This modern bread box uses mortise and tenon joinery with other traditional woodworking techniques and tools. It features a two-tiered bread box enclosure that can hold two loaves of bread, and has two drawers to store your jams, jellies, and spreads.

Let’s build an outdoor chaise lounge chair! I went with four-quarter cypress for this outdoor furniture project as it is a rot-resistant wood, but you can use any wood you like. I recommend using something that will hold up to the elements, though, as this piece will surely see its fair share of weather.

This full length mirror incorporates a storage drawer and the mirror pivots so you can adjust its position. I used some fun woodworking techniques like rounded miters, stopped dados, and a bunch of other woodworking tricks to achieve the waterfall grain pattern I was looking for.

Check out how to make these bent lamination pendant lights! This method of bending wood involves making a form and gluing up thin strips of wood veneers to achieve the bend you are looking for.

The stand also features a bridle joint and attaches to the concrete base with a tenon. And that cool (or warm) orange metal cover hides a seed starting heat mat resting in the concrete tray. Using metal allows the heat from the mat to transfer to the seed starting trays, providing the much-needed heat for seeds! And that frame around the seed trays is not just for looks. Some seeds need serious heat to germinate (I'm looking at you, pepper plants), so this wood frame also helps insulate the trays as well. Let's make seed starting look good!

This modern birdhouse project is awesome! It is made for any beginner to intermediate woodworker. The birds would love you for it!

These shelves combine the ever-popular floating wall shelf with a picture frame border. These make a great addition to a gallery wall or by themselves for you to display pictures, knick-knacks, and trinkets!

Today, I am building a modern bench with a shelf that has a unique lean to it. It is inspired by the simple yet elevated Japanese woodworking and design style. This bench is great for an entryway or doubles as extra seating and a shelf in smaller spaces. The design relies on a bit of physics and a couple of wall anchors to stay standing.

This portable puzzle mat and board game table locks into a lazy susan base and was a lot of fun to build. I have seen plenty of gaming tables or puzzle boards out there, but nothing that could easily be folded and stored. This foldable piece is beautiful, sturdy, and functional as it can be used with or without the lazy susan base. And the folding butler hinges means we can use it pretty much anywhere. I know my son is going to love it as he builds and plays for years to come.

I made this shop table because I needed a table for my CNC, but this can be used as an outfeed table or assembly table - the options are endless. It would also be super easy to adjust the size to whatever would fit best in your woodshop and for your own needs.

It was about time that I made a few upgrades to my workshop since I hadn’t done any in a while. One of the first things I wanted to do was to make an extra-large crosscut sled. There are tons of advantages and one of them is that you can cut wider material but this also allows for longer cuts as well. I also made it this size to accommodate full-length cabinets.

This Modern Coat Rack was super fun to build! It features retracting hanger and an excellent flush wall mounting system. I have seen a lot of coat rack and hat rack videos out there but nothing quite like this. I designed this piece to look like a piece of art rather than just a board on the wall with homemade dowels supporting the hidden hangers.

This Modern Sofa Table was a ton of fun to build! It is a perfect sofa side table and fits the mid-century modern style to a T. To build this c-shaped table, I used many different woodworking techniques. The slats are held in with dominos, but you could use dowels or attach a thin strip on the underside to support the top. I created router templates and used a flush-trim bit at the router table to create the shapes for the tapered legs and base.

In this build, I show you how to make a modern console table. I built this console table to have plenty of space to display books, trinkets, accent pieces, and plants. And the minimalistic design of this console table will help make them stand out. This table is great for an entryway, hallway, or living room, and it will complement most design styles.

In this build, I show how to make this ergonomic kneeling chair! The kneeling chair design is based on the original Variable Balans from the 1970’s. I decided to make this dynamic kneeling chair out of ash, but this could easily be made from plywood or any other hardwood. And with the addition of 3-inch cloud-like cushions (high density foam) for the shin rests and seat with an angle, rocking back and forth on this kneeling chair can make even the busiest of workdays a bit more comfortable!

Building these Modern Bar Stools was a fun challenge to undertake. The barstools we had were hand-me-downs from the 90s that were given to us from my in-laws. So, it was definitely time for an update.
