    3D Printed Table Saw Dust Collection

    An interesting watch as this guy alters his tablesaw's dust collection with 3D printed parts. He's in Germany, and using a generic chinese manufactured saw, so the parts aren't applicable to what's available here, but I liked watching the problem solving that he goes through. While it's not...

    Background My wife does a lot of fiber art - weaving, knitting, dyeing, etc. She has a functional antique spinning wheel, the typical foot powered kind.

    Automated Zen Garden Sand Table

    Ever since I saw a video of the Sisyphus Table, I wanted to make one. I've researched doing it off an on for a years now but never started. I came across a maker on Youtube (DIYMachines) who published a detailed video and instructions, complete with the source code you'd need to run the table...

    Shaker Candlestick Table

    While buying stocking stuffers at Ollie's last year, I saw a book on Shaker furniture for $4 and bought it - it was too cheap not to! Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I wanted a little side table for my recliner so I could easily put stuff on it while I'm watching TV. I remembered the book an...

    Garage Electrical Advice

    Family and I just moved into our new house and I'm adapting to my new workspace in the garage. It's 2 car garage with a little extra workspace on the side. The agreement with my wife to convince her to move is that she gets a parking spot inside. ;) Now that we've closed on our old house and...

    Check your Bandsaw for this

    I watch woodturner Allan Stratton on YouTube and he had a video out last week explaining how he got injured using his bandsaw. Basically, as he was turning off the saw, his hand missed the off button and his finger went into the blade return channel. Luckily he only ended up with a few stiches...

    Recommendations for Desk Plans?

    My next big project is going to be making a desk for myself. My current desk I'll be handing down to my son now that he needs one. I've had it since I was a kid - my dad and I got it out of an abandoned mill in Davidson that we were volunteering to do something in, and it was just going to be...

    NC State Parks Map

    Back in 2019, I took my son Rowan (6 at the time) for his first camping trip to Hanging Rock State Park. When we were at the visitor center, the park ranger told us about the NC Parks Passport, a booklet where you can get a stamp from each park you visit, and there are rewards for hitting...

    Miter Saw Cart

    As part of my never-ending quest to maximize my limited shop space, I built a miter saw cart with fold-out wings and storage. I had a Bora miter saw stand that I hardly used, and its footprint was way too large that I mostly kept it folded up in the corner of the shop. The miter saw I took off...

    Dizzy Bowl

    I decided the best way to put my new bandsaw through its paces was to do a bunch of resawing, and doing a Dizzy Bowl was perfect for the practice. The Dizzy Bowl is a take on the "bowl from a board" concept - Just basically thin strips laminated together, then resawn to make boards, rings cut...

    New bandsaw - hurry up and wait.

    I've been waiting on a Rikon sale to come around, and Woodcraft has a 15% off sale. I finally pulled the trigger last week on the Rikon 10-326 14" bandsaw. They didn't have any in stock at the store other than the floor model, so I opted to wait and have it shipped to the store. Unfortunately...

    Carding Drum finished!

    I finished up the Drum Carder for my wife! She's excited to start using it. I cut the discs for the drums on my table saw, and turned the pulleys on my lathe. I did mount the drums on the lathe after gluing up for a light sanding. I ended up making 14 discs each of 2" and 7" diameters. Frame...
