This is a jewelry box i made for my girlfriend. It is the nicest thing ive made for sure, it took me 6 months or so to make due to leaking in my shop and other issues. It is mostly black walnut, the sides are ambrosia maple, and the drawers are birds eye maple. Im very proud of this one.

My First real woodworking project was this table that i made for my girlfriend out of re-claimed barn wood. I learned to check for nails before using a 200$ hand plane. Fuck.
The second table is made of the same barn wood, i believe it is rainbow poplar. It turned out ok considering the wood was in horrible shape, it spent 100 years or so on the side of a barn and then was torn down, screwed to drywall, and painted by a delusional meth head. Fun!
This is a cabinet i made, I went a little beyond my capabilities with the top but its still holding up. I used mainly poplar but the top has some roasted maple.
These are two speaker cabinets Ive made. The first one is an oversized closed back 2×12 cab. Its made of pine, a Baltic birch baffle, and an ebonized oak and purple heart grill frame. I installed two Celestion Greenbacks into it, it sounds sick as fuck.
The Second is a 1×12 made with the exact same types of wood. I made a second back so it could be open or closed and i installed a creamback into it, it also sounds sick as fuck.
The third cab is a small 8” speaker cab that i made to house a small speaker i had laying around. I finally am starting to develop a good strategy for these.
last are two enclosures i made for my first two tube amp builds, the first is poplar and pine. The second one i went pretty far with, its birds eye more info on my diy electronic page.
Here are an assortment of small boxs that ive made, most of them incorporate purpleheart, my favorite wood. The first i made for my mom, the second was for my sister, the third for my girlfriend, the fourth was for a friends coffee shop, and the last was for myself.
This is my studio desk, right before Covid i decided to get into woodworking so that i could make a studio desk. I started working in sketchup to plan it out and waited for my skills to progress. Once the lock downs happened i had a shit load of free time and was able to get it done in a few months. I did many things wrong, firstly, deciding to french polish the entire thing, stupid. The shallac has not held up at all, because I’m a monster. I also used poplar on the front surface, again, stupid.
A few things i got right, I created a huge easy access space inside the desk for my computer and hard drives, I made some cool spaces on top for pencils and odds and ends, and I created a huge pull out drawer for my midi keyboard. I also made a rack space in the center and put my power conditioner, a punch panel with USB ports, and i created a switch board for all of my gear and lights.
I also made a Rack with a cool door and a slanted rack on top for all my outboard gear. It has a very useful pulll out shelf with a kick stand for my guitar pedals, built in lights, and a magnetic front door to keep my asshole cat from climbing in and pissing on everything, “see icky is a slut”
This is a birdhouse i made for my grandpa. It is made of aromatic cedar, birdseye maple, poplar, and walnut. On my final dovetail while cutting out the waste i got a spiral fret saw blade embedded into my thumb, it sucked. I did not get blood on the birdhouse.
This is a bookshelf i made. That is all. =)
These are two midi controllers i made. Huge undertaking. I used the teensy 4.1 micro controller and used every bit of the I/O. I also programmed them using the amazing Control Surface library. i think the creators name on github is ttapa. On the second one, i used figured walnut, purple heart, and a cool veneer over birch for the face. I still haven’t figured out the fader knobs =(
Also at the end is a monitor controller i created, it has two inputs and two outputs, monitor selector switch, a mute, a mono switch. and a left right swap switch. I terminated everything with a snake cable connected to a DB25 plug.
This is a printer table i made. It started as that ugly hunk of wood. It took me an extremely long time to plane all the boards square and flat by hand. I wouldn’t recommend it. When i saw the beautiful rainbow poplar underneath the mold and dirt i had no choice but to complete it.
This is an assortment of random rack enclosures ive made for my diy audio gear and guitar pedals.
Just an assortment of shop related projects and random shit
