Basement Labs is a window into one man's innate need to create. Some (good) people teach. Some collect objects. Some entertain us. This one takes raw materials and turns them into useful objects.

The medium is irrelevant - the process of creation is independent of the medium. Wood, metal, cloth, electronic parts, food, computer programming - it's all the same. The mechanics and tools are different, but the process isn't.

This site is an exhibition of my innate need to create (mostly) useful items out of raw materials. Over the years, I've built many things of wood with some other media thrown in there.

You can see what I've done, and often how I got there in the photo galleries. They're not complete and not all the photos have captions or are rotated correctly, but that'll get done someday (I promise).

Feel free to surf some at my favorite sites.

The most-recently-finished was a pair of Craftsman-style nightstands. You can see what I went through in the photo gallery.

My current project is building 6 storage cabinets for my basement. I have posted lots of photos. They're almost done - I just have a couple more shelves to make.
