    How to cut Phenolic Sheets?

    I need to cut a 3/4 phenolic sheet down to proper size for a router table top, but am not sure the best way to cut it. Its too big for my bandsaw so the options would be tablesaw, tracksaw or jigsaw (not preferred but an option). Do I treat this like plywood and use a high tooth count blade? Or...

    Toddler Helper Stool

    Well the client caused this project to take about 4 times longer than it should have but I finally finished a toddler helper stool for my 2 year old. It's all walnut with the sides/supports being 3/4" and the platform at 1" thick. The platform is adjustable with wood tapping inserts or at least...

    Finally Finished our Kitchen table

    This was by far my biggest project to date. I just bought a jointer and planer last year and embarked on this project last fall. This was the first project where i have milled all my own lumber, cut a round table and used purely joinery that doesn't include screws. It was a pretty awesome...

    Want to Borrow a 1" roundover bit

    Does anyone around Raleigh have a 1" roundover bit I could borrow for an afternoon. I am looking to cut an edge profile on a table base but don't see enough future use to spend money on it. They seem to get pretty expensive at these sizes. MLCS has one for 30$ but shipping is 2 weeks and the...

    How many dowels do I use?

    I am partially through my first major build using rough(ish) lumber and milling it all myself. My major goal is to build the entire table with no screws and so far it has gone pretty well but I have started second guessing myself now that i have to actually make the joint. Just curious to hear...

Outside of the woodworking classes at the crafts center at NCSU (I highly recommend these for anyone who is new to woodworking/power tool safety), I have never cut a dovetail nor do I own any tools practical for this task. I have started...

    Should i try to fix a miter saw or buy new?

    Trying to set up my shop and have an old hand-me-down makita LS1011 miter saw. I think they were built in the 80s. Its a 10 inch sliding compound miter saw. It still runs and glides well and it worked great to install 1200 sqft of engineered flooring over the last year. That being said, flooring...
