Woodworking projects for indoor use. That really means they are fairly small and the finish will be suitable to indoor use.

- Tea preparation tray
-
We have long had a tea-making tray by our kettle. It's usually long and not too wide. We don't often use it to carry things (although we sometimes do). Our last one broke. After years of abuse it cracked and split. The gaffer tape fix wasn't doing the trick either. I decided to make a new one from some recycled timber I had. It's a fairly simple idea and not much of a plan needed.
- Upcycled plant stands
-
A very simple project which I built from reclaimed materials. Two plant stands, one tiered one not, for indoor use. We needed a new plant stand and I have been wanting to build an A-frame one for a while. As a bonus we got a smaller one as well.
- Wooden fruit bowl without a lathe
-
We used to have lovely ceramic fruit bowl which sat beneath a banana hanger in our kitchen. Then one of cats felt the need to run across the space where it was and - CRASH! It was broken. Rather than buy a new one, I decided to make a replacement. The design changed a few times between this decision and starting to make it but in the end I settled on a basket octagon design using 9mm wooden dowels and reclaimed wood.
- Footstool upcycled from pallet
-
This was one of the projects that started my resurgence in woodworking. I had an old pallet sitting in my garden and the timber really interested me. It was too good to burn, in too good a condition and the grain was unusual. At the same time we needed a new footstool as our latest beanbag one had, like its predecessors, split. So I had a pallet and an Idea!
- Dog feeding station
-
We adopted a new dog, Isla, who is a large cross-breed. Probably German Shepherd and Rottweiler but with others thrown in as well. As such I wasn't happy with her having to eat her food out of a bowl on the floor so I decided to use some scrap/repurposed wood to build her a raised feeding station.
