Custom Woodworking
More “weekend toolboxes.”
For a cool $40 you could have one of your very own. For another $5, you could go to the grocery store, fill up the carrier with your beverage of choice, and have yourself a great afternoon.
Message me if you want one.
I’m all about projects with a purpose.
A few years ago, I had a holiday party for the Math Department and had a few random beers in the fridge. I had already thrown away the packaging and showed up to the party toting my drinks in a plastic grocery bag. It made me feel like a hobo.
Never again.
My brother, Brett, just graduated from UNK with a degree in Graphic Design.
For his senior show, he designed a product line around a beef company. I helped him make a display case and butcher block for his show.
My oldest brother, Austin, is like a surgeon with a chainsaw and cut six pieces of elm for the butcher block, all 18″X36″X3″, out of some fallen trees from my family’s ranch in Halsey, NE. My Dad welded the base and thankfully put it on casters because it ended up weighing about 300 pounds.
More pictures of the nursery and Wesley, the ruler of the roost.
My mom, Roberta, is an artist and painted both pieces of artwork pictured. Here is a link to her website: http://www.robertabarnesart.com
A changing table, end table, and shelves to match the crib.
Looking at all of the pieces I’ve made for the nursery makes the late night feedings just a little easier.
I don’t have many memories of my Grandpa Rickert, but he was a woodworker and I still have all of the things he made me when I was young. His legacy inspires me to explore and expand my skills so I can share them with others.
When I found out Niki and I were going to have a child of our own, I wanted to create my own legacy, one that could be passed on for generations.
Wesley should have plenty of room to grow.
I’ve made a handful of cribbage boards over the years, but these are special. They are the ceremonial crib boards for Cribbage Club at Lincoln High School. Yours truly serves as the sponsor of this elite group.
Each board is designed to fold out during play and then clasp shut to store the deck of cards and pegs.
Another piece crossed off the honey-do list: A table for the entryway.
Matching coffee table and end table I made for the den – Niki calls it the Great Room. I think these pieces fit the bill.
In this project, I made my first drawer. Seems like a small feat, but it was a pretty big milestone for me.
I’ve always been fascinated by floating shelves. There were more than a few nights I spent dreaming up a design for a set to go in our den.
The hardest part was making sure they were sturdy enough for all of Niki’s awards.
