I’m new to woodworking and have a novice skill set. I had an awesome idea pop in my head, so I watched YouTube and learned how to use sketch up. I made the piece but not sure if the base of this “dresser” type piece will work. HELP!!! Do these joints make sense and how should I attack this?
Has anyone tried the TOH Insider subscription?
They say it will include access to the NYW catalogue of videos as well as pdf downloads of the plans.

Hey, Everybody.
Still learning, but I thought I'd share a project. This is the second tongue drum/tone box I've built. Sides are 4/4 birdseye and top is Padauk, all joined with 1/2"x 1/2" rabbets and yellow glue. Half-inch birch is screwed onto the bottom to give access to tune tongues. I...

Hey guys,
Need some recommendations - I want to build a nice rocking chair... The wife needs something nice to rock the babies in.... Unfortunately, the "Boughten" sorts are either permanently upholstered (AKA Spitup catcher) or Horribly uncomfortable... or crazy expensive.

Does anyone have plans for a wooden fly box (to keep fishing flies in) and/or a portable fly tying bench or table? Also, does anyone have a copy of "Off Season Angler" by Saindon?

Hi Folks, does anyone have any plans for making you own wide belt sander. I am in need of a thickness sander and I have a supply of 3' & 4' belts from a local cabinet company. The belts are used but I get then and wash them up and most are like new. I would like to be able to use these belts and...

Gonna build a toy chest/box for a neighbor's child. Anyone have any plans or know where I can see some? :dontknow:
I know it's "just a box" but I work better from plans, and I'd like to make it a little different! Thanks in advance! :notworthy:
My wife has asked me to build a floor clock (grandfather/mother) for my next project. That said, it is proving to be a challenge to find a plan that is not too ornate (too many spindles or spires) or to austere (too boxy). If I am reading her correctly, we are looking for something that is more...

They (Popular Mechnics) have had this 100th Anniversary set of plans on their website for years, but now it only text and a cutlist - no pictures.
I am interested in the whole suite: bed, dresser and night stands.
The plans were free - but of course I mistakenly thought I'd have access...
Does anyone have a "standard" bench plan? What I mean is, what is the height of the seat from the floor, and the height of the top of the back? I'm modifying a Double Rocker to be a bench and need to "shrink" some dimensions I believe. I can "wing it" but hoped someone might have or know of...

My 15 year old Accuspray HVLP turbine just died so I am in the market to replace.
I typically sprayed oil enamels for cabinets and oil poly for stained stuff. Tried to spray latex but I had to thin it so much I lost all gloss off the finished product. Would water borne lacquers be a...
