I started exactly where one should start when trying to design a Lego dresser, with actual Logo bricks of course. For this dresser design, I opted for four standard 2x4 Lego bricks and two standard 1x4 Lego bricks. The feet are attached using some 1x1 studs or snot (studs not on top) pieces.

Cane webbing, with its rich texture and inherent flexibility, has become one of my favorite elements to incorporate into woodworking projects, and I have used it in the past two builds. It offers a blend of vintage charm and modern appeal that can transform the simplest piece into a statement.

There's a practical side to variably spaced dovetails. By changing up the width and spacing, you can strengthen specific parts of the joint, giving it extra durability where it's needed most. This is super useful for joints that need to handle a lot of stress like heavy drawer boxes.

In woodworking, the terms "bowtie” and "butterfly key" are often used interchangeably to describe a small, hourglass-shaped piece of wood used to reinforce cracks or join pieces of wood together. Despite their different names, both serve the same purpose: providing structural support and adding a decorative element to woodworking projects.

Hey there, woodworking enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the world of three-way miter joints—a super cool and visually stunning way to join three pieces of wood. I used this joint for creating the base of a cabinet hutch, giving it a sleek and modern look. Before we dive into the how-to, let's chat about why 3-way miter joints are awesome.

I am going to go over a particularly neat method to achieve that rich, dark finish: using quebracho tea and iron acetate. It’s not only cool but also kinder to the planet. Quebracho comes loaded with tannins, and when you mix it up with some homemade iron acetate (don't worry, it’s just steel wool and vinegar), you get a natural black stain that’s seriously durable and absolutely gorgeous.

I’ll show you everything you need to know about building a cabinet. In part 1 of this series, I go over how to build the cabinet carcass from hardwood. For this one, I used both white oak and walnut. Follow along with the series to see the whole cabinet system come together.

So today, I’ll delve into the intricacies of building a grill station crafted from Sapele and Eucalyptus hardwoods meticulously designed to accommodate a Kamado grill. From selecting the best wood for outdoor use to mastering mortise and tenon joinery techniques, and ensuring proper water drainage, every aspect of this project is aimed at achieving durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

This piece combines the beauty of walnut and white oak hardwood, delivering a striking contrast. I've also incorporated some pretty advanced woodworking techniques to make it quite unique. From dovetailed drawers, to inlays, and even custom-made brass drawer pulls, this project pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship.

When it comes to cabinets, the decision between plywood and hardwood is pivotal. Plywood, with its layers of thin wood pieces glued together, offers stability against warping—ideal for the cabinet’s body and shelves. Hardwood, on the other hand, introduces the charm of natural wood grain and is best suited for the front face of the cabinet, delivering a beautiful and sturdy surface.

I am not a big fan of the French cleat tool wall. It doesn’t allow for a tight layout and takes up more space than it saves in most cases. So, with that in mind, I decided to create custom hanging solutions for each of my layout tools.

In keeping with this modern style, I wanted the table top to appear to be floating. To achieve this, I designed the table legs to go through the top of the table, exposing the end grain. This allows for the table legs to extend past the threshold of the table top and reinforces the elegance of the profile.

Imagine infusing your personality and creativity into this timeless game by crafting your very own Backgammon board. This project aims to guide you through the rewarding process of constructing a wooden Backgammon board and adding a personalized touch with a custom screen-printed design. Not only will you create a functional game board, but you'll also have a unique piece of art that reflects your style and flair.

One of the significant advantages of using wood veneer is its ability to create stunning visuals while minimizing the cost of using solid wood. Veneer is also more environmentally friendly, as it maximizes the use of a single log by creating multiple sheets, reducing waste. Additionally, its thinness makes it highly flexible and easy to apply, making it an ideal choice for weatherproofing wood surfaces with epoxy on plywood, as we will explore in this guide.

Knockdown furniture is the epitome of versatility as it is designed to be effortlessly assembled and disassembled. Its modular nature not only simplifies transportation but also ensures convenient storage. Picture the convenience of Ikea furniture but with an upgraded quality that guarantees durability and style.

Are you on the fence about using plywood to build custom furniture? From sleek and stylish dining room tables, headboards to sideboards, plywood can be an affordable and durable choice for furniture projects.

Building a chair can be a daunting task for many woodworkers. It requires a lot of precision and can be dangerous if not done correctly. Chairs are made up of many different parts, and each part must be the correct size and shape in order for the chair to look good and be both stable and comfortable. If parts are not made correctly, the chair could collapse or be uncomfortable, which is a major problem.

I built sound diffuser panels using characters from Super Mario Bros. on NES. I made the sound diffuser art using 6 different types of wood and this woodworking project required me to cut over 1200 wooden blocks.

I designed this wall cabinet using the golden ratio, which gives the cabinet a beautiful visual balance and weight. As for the wood for this one, I used walnut and cherry hardwood.

Today I’m going show you how to build a modern headboard. For this woodworking project, I used stopped dados and walnut hardwood to create a seamless 3D wave design. The organic feel in the wooden waves was achieved by using a combination of a bandsaw, spokeshave, and some other hand tools.
