Making A Vinyl Display Box

In this video I make a vinyl / records display box using some salvaged oak veneered MDF which came from some bookshelves reclaimed from an old library.

I used mahogany to trim the edges of the box.

Making A Bandsaw Box Desk Tidy

Recently one of my YouTube viewers got in touch about a commission. He was looking for a desk tidy to hold some bottles of ink, and some pens with a drawer where he could put his phone, wallet and keys.

He mentioned that he liked the wedding box and chess set that I'd made and said he was happy to let me design something.

So here's what I came up with as a concept. And my idea was to build the bottom drawer section first as a bandsaw box, and then mount some pieces on top to form the pen tray and ink bottle holders.

Rustic Coat Racks With Shelves

A couple of years ago I salvaged some hat and coat stands, and I used them to make loads of things like this table top, a neck for an electric guitar, this table frame and this chopping board.

I saved all the coat hooks from them so I decided to make some coat racks.

I found a few pallets recently so I decided to use pallet wood.

So I broke them all down in to pieces, and removed the nails.

And I decided to use some of these wider pallet slats from one of the pallets.

Circular Plywood Coffee Table

I had a few small offcuts of this 18mm spruce plywood, and they were kind of getting in the way in the workshop so I wanted to find a use for them. These were offcuts from the hifi unit commission that I made recently.

I wanted to make another plywood table top because I really like the last one that I'd made. But I wanted this one to be quite different in style.

I started by ripping the pieces of ply in to 35mm wide strips at the tablesaw
