Wood Working

My Workshop

I have a home workshop of which I am quite proud. I started, years ago, with a single shop 12' by 16' in size used for both woodworking and electronics. As time went on, I was able to expand the shop into two areas, the original area used for woodworking alone, and a newer electronics area 12' by 6' used exclusively for electronics.

Kitchen Cabinets

Almost one year in the making, our kitchen has been completely rebuilt with homebuilt cabinets and doors. Craftsman style was chosen in which cabinets were of face frame construction (the frames were made of white oak and the cabinets of high-grade Baltic birch plywood). The oak for the frames was originally from 2" thick rough stock flattened and planed.

Upstairs Bathroom

My most recent woodworking project was renovating the upstair bathroom, the very last room in the house that was essentially original from the time we moved-in. The centerpiece is a custom-built oak vanity featuring a solid oak front and raised-panel doors, all built in the workshop.

Half-Deacon’s Bench

Another project completed a few years ago was a half-Deacon's bench for our hallway built with my father-in-law's help.
