Woodworking plans |
Each of these plans has an accompanying article showing the actual construction of the project.
The plans were drawn in Sketchup, For most plans, the SketchUp model is included, so you can check out different views of the projects and parts.
Cantilevered nightstand
Large knock-down table for social occasions
The pantorouter is a template based tenon cutting machine that
has all kinds of uses for cutting intricate wood joints
A larger version of my pantorouter designed to accommodate
plunge routers. Larger range of motion, but takes up more space.
A homemade bandsaw does not have to be a compromise.
A homemade 20" bandsaw, with 13" (34 cm) resaw capacity,
and large enoughto take sawmill blades.
A homemade 26" bandsaw, with 15" (38 cm) resaw capacity,
and large enoughto take sawmill blades.
Supports weight of the router, allowing depth of cut control
by the template, also unobstructed view of the work.
A router lift that tilts up to 45°.
This really expands the options for creating custom
molding, even with basic router bit sets.
Uses a screw and gears to precisely space cuts for box and
finger joints. Cuts up to eight boards at once.
A router copy carver. Copies complex 3D shapes.
Four axis (router can tilt), and stores
more compact than commercial machines.
A slot mortising machine using a router. Easy to set
up, and cuts cleaner and faster than most other
mortisers.
Cut both sides of a tenon wih the flip of a lever, no flipping
the work piece for faster, more accurate tenons.
A table saw dovetail jig.
Smaller than a regular dust collector, quieter and lower power than a shop-vac.
A 12" jointer built using parts salvaged from an a cheap 12" thickness
planer. Easy for two people to carry.
Table saw based on a circular saw, with a more
robust way to mount the saw and easy depth adjustment mechanism
A 6" x 48" belt sander, can be used as regular belt sander
or flipped on its side to use as an edge belt sander
Interchangeable platens allow sanding of convex and concave curves,
Does work of spindle sanders with less dust and faster.
This Lathe can be used to turn spindles or bowls
up to 26 cm. Weighing just 20 pounds without motor,
it's easy to store on a shelf.
A non-tilting wooden router lift. This is my older design before
I came up with the tilting version.
Enlarge your woodworking plans to 1:1. A program for
making full-scale multi-page printouts from drawings and
CAD models
My gear template generator makes printable paper templates for
cutting gears out of plywood with a bandsaw. Many also use it
with CNC routers.
Marble run blocks build marble runs
Wooden air engine Runs off vacuum cleaner
Marble machine 2.1
