More on the woodworking plan rip off

As a follow-up to my article about the woodworking plan CD scams, I Googled and searched YouTube a bit more. Man, a search for "woodworking(the numeral 4)home" on Google yields about 284,000 results. Its kind of funny, because next to the search there are several ads for the same "14,000 Woodworking Plans" CD. They all sell the same CD, but are in competition with each other. I would make a wild guess that there are thousands of sites set up selling them.

I really wonder who the guy at the top is? All of the sites claim it is John Metz from Wisconsin. I suspect this is a fictitious name, but someone is making a lot off of this.

Interestingly, that same search, but narrowed to sites within the past few days (since weve been spreading the word), now has sites set up about  "how to detect woodworking scams"...which, of course tell you that there are scammers abound...but the safest thing to do is buy the 14,000 plan CD! Wow, these guys are quick. In fact, if you Google "woodworking scams" guess what sites show up? Yep. Woodworking(4)home.

Art for Above the Headboard Take 1


This weekend we hung the prints above the headboard


click here to see where I saw the idea!

These are the supplies I started with (minus the drop cloth which I returned because it had a plastic backing and purchased muslin instead

I cut the drawing paper and muslin to size and spray mounted the fabric to the paper - it doesnt need to be perfect because the edges are covered, but the corners need to be attached to go through the printer (I also later cut the loose threads off so they wouldnt get caught in the printer)


I painted the frames with some left over paint and cut mats out of the the same drawing paper



Also, while I was taking the glass out of the frame - one broke - this is the cheapest glass ever! (David agreed too!) so for safety precautions (since it is above sleeping heads) I purchased a cheap large frame with the plastic instead of glass - cut to size - and swapped all of the glass for plastic - We also used screws to attach them to the wall and picture hanging command strips for added strength - so they are really up there!

Unfortunately once they were hung I wasnt over the moon about them ... I like them a lot ... but not here - I am going to see what else I can come up with today!

I was also able to finish the ombre table for the entry way over the weekend! Check back for photos!

Get the Look Bright and Airy Modern Foyer

For todays get the look, Im featuring a bright and airy foyer with just the right amount of pattern and whimsy to keep it fun and current! I would love to have this amount of light in my foyer! Hello windows!


via pinterest (not linked to original source)




1.  |  2.  |  3.  |  4. + 4.  |  5.  | 6. 


1. If youve read my blog for a few months, you probably know how obsessed Im with this folded pendant, I even DIYed my own version!

2. This wallpaper is so good! Maybe even stenciled instead? I love how it is just above the high wainscoting so that if you get bored it is less to switch out. Though harder to apply to the ceiling, it really adds so much more impact!

3. I decided to include this dining settee because it isnt too deep - perfect for a narrower hallway! Its not leather, but the price is great! 

4. Upholster a thrift store bench with a fun new fabric like this one from Premier Prints, I also love this one from Waverly! This may be the exact bench from the image (it may scare Annabelle (my puppy) though ...)

5. A blue glass lamp gives this space the perfect pop of color! I love how it balances the blue abstract painting on the other side.

6. A classic parsons table brings in classic lines to balance the bench. 

I love love love this space! Having a settee and a console table in a foyer (as shown in the picture), probably isnt an option for a lot of homes. Maybe our next place will have the space :) We can always dream, right?

