 Bill Cooper - I made this tissue box from an old wine box that had nice graphics. Proud box joints that I had to steam to make fit. The top is joined by four small dowels. Finished with wipe on poly. I too have a bit of time on my hands.  Heather StewartCherry/Curly Cherry sewing cabinet with Claro Walnut Drawer faces I built and gifted to a 14 year old girl who was sewing masks for first responders. She was using her machine on the floor and that just didn't seem right to me. This cabinet has the hydraulic lift so she can work more safely and comfortably.  Ross Dileo - Jake from Alameda says all lives matter so please wear a mask. Jake was bandsawn out of scrap mahogany, feet wenge with an oil finish.  Wayne Stolte - Sheraton card table. I'm still French polishing the tops, one is getting near, the other has a long way to go. It was especially fun to avoid changing the color of the holly stringing in the top while darkening the super light color Mahogany with potassium dichromate.  Bob Hoellwarth - Sharpening a brand new chisle. - I just finished a video about Sharpening a Brand New Chisel. I bought a new 1-1/4" Marples chisel, so I filmed the process of sharpening it to usable standards. - https://youtu.be/jPWRyXW9zjs  Leland Frayseth - Interior seams filleted with 1-1/2 gallons epoxy putty made from silica and micro balloons then covered with 2 layers of biaxial fiberglass tape and activated resin. Seat tops ready ready to be set in epoxy putty and fiberglassed. Boweye backing block, oar lock backing block, fishing pole backing blocks and fire extinguisher backing block ready to be epoxied. Flipping the boat next week to prep, fiberglass and paint the bottom.  David Traversi - This small cabinet is made from a figured walnut short that was too nice to toss. I also had a practice Kumiko square that was gathering dust. I decided to practice some hand cut joinery and make a fancy First-aid kit. It measures 8 1/2” x 17” Pictures attached. See more on Dave's page. Dave Traversi.  Bob Bean - After I finished my checkerboard I wanted to have a small box for the checkers. I scrolled a mahogany 1/2 inch thick butterfly and glued felt into the box which was 5 inches by 7 inches and about 3 inches deep. I purchased checkers from Rockler to finish the project. The box was something I had sitting in my shop, and repurposed it for the checkers. I just dressed it up a little and put a couple of coats of Polyurethane on it. -- Bob Bean.  Bob Bean - Checkerboard squares are 7/16 thick Dutch Elm both heart wood and sap wood. These are scrap pieces my niece had left over from the floor she installed in her house. The heart wood flooring strips are chocolate brown and a little soft for a hardwood floor.  Bob Hoellwarth - I have been converting a bedroom in my house into a filming room with a workbench, and I built this piece of wall art as an accent piece. The randomized shape of it also diffuses sound a bit, to help reduce echoes while recording woodworking videos. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oowKE6RJm1M  George Lucido - This is a Philadelphia Rod-Back Armchair,circa 1800. Pine seat, Mahogany arms, Hickory crest-rail and Ash for everything else. Windsor chair #40  Paul Mueller - MY GARRET RIETVELD CRATE CHAIR AND TABLE. One of the first chairs the movie studios closely is the Garret Rietveld crate chair. Built entirely with crate lumber (a European 1" by 6"), cut into a few standard sized rectangles which are overlapped, screwed together and painted white. Easy to build. Yet the museum directors insisted that the chair is a "masterpiece", a true original work of art.  Ray Evans - Turned Wood Wine Glass. For 5th Wedding Anniversary. See full description on Ray's page. |

Roy Underhill is the host and creator of The Woodwright's Shop TV series focused on traditional American woodworking. After 37 years and over 400 episodes it is one of the longest running "how to" shows on PBS. Using only the hand tools of early America, Roy proves that woodworking doesn’t have to be noisy, dangerous or expensive. His insights into the principles of the craft reveal the enduring relationship between tools, and material between human hands and creations of culture.
