Fun use of the Bridgeport! I could have set up a jig to do this round bottom slot on the router table but yours seemed faster. Not so sure after spending time cleaning all the metal shavings off of it! #woodworking #machining #madeinnj #havingfun
All set up for the annual West Orange Street Fair! Come down to main Street and see where all the action is today. #woodworking #streetfair #westorangenj #madeinnj #
One of the joys of being a shop teacher is the plethora of random requests I get. Today it was a bucket of doorstops tomorrow who knows! #woodworking #shopteacher #bandsaw
It's on days like today that I look back on every year and think of how incredibly amazing my job is. It brings me so much joy building the trebuchet with my students each year and then watching it compete at #picatinnyarsenal against so many other great NJ schools. We came in 4th place this year but the kids and I had a blast and learned a lot for next season. #trebuchet #pumpkinchunkin #ilovemyjob #stemteacher #techeducation #woodworking
Some much need jointer maintenance this morning. Gotta keep the old #olivermachinery sharp and ready to flatten more lumber! Next up wax on the tables and it should be ready to go for the next round of student projects.

Got a fresh "delivery" of down town West Orange trucks. Come and get them Saturday June 3rd at the West Orange Street Fair.
Bonus fact: Did you know that the Edison museum is the only national park located on a main street in the whole country?

Spending my weekend getting ready for my first street fair in probably 3 years. I am so excited to get back out there and meet the awesome people that visit West Orange. The fair has a vintage car theme as well so you know I'm going to make lots of those. Come find me and so many other local business at the West Orange Street Fair on Main Street, Saturday June 3. #shoplocal #toymaker #woodworking #woodentoys #madeinnj
It's done! I built the upper half for this library to match the style of the original and the beautiful home that houses it. The ladder was definitely a challenge and required some special custom parts that I made but it was so worth it in the end. #woodworking #homelibrary #custommade #oldhouse #books
Any one else cheat on their "handmade" dovetails? I do cut the tails by hand but I always use the bandsaw and router for the pins. Speeds things up immensely. #woodworking #dovetails #drawers #process
Making some spacer brackets for a library ladder that got a little too close to the moulding. Always fun working with brass. #metalworking #brass #maker #bridgeportmachines #hammond
Quick little magazine rack for my students this morning. A small attempt to make my office a little less cluttered and hopefully get the kids to actually look at the magazines 🤣. We shall see if the plan works out. #woodworking #shopteacher #finewoodworking #magazineholder #quickproject #organization
Out of all the things I've made over the years this grogger is still one of my favorite accomplishments. The loudest one in the whole synagogue! 🤣 Happy Purim to everyone that celebrates. #purim #noisemaker #loud #woodworking #woodentoys #maker #madeinnj
A little late but we finally got our first shot of the season! Completely new design with a whole new group of students and I couldn't be happier! I'm so excited for #pumpkinchunkin #trebuchet #bestjobever #teachersofinstagram
Some close ups of my favorite joint to make. Chairs are always tricky with the angled double tenon but so worth it every time. #furnituredesign #details #madeinnj #designermaker #woodworking #walnut #beautifulday
