Plywood Creations 2007 – 2010

Here is a few goodies I designed then built!

1) Bed v. 1.0:
This double bed frame was made from re-used 2x8s, 2x4s & plywood. It was built in my first Yellowknife apartment in 2007

2) Telephone Center /  Bookshelf:
This was my first piece of living room furniture for my first apartment in Yellowknife. It is made of re-used plywood & 2x2s.

3) Dresser:
It’s got three top drawers @ 2.5″ deep for jewlery, one middle drawer 8″ deep for clothing & two lower drawers @ 12″ deep for bedding & clothing.
Frame made of 3/4″ Birch G1S, drawers from 1/2″ Birch G1S Plywood. All finished with solid 1/4″ thick  maple edging & 2 coats clear semi-gloss varnish.
Entire unit is 5′ tall, 2′ wide, 18″ deep. This thing was fun on the table saw!

4) Rooftop carrier v.1.0:
This rooftop carrier was made for our pilgramage from Yellowknife to Kelowna. It’s pretty rough but it held a lot of stuff and didn’t fly off the roof! (roughly 200 lbs.)

5) Loudspeakers:
10″ woofer , 3″ Midrange, 2″ Tweeter, 100W RMS
I made these in grade 12 for design tech class and they still sound awesome. I use these to DJ with often and set them up at parties all the time! I’ve recently repainted them and will decorate them with designs.

6) Rooftop carrier v.2.0:
This rooftop carrier is much more refined, smaller, lighter, sealed & lockable. It is for use on our 2005 echo hatchback and will stay on the roof for the summer. The floral designs are by my girlfriend so it looks real sharp on the red car. It holds a huge tarp, tent, 2 thermarests, 2 sleeping bags & 2 pillows.

7) Bed v.2.0:
This new queen platform bed is made entirely of 5/8″ sanded spruce plywood (w/  hidden 2×4 for support) with a light stain, 1 coat varnish & iron on birch edging. It has book storage along the front, slide out box storage along the side and a cubbie for each of us. The headboard is made of different pine board widths attached to 2 firring strips & stained the same as the bed. Built-in side tables are made from the same 5/8″ plywood.

8 ) Kitchen Storage Unit:
This storage unit is for dogfood & glass / tin recycling. It is made from the same batch of 5/8″ sanded spruce as the bed & finished the same way as well with 2 coats of varnish. It is 4′ Long, 10″ deep, 30″ tall. Magnetic clasps keep the doors closed and simple stainless steel handles finish the look nicely.

9) Garden storage box:
This is entirely made of re-used material. As you can see form the photos, I used up some remaining scraps of wood from rooftop carrier v.1.0 and some boards I found when I moved into kelowna. It measures 33″ long, 24″ tall, 12″ deep and hold our garden hand tools & some things for outside.

GO PLYWOOD!!!
