Small Projects and Experiments




Over-engineered Crosscut Sled - Winter 2024
This crosscut sled was designed to combine a bunch of different jigs into one fixture with the use of universal t-track. This sled is not only optimized for repeatable cuts, but also makes angled cuts much easier. There are also moveable hold down clamps to help safety, and complete complex cuts.




Bowl Turning Experiments with Veneer - Fall 2023
Using 1/32" and 1/64" veneers I explored adding thin lines in different positions into my turnings. The walnut bowl has 1/32" ash veneers glued in two directions while the curly maple is laminated with a 1/64" rosewood veneer.

Third attempt

Second Attempt. Bowl moved slightly while using the table saw sending it sideways through the blade and the upwards in the air. This was due to an equipment error. No one was hurt.

Kerf Cut Bowl Experiment - Fall 2023
Using an 1/8" finger joint jig I cut a bunch of slots into each side of the bowls.




Maple and Walnut Cutting Boards - Winter 2023
This endgrain cutting board was created over the 2023 winter session and is made from lumber from a local sawmill. The wood was milled glued and cut multiple times to create the mosaic pattern.




CNC Halflap Coffee Table - Summer 2022
This is a simple coffee table designed to be made with a CNC router. The legs are connected together without glue with use of a halflap joint. The table top slots onto the legs with a X shaped mortise and tenon.




Desktop Organizer Project - Fall 2021
The goal of this project was to interview a classmate and design them a personalized organizer. This organizer is called the Pollinator, that can be rearranged and adapted to different environments.
