Small snack box and pen holder set for my desk. I love the grain and curl pattern on the Anigre veneer.

A couple of side tables I designed a few months ago and recently finished making. I used figured Anigre veneer for the top and walnut for the rest.

Finished up this privacy screen today. No need to "blur" the background in online meetings anymore, I can just hide the mess behind it! 😅
The frames, the woven thin strips, and the vertical dowels are all made from 2x4s.

Pair of side tables I've been working on. The legs are tapered and angled so cutting the mortise and tenon joinery was a bit of a challenge. Next I need to make the top and figure out how to attach it.

The time you spend making clamping cauls, is nothing compared to the time you save and frustration-free glue up you get as a result.

Jewelry box I made for my amazing sister.

It's been a while!

Do yourself a favour, and find a neighbour with a laser cutter 😉

Thicknessing the back

My basement shop was getting too messy, so spent some time organizing and added a clamprack, shelves, and a tool wall. I like the idea of a toolwall more than putting the tools in drawers, as they're within reach yet out of the way.

A place for everything and everything in its place. 😉
