The butt chisel tray

Posted on 21. November 2024 by vidar

My chisels have been living in a roll-up fabric pouch, which I have to unroll and place somewhere whenever I need a chisel. Not a very elegant solution, to be honest. Time for a chisel rack!

The miter gauge holder

Posted on 7. October 2024 by vidar

My band saw came with a mitre gauge. I do not use it all that much, but it sure is handy sometimes – so I need to keep it nearby. And why not go way overboard and make it in a complicated way? Why? Because I can.

Posted on 15. May 2024 by vidar

It seems to be to-do list time in the shop, and the next item is a long overdue saw till. I want a simple design without many bells and whistles – just a rack for my hand saws, nothing more. Kind of…

Easter “nativity” display

Posted on 24. March 2024 by vidar

Easter is soon upon us, and I have long wanted to make a small display to commemorate the easter message. No, not the coming of the easter bunny! The resurrection of our Lord and Savior. A small, easy project that utilizes scrap wood.

The coat rack

Posted on 1. February 2024 by vidar

Having kids is a true blessing, but they do come with baggage. Or to be exact: jackets, coveralls, knitted caps… We needed to organize everything better, and it starts with a coat rack.

The boolean wall shelf

Posted on 26. February 2023 by vidar

Yet another wall shelf project. This time it is for my oldest sister, Unni. I got a text message with an image and “show this to your wife, she’ll love it!”. Subtle… But hey, it’s woodworking! And I do have some oak at the ready.
