4022 Spruce Street. I rebuilt the left side of this porch: the column against the wall, the beams, brackets, and rails in the summer of 2009.

I made this marking gauge from an article in Fine Woodworking. It's oak with a maple wedge to hold the blade in place. The blade is an old jigsaw blade ground to a point. It's come in pretty handy and more importantly it was cheap.

Shelves for an odd space in a kitchen.
The sides and back are salvaged maple tongue and groove floorboards. The face is oak floorboard cut-offs. The shelves are white pine.

Some parts for my next banjo project.
Not necessarily for the same banjo. The neck is maple and mahogany, and will probably be for a fretted banjo. The fingerboard is mahogany with white oak strips for a fretless.

Crude scrap-wood banjo.
The neck and body are white pine (stained); the fingerboard is an old oak floorboard with dowels cut in half for frets; the top and back are lauan plywood; the tuning pegs are old violin pegs; and the bridge is oak. The strings are classical guitar strings (I had to piece together from a few sets to get the right gauges). On most banjos with wood tops, the top is solid and the back is open; but I cut the hole in the top like a guitar as an experiment. It doesn't sound half bad. The only problem with it is the fret spacing is a little off, which makes it more of a wall ornament than an instrument.

An end table made from salvaged wood.
The top is various types of wood, the base is white pine.
