Flat-screen TV Stand in a Weekend

Steve Shanesy — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:24:06 +0000

My wife and I recently moved after 22 years to a smaller (read that: “downsized”) home of a very different style than our old Victorian. I’d call our new place International Style, Modern or just Contemporary. Such a change prompts a raft of considerations when it comes to furnishings. My list of things to build … Read more »

I Can Do That: Stacking Bookcases

Robert W. Lang — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:48:28 +0000

Make Boxes to fit your books – and your spaceBy Robert W. Lang Pages 22-23From the June 2011 issue #190 Buy this issue nowThe typical bookcase is a good example of poor design. We make them that way because that’s the way we’ve always made them; almost every plan you see is 12" deep, yet few books require that much space. Most bookcases are heavy and a pain to move. These stacking bookcases solve those problems, and won’t take long to build. Plan: Download the free SketchUp plan for the stacking bookcases.

I Can Do That: Tool Rack

Swiped from a French engraving, this rack works in your shop or even in your kitchen.By Christopher Schwarz Pages: 26-27From the April 2011 issue #189 Buy this issue nowIt’s good to keep your tools protected (think: tool chest). But it’s also good to keep them handy (think: at arm’s reach). My favorite way to accomplish both goals is a stout tool rack. I’ve made many tool racks since I became a woodworker, most of them crude affairs that were cobbled together in a few minutes. I’ve always wanted a rack that both looks good and is easy to build. Then, while browsing a French book on vintage handplanes, I saw it. PDF of "Tool Rack" Video: Watch a free video tour of the author’s shop at home.

I Can Do That: Victorian Side Table

Pattern routing makes quick and easy work of these urn-shaped sides. By Megan Fitzpatrick Pages: 30-31From the December 2010 issue # 187 Buy this issue nowWhile vacuuming a few weeks back, I was thinking about what to build for this issue’s “I Can Do That” project when it hit me … actually, when I hit it with my vacuum. I’ve had a small Victorian table/bookshelf in my guest room for years, tucked away in a corner where I rarely see it. It’s suffered from a broken foot for as long as I’ve had it. I decided the time had come to fix the problem so that I could put the table where it belongs – next to my favorite reading chair. Plan: Download the free SketchUp plan for this project.

The fact that a book stand from this period was around and in a collection was amazing – you should check … Read more »
