Bookcase, Bookshelf, Woodworking Plan

                  Aimee and Faith, Bookcases
These are two new woodworking plans that I have just posted on Sawtooth Ideas. The larger one is Aimee. She features a lovely rose carved molding, with adjustable shelves and a large bottom drawer. These bookcases are both built using the glue, screw and cap method. This is a simple method of woodworking that allows even a novice to achieve great results in a reasonable amount of time.This plan also features carving with a hand held rotary tool, a fun and easy method of carving.

This is Faith, a simple and charming smaller sized bookcase that features one rose and  adjustable shelves. This bookcase can also be ordered from my Etsy shop.

High Chair, For Older Children

The original design for this chair came from my father. He built two chairs similar to this one when the twins were born. I remember watching him build them. The original chairs were made of 1 sheet of 1/2" plywood, with just a jigsaw and a grinder. My mother painted them black and applied a decal of a basket of fruit on the back. I changed the plan a little by slanting the back legs out to help keep the chair  from being tipped back, and I slanted the back a little to make them more comfortable. This one is made of pine, and is carved with the Sunset design. These chairs are available on my etsy, and coming soon to Sawtooth Ideas as a woodworking plan.

This is a high chair for older children. This is not for babies that can not sit in a chair without falling off. It is designed so that an older child is at the right height to eat properly without a booster seat. The chair sides are lower so it will slip under most tables. These chairs are available in the Sunset, Roses or Robin motif, and come in Special Walnut, Pecan or Time Worn White.

This is Mr Penguin, sitting comfortably  at the table.

Things I built, Little Pie Shop

                            The Pie Shop
This is a little Pie shop that I built in two months from bare walls to finished. There were three tables to have tea and desserts. The counter that has the chalk board on it had a counter on the other side where all the pies were made.

In the pie shop there was a section where I sold some of my furniture.

Box Bench, Storage Bench, Bench Stool

     Bench Boxes, Storage Boxes, Stepping Stool
I built the black box bench for my daughter so that she could reach into her cupboards when she got her first apartment.
I filled it with everyday tools so that she could hang up pictures and what not. These boxes measure 9" by 16" by 9". They can be ordered with or without roses, or some other motif, like the birds and leaves or a large daisy. These boxes are sturdy enough to stand on but pretty enough to fit in anywhere. They can be ordered in Pecan, Special Walnut, Time Worn Black, Time Worn White, or Antique Blue.

Shadow Boxes and Pin Boxes

            Shadow Box, Pin Box,  Jewelry Box
These boxes are great for collections, pins or to keep your memories safe. They can be made any size and you can choose a Rose, Robin or Sunset motif on the top of the frame or order one just plain if you want to. The box is backed with a 1" Styrofoam and black velour. There is about 1" of space in between the glass and the velour.

These boxes are great for displaying your collection of brooches. My aunt left me her collection of 92 brooches. She was very dear to me and so I built this box to hold the memories, but 92 brooches is ALOT of Brooches. I kept 25 of my favorites, and gave away the rest to friends and family. I don't think she would have minded, because she was a very generous soul. I have these to remind me of her, and her kindness. This case is above my bedside table. Why hide away something so pretty.

This is a small box perfect to display up to 12 pins.You can see all the extra space that is unused! Can't you?

House trim, and molding, hand made.



                    Hand carved rose corners.



This s is a hand carved rose corner. It measures 4" by 4" by 3/4" thick.These can be used for the  corners of window and door trim. This corner looks nice and is much cheaper then buying your molded corners.  They are made of pine, a soft wood that is inexpensive, readily available and easy to carve, with a hand held rotary tool. I made the rest of the moldings with 1" by 5' pine boards. I made three evenly spaced grooves using the table saw. If you make your own molding it will save you at least 1/2 the cost of real wood moldings. 
These rose corners can be stained or painted in a variety of colors. I could also carve them for you if you are not a do it yourself-er.
