    How I built my shop--Part 2

    One of the challenges of building a timberframe structure was finding a reliable source for all of the timbers at a good price and having them cut on a schedule that suited my needs. I saw an ad in a local paper that advertised—lumber for sale for barns and sheds,custom cut,will deliver. I gave...

    How I built my shop--Part 1

    When I went into business back in 1993 I had to move from my 8×10 shop in the back yard to a space I rented for $350 a month. I had recently gotten an order from Leichtung workshops for 440 of my Intarsia Project kits. The space I rented was a 750 sq. ft metal building in the middle of an...

    Need soapstone source for desk base I built

    Appreciate any recommendations for sources of soapstone in the area and are willing to work with you on price. The ideal source would be a stone yard that would do the dimensioning for me as I don't have the horses to handle entire slabs. I have built desk base and wish to use SS as top. I...

    Built a mobile base for my bandsaw

    I came up with a pretty simple design for a mobile base with a retractable swivel caster. Here's a picture with the caster locked down so the base is mobile (there are 2 fixed wheels in the back). When the caster is retracted, the base sits on the 2 feet you can see under the base. To use it...

I promised the wife a new kitchen table about a year ago, actually bought the oak back then and have been "getting it used to the shop air" ever since. The table is 42" in diameter and the top is 1 3/8"-thick solid red oak. The base is...

    I actually built something

    It is a potting bench . At least that is what it said on the plans :mrgreen: Most of you could do this with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back, but heck , even FredP started somewhere . I'm guessing he would have built something like this at .....say age 4 :slap: Far from fancy...

    It has been a while sine I posted last. I feel like I am the slowest woodworker on the forum because it takes months to show progress. Below are images of my wifes closet that I have been wroking on and off since this winter. Now I have to make a top for the drawers shown, add cubbies on them...

Although it is not yet complete I am going to post a few pics of the project so far. I am doing this as a true build in instead of building components. My...

Got my latest edition of FWW and lo and behold, there was an article in it about such a gauge. I made this out of some BE...

    A cedar boat I built a few years ago

    This was my first attempt at a cedar planked boat. It still needs final sanding. Length is 12ft. beam 4ft. 16" depth. My ex-wife confiscated it so it now resides in GA. I will be building a few more boats as time allows.
