Bowl turned from the wood of a historic 150 year old beech tree
Cement USB Hub
This is part of the USB Hub Challenge. Check out Giaco Whatever’s channel – this all started with his Cement USB Hub build on the Make Magazine channel. There was a lot of animosity in response to that video, so a bunch of us decided to get together and turn it into something positive. Be sure to check out the …
Epoxy Wire & Wood Bowl
This bowl is a wedding present for my sister and brother-in-law. The base of this bowl is made from spalted beech from a fallen branch off of a 120 year old beech tree. I had a busted ethernet cable that I ripped open and embedded in a two-part epoxy (he is an electrical engineer). The top segmented rings are made …
Concrete & Upcycled Glass Lamps
There is another studio next door to me that is a glass blowing shop. Sometimes they will throw away their scrap colored glass, so that’s how I was able to find this stuff in the dumpster. The lighting used is an RGB LED flood light. See the link below for the product I used. Both of these are able to …
Reclaimed (pallet wood/mahogany) Segmented Bowl
This is a wedding present for my cousin in-law and my cousin in-law-in-law(?). Materials for this project were all reclaimed (except of course epoxy/finish). The lighter wood is oak and poplar pallet wood and the darker wood is mahogany that came from deck balusters I rescued from the trash. Even the yellow plastic used for Mickey and Minnie Mouse was …
Cat Window Tower
A cat tower/climbing gym for our 2 cats Sarah and Cooper. We live in a mill building that was renovated into apartments. All of our windows sills are pornographically large like this – about a foot deep. This is a south facing window too, so it’s proven to be a popular spot. The tower is made all from 3/4″ plywood …
Wood Camera Tripod Mount
I bought a used tripod and saved myself $70 off the new price, but it didn’t come with a mounting plate to go in the head of the tripod. It was a pretty easy fix really, just took a chunk of chechen wood and a 1/4×20 bolt to build my own. Music by Hope; _______________ Notable Materials: > Tripod > …
Pallet Wood Workbenches

The main frame is fabricated from 3.5″ x 2.5″ pallet timbers and 1.5″ thick pallet slats, all from a super heavy duty pallet. The casters are locking 4″ casters. Everything is fastened from the underside, or the inside …
Plywood Drone Box
The main frame of the box is just a scrap piece of 3/4″ plywood that was approximately 2’x4′. The top and bottom of the box is just 1/4″ luan plywood. Internal is carved from FastCap’s Kaizen Foam. Hardware was salvaged off pieces in the trash. Handle was salvaged from an old fire hose my landlord was saving, I assume just …
Lumber Racks: Conduit (and reclaimed roof rack)
This is a very similar setup to my last shop except these are only 2 bays tall and twice as wide. The roof rack bar version of this was cut down and reused. The conduit version was built to fit the new space. It’s not all that revolutionary, but I thought it would be interesting to show how I attach …
French Cleat Shop Storage Wall & Loft
In my shop there is a small area I share with other tenants with some food storage and a fridge and microwave, so I decided to close it off to keep the dust out and add a bunch of wall and loft storage space. The frame is all 2×4 construction, fastened together with 3″ deck screws (because I had an …
