You might be jealous of birds’ ability to fly, but you’ve probably never been jealous of their houses.  Until now. Transition over at LumberJocks found inspiration from a Goldfinch and turned shop scraps into this treasure.

Sanity over at Lumberjocks made a gorgeous mobile workbench with a solid maple top, locking casters mounted on custom plates, and other features.  While it was made for a small shop, it wouldn’t  look out of place in a nice kitchen either.

Woodworking has been around for thousands of years.  Video games, about 30.  That’s no reason you can’t mix the two, check out this beautiful custom joystick in walnut and zebrawood from souji5.

We both know there’s at least one bit rolling around, or lost in the shavings, in the back corner of your router table. So why not build it a nice little home? Check out this step-by-step plan over at Wood Magazine, and there’s a downloadable/printable version on the last page.

bobthebuilderinmichigan over at LumberJocks proves that you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on a full-featured miter saw station.  It’s even got a dust collection hood and casters.  Great idea for the small shop.
