A buddy of mine from the Reclaimed Audio Podcast (available on your favorite podcast app) recently posted a 5 hour long demo on how to build a reclaimed screw tote (actaully closer to 17 minutes, but who’s counting). Tim Sway re-edited the video down to 10 minutes because he “has the attention span of a gerbil”. Well I have the …

The Facet Table
Don’t worry my irritable devotees, full build video forthcoming! There were too many worthy adversaries in the challenge that I didn’t make the cut. That’s good news for you though, here is the teaser for your viewing pleasure, young chap. The cabinet is made from 3/4″ poplar plywood with 1/4″ oak plywood on the back. The drawers use the same …
Puppet On A Stick
I decided to make a cheap wood puppet on a stick… because I can. My friend lives in Canada so I don’t get to see him much and we needed to be able to tell each other jokes much more often so this was the obvious solution. Notable Materials: Print-out of your favorite face 1/4″ plywood the size of …
DIRESTA Ice Pick Shadow Box
A tribute to the one and only Jimmy Diresta: Maker Extraordinaire. I felt the Jimmy casting was missing the typical Diresta flare, therefore I transformed him into an ice pick…it’s what he would have wanted. Box is made from a reclaimed oak door frame. Aluminum dowels hold on the front of the box with nothing but friction. The block is …
Building a Reclaimed Wood Door from Scratch (Mission Style)
This is a mission style 2 panel door made from a really old piece of reclaimed pine and a piece of glass salvaged from a door I found in the trash. The piece of pine belonged to my great-grandfather who’s daughter (my grandmother) still lives in the house that he built back in the 50s. Joints between the pieces of …
Upcycled LVL Vase & Metal Flowers

A New Jackman
Jackman Carpentry →→→ Jackman Works Same Paul Jackman you know and love, but with a different name. The Jackman Carpentry moniker doesn’t fit me like it did when I created it in 2009 when I was still a wee lad (I was a senior in high school at the time)…so it’s time for a little change. As of the 1st …
