Welcome To
Rick's Woodworking Website

I'm Rick Doyle and I live in Cowichan Bay, B.C., about 50km north of Victoria, B.C.  Welcome to my woodworking website, I hope you like what you see, find it interesting and return often.  I developed this website to help share plans, projects, tips and techniques about woodworking; and, to provide links to information about power tools, magazines, books and other resources.

I also wanted to maintain some level of computer skills gained during 35 years working in information technology as a programmer, systems analyst and I.T. Manager.  I retired in 1999 and am now able to spend more time enjoying my favorite hobbies - woodworking, digital photography and personal computers.

What Would You Do In The Event of a Fire or Burglary in Your Workshop?

Free MS Excel Inventory Template

Probably, the best thing you can do right now, other than taking the usual safety precautions, is to make and maintain a complete inventory of all your woodworking tools and equipment.

This MS Excel spreadsheet makes that task much simpler.  Sure, it takes some time to enter in all the data, but once that's done it's very easy to maintain and is great evidence to support any insurance claim you might make.

Mission Bedroom Dresser

Morris Chair and Ottoman

Chimney Cupboard

This tall Arts & Crafts dresser styled with corbels and arched lower rails offers lots of drawer and cabinet storage.  This dresser is 50.25" high x 44" wide x 21" deep.  This mission style Morris Chair features curved arms, loose cushions and an adjustable back.

I built this Chimney Cupboard from Feb./06 Wood Magazine plans.  It is made from Pine and finished with Minwax Golden Oak Stain and poly.  I replaced the solid wood door with three glass panels.
