Coffee Table Crate

http://bit.ly/1zLoXUN

This coffee table is upcycled from a wooden crate used to transport some scientific equipment. The top lifts up to a height suitable to work/eat at. Inside a panel conceals a small space in the bottom to hide objects in. To maintain the crate look and provide a much better surface for cleaning it is coasted with low sheen polyurethane finish.

Concrete TV Stand

http://bit.ly/Lqu30R

This TV Stand began with salvaged wood steps from a theatrical show. The shape of the support was designed to appear impossible and to fully free up the shelf area. At the suggestion of a colleague I built the support out of concrete, my first time ever using this material. The shelf has a near perfect black piano finish with a brass insert on the edges.

Tall Concrete Planters

http://bit.ly/1eTKTxv

These thin-walled concrete planters are hand packed into the forms to achieve the sand like texture. They are made in two halves, the top half is a five gallon planter and stacks on top of the other half. The bottom half can be flipped and used as a 9 gallon planter. They weight about 17 and 27 lbs. I would like to sell these on Etsy, but I am not sure how to package them for safe shipment yet.

This cook stand made from solid apitong wood also serves as a picture frame. Paddles on the front rotate to hold the pages down. Finished in shellac.

Glass and Concrete Night Stand

http://bit.ly/1eynvpv

This is an ongoing idea and experiment to build a night stand. The idea is to reverse the roles of concrete and glass. The rendering has glass panel legs intersecting concrete slabs. To challenge the impossible I would like the top slab to be rigidly supported by one panel. A slab of concrete (45 lbs) cantilever from a piece of tempered glass is a lot of forces. I have done a number of experiments and achieved a cantilevered concrete slab. Thou, too much flex remains in the system, primarily the connection point. The challenge remains designing a connection between the glass and concrete that is rigid enough. Otherwise using two glass panel legs at the full height will probably work spectacularly. Any combination of slabs and glass could be assembled to suit a clients need, like a bookshelf.

Glass Top Ribbon Table

http://bit.ly/1cccigS

These ribbon tables are gifts using a design from Popular Woodworking Magazine. The Wisconsin Badger table features the mascot engraved in one leg and the Marching Band logo as a mirror insert in the other leg. The Packers table has the “G” protruding from the surface. The Northwestern table Wildcat logo is engraved into the leg. Each glass table top is frosted to a design according the theme of each table.
