    planing first side

    I have watched the process of flattening and squaring rough lumber using a jointer by first flattening one side, then jointing one side. Moving to the planer, second side flat and parallel. Moving to the table saw second edge straight and parallel. Great, but I don't have a jointer for the...

    First Xmas presents from the dark side

    Some friends gave me some pieces of Iron wood they had cut down and abandoned in the woods. I had no idea it would look this good until I cut into it! I made them this pestle and morter as a xmas gift in exchange. Some of it was just a little "furry" to sand perfectly, but a coat of CA soon...

    The Dark Side Weakens

    A Hard Wood to Work About a month ago I stumbled onto some very deeply discounted, solid wood flooring. Cumaru (Brazilian Teak). Being a dedicated turner, I almost passed it up, but what the heck, solid wood, not a laminate, there had to be something I could do with it, right? Now I deeply...

    I'm headed for the dark side

    I haven't turned anything in the past 2-3 years and decided to turn a piece of crab apple wood. I've never done a lot of turning even after having spent a fair amount of money (you all know how that is) on the lathe, gouges, chucks, and other turning tools, etc., etc., etc. Well, it's blatantly...

    The Dark Side was strong in Richmond this weekend

    The AAW symposium in Richmond was great. My son and I had fun seeing all the presentations. He got to participate in the Youth Turning and had 2 classes with Bonnie Klein and 1 with Joe Ruminski. All the kids that participated in the program got their names in a hat for the 25 lathes and tools...

    The influence of the Dark Side.....

    It forced me to turn this 12/4 hunk of air dried Walnut into something with a bowl like shape - I was really happy with it until I realized that my macro level pics showed off all the torn end grain, and the wax I applied just enhanced that. But none the less it is the biggest bowl...

    The power of the dark side, It's Dark In Salisbury

    Well I went to Harbor Freight this weekend to get a set of the digital fractional calipers. Every time I walked by the bigger wood working tools I felt a strange force pulling me ever so much closer. I finally realized that I was there two days before the sale on their lathe was to end. I...

    Rumor of the Dark Side

    Those of you that remember that I got the Goodwill lathe, will also remember that I am trying to invade the inner sanctums of the "Dark Side". Today I was in the lair of "he whos name we must not mention", this member of the " Dark Side" is a high ranking official. He showed me around this...

    The dark side

    I have been trying to think of ways to incorporate acrylics into my pens. I have had this idea for a while and made the first pour last week. Black poly- resin and aluminum. I realize there are faults in fit and finish, This is just a proto-type.I would not put this much effort into a twist but...

    Side view of a cam clamp. Note that the wood blank does not rest on the surface of the table. The two flat washers keep the clamp elevated off the table.

    New Side Board

    My wife loves her birthday gift! This sideboard is QSWO. It took longer than expected to finish-due to a heart attack hiatus-now I'm back in the shop and doing great! It looks good next to the kiatt dining table. Everyone have a safe and happy 4th of July!

    Front, Rear, Side?

    Ok, so on a table saw the front is the side with the switch and you feed the wood from front to back. On a Router table the front of the table is the side with the drawers, etc and you feed the stock from right to left (generally, except when climb cutting). On a planer the front is the infeed...

    Floating Side Menu is Back

    The floating side menu is back with some changes. It wasn't the few changes that took all the time, it was a bug in the software that I use to generate the menu that got exposed. I couldn't fix the bug, so I did a quick and dirty work around. Anyway, please take a look at the menu and its...

    Sneak preview of bed side table designs

    Just a quick hint at the way I am going with the tables. Both pick up accents from the bed just finished. The curve of the top drawer front mimics the crest rail curve and the lower apron picks up on the bed rail curves. The cabinet is suspended between 4 legs that are attached at just two...

    End to Side Finger Joint

    I have made a few chests in which the ends are grain oriented north and south and the front/back is oriented east and west. I was tempted to try a finger joint but couldn't come across anything here or in my literature or Googling about doing this. Anybody out there done it or seen it? Any...
