My first project was raising a wall cabinet three inches so that the refrigerator would fit. I also had to shorten the doors.
The doors had a groove pattern I was even able to match. You could never tell I changed the cabinets now. The funny thing is, I tried to match the groove in a different set of doors a few years later and couldn't remember how I did it.
The next project was a trash receptacle. It had a groove pattern to match the cabinets, and a lot of routing. The top lifts off, and when on, keeps the edges of the bag in place.
I kept building, and accumulating tools to accomplish new techniques. The pictures below are a few of the highlights in chronological order, mostly. If I had taken more pictures of my projects, I would have included them.
An airplane shelf. |
A baseball shelf. |
A fun project, as not one of the surfaces was square with any other surface. |
Honey-comb shelf. |
Sofa Table. I built this completely out of pieces I had lying around. All wood is sourced from 2x4's. All tile is scrap. |
And then I built another. Why stop at one? |
A rocket cut-out. All the lines between colors were groove routed. |
My biggest project by far - a built in window seat and book case. Crown molding, a vent, and baseboard have since been added. Not to mention, the ugly carpet was replaced. |
Thanks for looking!
