"Here's a picture of my "home-office" setup. Legs are pine and countertops are maple ply. Very handy all around.

"Here's a jewelry dresser built for the better half. Made of birch and stained with Verathane. Bottom 3 drawers are for unmentionables. I'm out of the doghouse for a while yet!!"

"This is an oak storage cabinet for my niece. She will use it to store her art supplies. Built of red oak and stained with Verathane Antique American then coated with clear Verathane. Size is approx 30"H x 24"W x 20"D."

"Here are a crib I built for my daughter in birch with a verathane finish and a bed for my grandson. He was the first occupant of the crib. It's in pine with a verathane finish."

"Here's a Pine Buffet and Hutch built as a wedding present for a cousin. It's all Pine (and glass) coated with semi-gloss Verathane."

"Here's a new one. It's a dining room buffet that I built for my daughter. It's made of birch with a mixture of stains and covered with Verathane. Features include a lit top and a sliding table that comes out just above the drawers to extend the table space. The wine rack is built in but removable."

"This TV Stand is made of Cherry. It's stained with a Flecto mixture and laquered with Verathane and is for my daughter."

"Built for my eldest son, and made mostly of Pine with
a Verathane Cherry Stain.  Accommodates a 32" TV."

"This is a photo of a pantry that I built for the BOSS.  It is 30 in wide by 24 in deep and 84 in high.  Built mostly of birch ply with standard drawer slides.  It has proven very useful and has provided me with many "Stay out of the doghouse" credits."

"This is a coffee table I built for our basement rec room.  It is made of pine and verathaned.  I used laminated panels for the top and tongue-in-groove wainscotting boards for the sides.  It has a drawer at each end for video tapes, games etc...  It measures 36" x 36" x 18" high."

"This is built of Pine with a "Honey Pine" finish from Minwax and a coat of Verathane. Comes in two pieces.  Total size is 70 in wide by 22 in. deep at the base .  It is 84 in. high.  Top part has built-in lights.  Bottom part has a swivel TV stand on the top RS side.  Light switch is hidden under base of top portion. Drawers are pine with dovetailed corners.  Drawer bottoms are birch veneer.  Drawer slides are standard metal side sliders."

"My wife is into quilting (she's retired also) so I built this quilt rack for her to display her wares.  It's regular size.  The ends are stained and verathaned pine (Cherry finish).  The rods are 3/4 in. hardwood dowels held in by screws.  Had fun building this.  Not too large a project but lots of curves."

"This is a "Craftman" style dresser that I built for my daughter-in-law last year. It is built of Pine and stained with "Colour Your World" stuff (that they don't sell anymore) and coated with 3 layers of Verathane.  It is all glued and pocket-hole screwed. Hardware came from Lee Valley. About 66" long by 20" deep."

"This is the man's dresser that goes with the lady's.  Also built of Pine and stained like the other one.  It is 72" tall and 39" wide and 20" deep at the base.  Comes apart at the middle for ease of transportation.  Because the top of the bottom part is fully finished, the two pieces can be used separately."

"The desk is made of white pine. The top is made of two laminated pine sheets that have been glued together. This project contains many glued and screwed joints.  My Kreg Jig was used extensively for pocket-hole joining.

The size is approximately 36" x 54" x 40" total height. It's finished with 4 coats of Verathane and is great for an Apple computer."

"This is a photo of a change table I built last year for my daughter.  The size is standard.  It was built with birch and coated with 3 coats of Verathane.  All joints are glued and screwed. Special features include two sliding shelves under the table that facilitate access to diapers etc.  Also, two small removeable wood baskets (one on each side) that hold soaps, lotions etc. The plan was home-drawn."
