My interest in woodworking started early when I would visit my great grandfather’s and uncle’s workshops when I was a kid. I enjoy designing and creating works of art in wood that bring joy to the recipient.
I’ve created this site to document some of my experiences that will hopefully inspire others with similar interests. Please feel free to look around, leave comments, and come back often!

Most of the updates that I will make to the site are blog entries with the latest updates being shown right here on the home page. You can always return to the home page by just clicking on the Home link at the top left of any page.

We have woodworking plans for a number of the pieces that I’ve created available for purchase in the download store. Please take a look !
With almost 1 billion facebook users we thought we should start embracing the social network scene and make our presence known on Facebook. So I’m here to announce that the Kyserike Kraftsman now has a page on Facebook. Feel free to visit us there and don’t forget to Like us !
Feel free to leave your comments at any post as I would love to have some feedback on both the projects and the website.
If you would like you can also email me at TheKraftsman@kyserikekraftsman.com I would love to hear from you!
What finish did you use on the “inside” of this tack box. Your plans dont specify. Was it a urethane? I have come across Wetlox. Any opinion on that for the inside of the tack trunk?
Thanks, Chris
Actually it is Waterlox.
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your interest in the website and with the tack trunk plans.
I actually used the same spar urethane top coat on the inside that I did on the outside. I used Minwax “Helmsman” spar Urethane. I used two coats on the inside (I think I went for 3 on the exterior).
I’m sorry, but I don’t have any experience with Waterlox. I did just take a look at their website and their products look interesting. I would suggest looking at their marine products for the tack trunk. If you decide to go with the Waterlox I would love to hear the results. I would also be interested in seeing a picture of your finished project !
Regards,
Chris
