The glue dried overnight, took the clamps off to inspect the work. Looks good, a couple mistakes to sand out, but otherwise I’m happy with the progress so far. I’ve decided to use some walnut…
Miniature Dressor – Part 2
Category: Projects
Miniature Dresser
Inspriration can come from almost anywhere. For example, my wife and I were watching Market Warriors, there was an episode about miniature furniture were a small dresser was shown. She really liked the miniature dresser, so I decided to build…
Garage Organization

Audio Switchbox 3.0 – Part 1
I’ve always had the need to share my computer speakers with a computer and a portable CD player, laptop, or a MP3 player. Years ago, I used a boombox with inputs that were RCA jacks.…
