Spring projects and Ted

Wanted to post this link to an article Matthias wrote about the April Fools video we made together. You might find it of interest is you are curious about the technical part of making that video.
I can tell you that it is far easier to make a straightforward woodworking video, but its really fun to challenge myself from time to time, too!
Spring is here!I want to see if I can come up with some springtime projects. If you have built any special outdoor projects or are working on something, send me pictures! Time to start spending some time outdoors.
Ted, oh Ted...where are you?If any of you has a copy of Teds Woodworkings 16,000 plans DVD, let me know. Id really like to do a review of it for my web site. Ted, dude...you are hard to find. No contact info on your web site. I had to do a whois domain query to find an admin email address. I sent you a message, but havent heard from you.
Im sure you watch my videos, because they keep (accidentally, Im sure) getting taken from my channel and re-uploaded to various YouTube channels...and they all direct viewers to your web site. Curiouser and curiouser.
Anyway, Ill keep at it. Maybe if I just say "TEDS WOODWORKING" a bunch of times in this post, it will draw you or other Google searchers here. Ill try it:

Congratulations to ????? ????????? in Greece who just became a father to a baby boy. Somehow Nick still finds time to make some projects in the shop.
Love this wine rack. Would make a great gift.
Heres a clever idea for storing keys:
*****
Another great idea for an entryway, heres a white mahogany shelf from Bill Wilson. Adding the cork board is such a clever idea. 
Hes been making a few wall shelves. Heres another recent version with some great saw work:
*****
Pallets! Fred your woodworking passion for free. Garfield Hiscock went from this...
To this charging station! Love the way that wood looks when its cleaned up.
*****
If you are willing to spend some time and a little elbow grease, free lumber seems readily available in one form or another.  Kevin Maxson took the time to disassemble an old cedar armoire someone had given away on Craigslist. Made a folding stool. 
*****
More pallet potting tables! Heres one Paul Jobbins built earlier this year. Plue another good idea: a greenhouse.
*****
And heres Kenny Boothes potting bench made from reclaimed pallets. The vertical frame and shelf are from reclaimed pine boards he helped his father build 45 years ago. 
*****
Small space woodworking. Matthew Hallsworth in Merseyside, England proves you dont have to have a huge shop. Hes converted his van into a workshop! Check out his workbench:
*****
Got a note from Sean Stanlick who made this DVD cabinet in his senior year of high school. He designed it to look like those old video stores that displayed the movies on their edges and at an angle. Pretty cool. Plus, Sean has compiled a set of instructions on how to build it! Download the 24 page PDF plans here. Thanks Sean!
*****
One of the projects on my to-do list this year is a pair of nightstands for the bedroom. Pete Collin built this one that really reminds me of the mid-century style furniture I have been building recently. I just love this design and may make something similar.
*****
Finally, I had to share this beautiful spirits cabinet Larry Briski made out of cherry as a wedding gift for his daughter. I love heirloom projects like this. Beautiful work.

George Fulford works in a self-proclaimed "meager little shop" but is gettin it done. He sent pictures of a box he made and then had the inspiration to crank out some embellishment on his scroll saw. I think this is a great idea. Crank out some fancy stuff on that scroll saw!
******
Mere MinutesI  think need test screeners for my videos. I had so many people ask me how the toilet paper roll fits into my TP holder. Im always intrigued by reading comments about key points I neglected to include. In this case, I should have shown my spindle. Nothing fancy: just a plastic, store-bought, spring-loaded spindle.
Oh, and I fixed my window.
