Welcome to the workshop

Here are some photos and shop plans from the projects we've built on the Furniture Workshop TV show. Most of the projects we make are a variation of a Shaker design. The Shaker style is quite functional, has a timeless look and is often made from solid pine stock.

Hobbyist woodworkers will find Shaker designs easy to build while offering an

elegant look. And pine is a great material for beginning woodworkers, as it is a soft

wood and relatively inexpensive. Our show can be seen on several cable access stations scattered around Massachusetts. We film a new episode every six weeks in our shop in central Massachusetts.

This Month: Jim's Cedar Lined Trunk

Last Month: Finishing our Shaker Desk

As we build each project, we try to point out low-cost ways of getting things done. Most of our projects can be made with just a few tools, a couple weekends and a bit of imagination. The projects are usually selected based on whatever Jeff and I need for our own homes. But if you have a furniture project you�d like to see us tackle, feel free to send us an email.

Thanks for visiting,

Jim & Jeff
