Greetings from a fellow woodworker,

My-Wooden-Creations is the place where woodworkers, beginner or advanced, meet to share tips and tricks.

You can follow the chronicles of the wooden projects we build. Watch the videos as we complete different portions or steps in a project. You'll see both the good and the bad, we promise.

Most of us work in a vaccuum, meaning we do not get to share our ideas with each other. Here, we'll share our ideas with you, and you can share yours too. Have a look around and enjoy!!

Creating a jig to match curved surfaces for gluing

Current Project

A desk for our bedroom

The bedroom-desk is a smaller version of a dining table I built a few months ago. I liked it so well, that I decided to shrink it down and build this project.

Construction of the table top is fairly straight forward. I am going to build an outer frame from 3" wide mahogany. A rabbet will be cut around the interior of the frame to set the table top into. After the interior of the table is secured, using a router, I will rout a 1/4" wide by 1/8" deep groove around the table to place a band of purple heart.

The legs will require 6 bent laminations. Putting the leg assembly together will be done using floating tenons. This means there will be a lot of mortises. To make the job easier I built a jig that will allow cutting the mortises quick and easy. Once the bent laminations are complete and cleaned up, I will have to use a couple jigsI built to make sure that when I glue the bent lamination to the center upright, you will not be able to see a seam.

My Dream Workshop...My place of solace..My escape

This is it. My dream workshop. My place of solace.
My escape from all the estrogen. That's right. I have a wife, a mother, a daughter and four granddaughters all on the same street. Sometimes, it is just too much to handle. I do have a son. He must be the smart one, because he lives across town.

When this all started I was considering buying a Harley, but decided on a workshop. The shop has been fun, but I believe the Harley would have been cheaper. The shop grabbed my wallet and would not let go until I had filled the shop to the brim. The next time you are considering what size shop you should build, double it. You will be glad you did.
