Looking for a fun woodworking challenge? This is the project for you!
I had an absolute blast building the Jewelry Box—don’t be fooled by its size! It's small but features lots of challenging joinery techniques.
These plans include:
A 21 page guide in Imperial and Metric
Measured drawings
Printable Full Scale Templates
DXF and SVG files if you are a CNC user
Final Dimensions 14 1/8” x 16 7/16” x 8 5/16” (359mm x 418mm x 211mm)
This project is advanced. If you are looking to challenge your skills and learn some new techniques this is a great project. (The instructions assume you have a base knowledge of the craft.)
There’s a full build video on YouTube to help you along the way.
These days it’s common for woodworkers to use a hybrid of both hand tools and power tools. Some keep two workbenches in their shops, but not everyone has the space. This is why I designed the AlmFab PRO Workbench. It’s both an assembly table and a hand tool workbench filled with work-holding options.
These plans include options for attaching various accessories to the bench, such as an end-vice, front-vice, T-track and dog holes. The plans also explain how to customize the workbench to suit your needs.
This workbench is designed for stability and durability, with internal half-lap joinery, the table top will stay dead flat after years of abuse. The lower shelf is just as strong as the top, so you can kit it out with whatever cabinetry works best for your projects. Its melamine top can be covered in wood glue, polyurethane, or otherwise, and cleaned up in seconds with a putty knife.
The PRO Workbench is 73½” deep, 37.5” wide, and 35” tall. (with wheels and excluding vices)
This is a digital PDF download. It will contains a step-by-step guide on how to build it, a cut list for all the parts, and a list of materials required to build them.
This is an Intermediate level project, and requires an average amount of woodworking equipment to complete.
For additional support on the build, there is a video on my YouTube channel. If you have any questions or issues, feel free to reach out to me via email at info@almfab.com
The Murphy bar is designed as a classic midcentury piece that opens to display your liquor bottles and glasses with a large bar top you can sit at and enjoy a drink. When you need some extra space, the bar top can fold away, revealing a storage cabinet below.
Additionally, the Murphy Bar doubles as a versatile game table. You can use the top storage space to display gaming accessories while neatly stowing board games and puzzles in the cabinet below.
The bar dimensions are:
Stowed: H 89 1/4” W 24” D 10 3/4”
Open: H 89 1/4” W 24” D 55”
