls and stuff like that. I got a book on building furniture from my local library and used it for help.

@blacklines

Looks like you have a decent shop. And it's nice to see that someone else on
UER besides me will admit that photography isn't their strong suit.
