Cedar Strip Triangle Table

Product Description

Steel Framed Cube Table

Steel Framed Cube Table

This table was one of the first design ideas I wanted to create, because it established the connection of wood and steel – the basis of my creation process. Admittedly, the design process wasn’t perfect – there were many hurdles I had to overcome in order to create such a basic piece of furniture. At this point in the game, I didn’t have a table saw, and my experience welding was rudimentary at best, so I knew things might not work out so great. But, you don’t improve if you don’t try, so again we were off to the races.

Mid Century Night Stand

Mid Century Night Stand

Paul McCobb is one of my favorite designers. He made practical but beautifully simple pieces that were available to the masses. Today, it’s a bit more difficult to get his pieces, so I decided to make a prototype of a mid century nightstand that would be a nod to his creation, with some slight variations.

Cedar Slab Rectangle Table

Cedar Slab Rectangle Table

This heavy slab of cedar was brought to me, and I wanted to attempt to unveil the beauty of what was beneath the rough saw marks. There have been many hours of sanding devoted to this piece, and it goes to show how incredible a piece of cedar can really be. It felt a little too short to be anything more than a small coffee table or side table, but it’s presence immediately draws your eyes when you see it. I had no idea how amazing the grain structure would turn out, but the effort was definitely worth it.

If you’re interested in gaming, then you probably have multiple systems and that becomes a storage problem. It would be cool to play them all when you want to, but how do you store them properly? This project addressed that with a pair of steel tower shelves that were measured out to house multiple consoles, games, and controllers.

Drum Storage Shelf

Drum Storage Shelf

As a drummer, it’s easy to collect a lot of gear, and storing it can be somewhat of a problem. So, the solution was to build a shelving system that could handle different sizes of drums, various cymbals, and hardware. My particular set of drums are made of popular, which is a lightweight wood. This allowed me to construct the shelving with half inch steel, and made the shelving unit easy to move if needed. For heavier weight, something like this could be made with 1″ steel tube and reinforcement under the shelves – adding more rigidity and the ability to carry much heavier loads. In fact, you can see an example of this on my closet shelf  <photos coming soon>– another project where I needed to store things.

Action Figure Shelf

Action Figure Shelf

There are many things from our childhood that we hold on to as we age, mainly because it captivated us the moment we saw them. Our friends have a collection of antique Star Wars figures that they wanted to showcase in their home, to help preserve that feeling and hopefully pass it along to the next generation.
