I used to have a dining table, I still do, but I used to too. Anyway, there are a lot of moving pieces on this kitchen island, most notable is the transforming countertop. What?! Yeah, you heard me right! The upper waterfall countertop rotates allowing it to be either a regular bar top where you can sit next to your …
“Floating” Lumber Rack
Get the template to make your own! This lumber rack is “floating” in that each piece is attached to the wall separately and there is no main member between any of them. The benefit of this is a little bit of space savings against the wall, but also the fact that when boards are pushed all the way back, there …
Patchwork Plywood and Ebonized Oak Dresser
This dresser is made entirely from plywood, plus some reclaimed oak for the frame. Plywood is always a pain in the butt to haul though, so I decided to make the entire dresser with only 2’x4′ handy panels that I could get shipped to my house (Purebond plywood). This also gave me the ability to play with some really cool …

Floating Garage Storage Loft & Clamp Rack
A bit of time travel here! This organization project was from right after I moved into my DC shop. I didn’t have the miter saw and table saw set up, so everything was done with just a circular saw and drill. It was such a simple project that I’ve been sitting on the footage since then unsure of whether it …
Custom Media Table
This media table is a nice traditional looking piece with straight, square lines but with a few key details that really give it some great visual interest. The legs protrude through the top of the table and the material carries through horizontally to tie everything together. This is a media table for a buddy of mine. He’ll be storing his …

Each unit is 3′ wide and can be added or subtracted depending on how much room you want to each side of your saw, or how much storage you need. This could also …
Rustic Wall Crates (made from 50 year old Apple Bins!)
These wall crates were built to hold little knickknacks on the wall with a cool rustic display. They were built by reclaiming some wood from some old 50+ year old apple bins that had been decommissioned at an apple orchard in MA that a viewer of mine runs. There is some awesome cherry hidden under there!! I’ll definitely be planning …
Reclaimed Wood & Plastic Medicine Cabinets
Bathroom medicine cabinets made almost entirely from reclaimed materials. It’s a very unique design I came up with that has a small display window in the center and uses a weaved panel in the door. The H shaped pattern in the door run perpendicular to the shelves inside the cabinet. The main frame is made from salvaged pine which used …

The Facet Table
Don’t worry my irritable devotees, full build video forthcoming! There were too many worthy adversaries in the challenge that I didn’t make the cut. That’s good news for you though, here is the teaser for your viewing pleasure, young chap. The cabinet is made from 3/4″ poplar plywood with 1/4″ oak plywood on the back. The drawers use the same …
