This post aggregates some pictures and information about older woodworking projects. Finished projects only; unfortunately, I don’t really have in progress photos for many (sorry).

Pedestal Table

My girlfriend’s family member was getting married, and wanted a pedestal table as part of the ceremony to hold some items. They liked it, but weren’t able to take it back cross-country with them, so now it’s a standing work table that my girlfriend uses a lot.

Table saw was used to cut the top perfectly round.

Pine/fir, finished in boiled linseed oil and oil-based poly.

No-Sag Bookcases

Both of these were made of 2X lumber. They can hold a full row of college textbooks without sagging. Roughly based on the following Low Bookshelf build from woodgears.

Fir, smaller in boiled linseed oil and oil-based poly, larger in water-based poly.

Pine, Poplar, Red Oak, Maple, Mahogany, oil-based finish

Picture Frames

Made with half-lap joints, rather than miters. Sadly, the maple frame looks a lot more yellow in the picture than it actually is.
