Without going into greatly unneeded detail, I am doing a small job and need some advice on the use of some materials. My Sis-in-law had a cabinet set installed in her laundry room, but didn't like the quote for some things.
She has a 24"x24" 'cubby' and wants to install adjustable melamine...
Well I can't decide the finish on this piece. Client requested a hutch to match existing glass front and table/chair set. The finish will be the Minwax golden pecan to match, but here's the kicker...she actually said "Suprise me" on the granite top color. Can't do a Travertine or slate in...
Hey all
Well last year I built my wife a dining room table out of Walnut. This year she gets the chairs.:eusa_danc
However I have not built any chairs of that style before. Only chairs that I have built have been Adirondacks.:eusa_thin
Has anyone got a set, or can turn me in a good direction...
I am working on the layout of the shop I am building, and a finish room was suggested. Need suggestions on sizing. I know bigger is usually better, but there are probably some guidelines on a reasonable, comfortable workspace. (The shop will be big (40x70), so I have room to build the "right"...
Thanks for all your advice during the project! Methinks I would have never finished without my friends at ncwoodworkers!
the specs:
103" Long x 46" wide
finished with BLO and waterlox
Walnut salvaged from a friends yard after a lightning storm; to the sawmill and then in the attic for a...
Hey charlotte folks, I am close to closing a deal on a performax 22-44 drum sander, but my shop is still in storage mode during our home renovations. Is there anyone in charlotte who has extra shop space to store this beast if I get it? I would need you to store it for up to 3 months, and I...
The pile of lumber on the floor was getting in my way and keeping me from having space for more tools, so I built this lumber rack (8 2x4's, 40 ft of black pipe, 100 drill pressed holes and 30 lag screws later)...
Loaded with wood (cherry, maple, walnut) with holes for 2 more rows of pipe...
I have a bonus room that is wired for electrical and has the vents set up for air conditioning. I have to insulate it, put up dry-wall, and mud it. I'm planning on buying what I need over the next couple of months so I can do it in the fall/winter, but I'm not sure which R-## to get for the...
hi there,
sadly, I must report that I am moving to florida--i will miss my friends on nc woodworkers!
I also have a finishing quandary. I have completed my walnut dining room table, and all is left is a coat of BLO and four coats of waterlox. As is, my table is in my air-conditioned...
hi there, I'm about to start finishing this table I've been working on, and I'm wondering what to do with my knot holes and worm holes. The wood I have is not top-grade, though it is air dried and beautiful. I've tried to work with the warps, sapwood, and knots rather than against them. So...
NC woodworker in need of moral support--I'm staring down some major sanding, a lot of finishing work, and then I'll probably break my back moving the dang thing into the dining room. It's massive!
We have a nice apartment in Apex that we have just acquired to rent. The new tenant is an engineer that works for me. He wants to share the rent with another person. If you have a need or know somebody that is relocating to the area please let me know. PM me for costs etc.
This is our original...
