Bedside Cabinets by Mike Conner
Bedside cabinets in cherry. Decided to forgo the knob on the cabinet door in favor of a notch for finger pulls. Tops are made from a single wide cherry board that had a surprising amount of figuring.

A cherry and maple hinged box for trinkets. The lid lift is rosewood from a broken Stanley plane tote that I couldn’t bear to throw away. Made from offcuts of other projects and finished with shellac and wax.

Router Planes by Trevor Molyneux
Paul Sellars Routers. All routers are made from beech with cherry handles. The two regular ones are exactly as Paul Sellars design using the PS kits. The others are smaller as a replacement for my 722 routers. They use 7mm cutters and M5 hardware. The base is 200mm wide and 18mm thick. I made one of the latter ones very short at the front so the cutter is level with the front of the router at 3mm depth. I am having to replace cheap nasty hinges in my house and needed to be able to use my router right up to the door jamb. They are perfect for this and I’ve already used them several times. Far better than paring the recess.
Dovetail Box by George Bodi
Black walnut with mulberry tree lid handle. The project is a mix between Paul’s dovetail and keepsake boxes, toned down to my skill level.
Carrying Tote by George Bodi
Salvaged pine and black walnut.
Hand Plane Tote and Front Knob by Mac Coombs
I found a rusty, old, hand plane at a flea market for $5. The handles were missing and the screws bent. The new handles I made from an old pallet. I think they are hickory. It took me three tries to get the hole drilled for the rear handle. Paul, you make it look so easy. Thanks!

Made Paul’s router plane out of messmate works like a dream
Nest Box Key Safe by Roger McLachlan
Made from larch reclaimed from a garden bench. First successful fledging of blue tits!
Router Plane by Tobias Bauer
I made the body from an unknown hardwood (African, maybe Sipo or Sapelli?) I received as a gift from a friendly carpenter. I rasped and filed the handles by hand from a large branch of hornbeam. Finished with clear shellac, metal pieces from Paul’s kit. It works flawlessly and more than matches my Veritas router plane.
Coasters by Matt Sims
Oak, meranti and pine, including pallet wood in the holder. Coasters finished in water base polyurethane, (for durability), holder with wax on top of shellac
Bowl by Dennis Detlefson
A segmented bowl made with Purple Heart and Maple.