stuff in the works

well, 2012 is certainly off to an interesting start ... we finished a stool this week for a client/friend who recently finished this needlepoint project after working on it off an on for a really long time (she claims 15 years, off and on). so, she is really excited to cross it off her to do list after all this time and will be picking it up next week. click the photos to enlarge them ...
next up, next week well be transforming this 8 foot claro slab into a dining table that will then be shipped to england .. imagine that .. its not my first international shipment, but they dont come along everyday .. well crate it up, get it to an agent in boston, and off it will go, i presume, by boat. the house will be finished in april so it should get there in plenty of time.
the leg structure is a new design and were anxious to see it all come together. its 1.5" thick steel and it will be blackened like others we have built in the past ... theres a model of the completed table around somewhere ..
and after that one, we have a show coming up in february at the southern vermont art center (why put things off til the last minute?) and were starting to work on our pieces for that effort. i havent done a show for a while and its always a good exercise. the slab above is going to be probably a dining table or maybe a coffee table. im working on the room layout below. the flat art on the wall will be by marta johansen, and old friend, and were trying to make things that will complement and not interfere with her work. its not a huge room, but it looks like well have room for a couple of mirrors in the corners, a bureau, a bench and low console, and the claro slab above in one form or another... well have to see how we do ...
the bureau is nearly complete ... all the cherry for it came from the same log and it has nice figure.
four drawers and steel legs, like half the bureau we made as part of our bethlehem steel series below.
and, im working on a tapered corner mirror belwo that will mount on a wall in the end, but for the show it will have to have a freestanding base.
again, some nicely figured irion cherry...
it will be kind of like this one, only with natural cherry and some steel details.
my other mirror piece, which i have so far only mocked up, will have a fish eye type convex (security) mirror which will (hopefully) reflect all the drawings and furniture in the room in one peek. the base and rod support will need a little more thought and a little more heft, maybe employing some polished firewood ...
i turned and painted this on the lathe from mdf as a prototype. and will added a little gold leaf yesterday morning to set off the mirror from the dark background .. gold leafed mdf ... ha ha ha ! told you you can do a lot with mdf ...
and wills side business, seeders instruments, has banjo #8 in the works .. picolo style; cherry and walnut ...
he also got a repair/restore job from one of his clients. its about a hundred years old and needs some work ... seeders instruments to the rescue ... more on this stuff as it progresses ...
and sams stretching a bit to create this half oval balcony. bending flat stock in a horizontal plane requires a great deal of patience, adjusting and care.
he made the oval frame where you stand and the bottom and top of the ailing using the same jig.
bending rectangular flat stock in a horizontal plane requires a series of saw cuts and a bunch of grinding. plus the stock has a mind of its own as it is welded and if youre not careful your piece gets longer as you go ... fun ...
then theres the challenge of keeping things square as you fit and weld and the fine challenge of bending thick stock to fit around thinner stock ... home stretch now ... i saw it had primer on it yesterday ...
also, weve got a couple built in bench projects in the works. one is straight and straightforward, and was primed yesterday, while the curved one is more complex and still in the estimating/approval, finish details stage.
cardboard and 1/4" mdf; micro pins and hot glue ...
a little resawn foam for cushions ...
for the straight bench, the designer added the back after he completed the drawings so it was left to us to decide on the angle ... our mockup was a little too vertical ( in the end we ended up with about a 1/2" seat pitch, front to back, and a 15 degree slope off of that. it seemed to look good with the mahogany side tables trevor was working on the tables below have a hidden drawer
and were working on a new postcard/handout design .. getting close to ordering them. im about out of my old 30 year anniversary ones from two years ago.
ill be teaching a short workshop course on digital design and fabrication at green mountain college in poultney this spring. lucas brown, the head of the furniture program there has designed a one sheet desk and stool. after a couple of prototypes and subtle programming adjustments, trevor is nearly finished with his classroom run of 22 tables ( +/- 288 total pieces) .. they are pretty cool, slip together, and require no fasteners to assemble. the concept is similar to others weve done for vew-do balance boards and wagathas dog biscuits.
and lastly, i passed this slab of claro walnut on the stairs on the way out the door yesterday ... i have to make a quick poplar mockup, cut it down a little, add some butterflies, finish the wood and steel, and send it off to greenwich village ...
whew, how do i keep track of all this? you might legitimately ask ... well, i dont sometimes. its a constant juggle and shuffle and as time goes by, i rely more and more on my guys to figure it out, help each other, and work as a team to keep ALL of us on track ... im lucky to have em ...

have a good weekend ... guild of vermont furniture makers meeting at my shop today.
