Furniture

Below are thumbnails of some of the projects that I have completed. Most of these (actually almost all) were done in my bedroom of my apartment with some work completed in the kitchen. I got started in this because my Yankee upbringing rebels against paying a lot of money for poorly executed furniture and I hate to see my friends getting sub-par stuff. Plus I enjoy it. Recently my downstairs neighbors complained that I was vibrating the building so I have moved my operations to my brother's basement ( a few miles away). I use hand tools exclusively - mostly non-power. I think they are safer and also more fun to work with. They are slower and more forgiving - when you make a mistake, it tends to be less of a catastrophe!

There are several pieces that are not included here because I haven't found/taken the pictures for them:
