I rebuild the end of my cut-off saw table to create a place to put my new grinder. I also added a small shelf below to hold all my sharpening stuff. I put my square mortiser on a out of the way storage shelf since it is rare that I use it. ( That is actually another problem ). BEFORE...

Hey guys, I am catching up on some posting as I build my new website. These are some sound baffels I made for our church. We have a orchestra of about 20 pieces, so the sound guy has to fight a lot of problems to isolate sound, especially the horns. These are ash with 1/2 HD Sandeply...

This was the only thing I got done for Christmas. I had never made any end grain "butcher" blocks so I tried for coasters. The individual cuts were 7/16" of an inch. I ended up with about 30 of them from one glue up block. I gave them to my team at work also. I was really happy with the...

several years ago, I went on a buying spree on eBay. Purchased some planes that looked good. Some were ok, some were NOT ok. Lately I have decided to try a few rehabs. This one was done by soaking in CLR and thing using WD40 with 200 and 400 grit wet/dry black sand paper and a lot of work...

I was being nostalgic looking at Marty's post and ran across an old post.. So............. What ever happend to all the wood. It was this post.

I had an interesting experience today. Our DSL was acting up very badly this morning. Wife was going sorta nuts because nothing would load. I still had the support phone number for AT&T DSL from a mass outage last week. So I called. I got one of those people who can only read a script...

I would like to continue my education and experience with shellac. What is good source for shellac flakes ? What about the special alcohol that some vendors sell for like $20 quart ? Do you really need that or is the stuff from paint department at home depot ok ? I used Zinsser clear, but...

I finally got tired of lifting my lunch box planner off the floor onto the table saw out feed table. So I looked around at the "extra" plywood I had and did some quick plans and came up with this. Looks like it might be a place to store jigs and such. It's real sturdy. I have to create a...

We decided to get a Green Egg There are lots of plans for tables for these things. So I looked around and found one with the basic measurements. I decided to use ash. Probably not the best choice for outdoor wood but I needed about 60 board ft. and it was only $2 per bf. It's really...

I bought this years ago and do not know what it is. It is very splittery. When I am working a large piece I use gloves, or I will get splitters in my hand. This was used on the box I am making. I have a nice large piece so it will get a lot of use.

Oh yea.... I had a few minutes at the end of the day so I started cleaning up the annex behind the Hot Water Heater and furnance. This space came from the cyclone closet build out. This is the 1st hanger on the "clamp wall". It's 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood bolted to block wall. I love my...

My grandson came to visit for three days. So we made a box. I milled out some nice fir into 2" strips and two pieces for top and bottom. Matthew ( 5 will be 6 in November ) cut the 2" into pieces for the ends and sides of the box. Maybe a little help from granddad. Used my dovetail saw...

My home is about 20+ old. It's a "contemporay" design, with verticle cedar siding. I have two descriptions of the siding 1. Squirrel food 2. Kindling ( the house across the street burned to the ground in about 45 mins) So it's time to replace it. I am replacing all of the siding and...

My little finishing area had been a piece of plywood on two old cabinets. We de-cluttered our office and ended up with my old LARGE & HEAVY desk as surplus. So I took it apart and moved it to the shop. The stop of this thing is 1"+ Particle board. I think it will make a good buildout and...
