DIY Woodworking Puzzle Frame

8 years 1 month ago

The secret of this is buying little square dowels and gluing them to 1x2s. You need a pocket to put the puzzle in, so without a router this seemed like the best way to do it.

After you have the pocket, the frame is simply mitered together and glued.

My First Piece of Woodworking Furniture - Our Coffee Table

8 years 7 months ago

My first piece of furniture out of my own design. I learned a lot here. You definitely want to glue up a table top like this, it took forever to do it with pocket screws. I would also not have made it so chunky at the bottom of the table.

The site has shadows thanks to cssmatic

10 years 9 months ago

Cssmatic.com is my new favorite site. Shadows were a bit of a mystery to me Before. I would try to match colors and mess with the blurs and offsets to get the right look. However it just didnt seem that real. Inset shadows were out of the question, and shadows were either black or a darker color than the background color.
