This classic American Shaker-Style dresser is modernized with some skillful techniques and attractive flared maple.

Through turning you can create unique stretchers and a nice footrest for your shop stool.

At Rockler, we spend a good share of our time talking with experienced woodworkers, helping them expand their tool collection and bag of tricks. But we have an equal interest in helping aspiring woodworkers get going.

This Westport chair is made from thermal treated red oak, which is attractive and environmentally friendly.

This project shows how to turn a relatively simple screwdriver handle with a hidden storage compartment for several different sized bits.

I have stored my planer on the ground for years and lifted it up to the workbench whenever I needed to use it. Although I knew I needed a more permanent home for my planer, I never seemed to be able to find the time to make it. That’s why the Rockler Rock-Steady Shop Stand, with its large number ofcustomizable options, is perfect for a project like this. The assembled frame is 32” x 20” x 28”. After adding the casters and a 1.5” top, the final size of the cartcame out to be 36” x 24” x 33”, which was the perfect size for me.Project design and plan by Alex from Bevelish Creations.

Using five clamps and some spare wood, this panel press saves time and space for large panel glue-ups.

Build this Lathe Tool Sharpening Station to streamline your tool sharpening workflow. Designed with Rockler's new Rock-Steady Shop Stand Kit (32"W x 20"D x 32"H) as its framework, I can roll it over to my lathe easily, so sharpening will only be a few steps away from the action. Its worktop has an alu­minum facing to protect against sparks, plus six holes and a long slot for storing the lathe tools I'm either sharpening at the moment or using while I turn. Two 4"-deep drawers have racks of semicir­cular holders that can stow a big collection of short or long lathe tools between uses. And a closed cabinet below that can store other turning accessories too.

Creating custom picture frames for friends and family is a great gift giving project that's sure to please even those difficult to shop for gift recipients.

This planer cart makes a handy addition to any shop, with a place for your benchtop planer, an extendable outfeed table, and room for additional storage.

These epoxy-filled holiday pattern ornaments are a twist on scroll saw holiday ornaments you may have seen. Cut out the pattern and fill the voids with Table Top Epoxy. You can color the epoxy with a rainbow of pigment colors and metallics. Choose your own pattern or use one of the five we provide in the plan or as CNC design files.
