    How to attach top

    I am making a jewlery box for a neighbor out of pine that came from her father's barn. It was rough looking stuff but after jointing and planing it down to 1/2" it looks pretty good. It is basically heart pine and you can smell the pine resin now that it has been planed. The box is completed...

    Roubo Bench-The top and the bottom meet!-Finally

    Well, it was bound to happen sooner or LATER, I'm finally starting to make good progress on this puppy. After the last post(where I actually glued up the bottom section-the base) I had to place it on the top to mark out the location of the BIG mortises: After that I drilled them out with a...

    Workbench top suggestions

    I'm looking for suggestions on workbench tops. This bench will be along a side wall, 8-10' in length, set on top of 2 cabinets shown here: Some other cabinets will be mounted over top, pegboard and the like in between. This isn't going to be a primary work surface, but it's a big space...

    Mike Jurnigan, a woodworker who hangs out at WoodCentral and lives in Suffolk, VA is making a run north in February and will stop at Bally Block in Philly. He has offered to pick up seconds (tops) for people for cost and gas money. If you have never heard of Bally Block/Michigan Maple...

    Planning the dining table top

    I am at the planning stage for the dining table top and considering my options for creating the two 70" x 20" leaves. Am I being optimistic in hoping to find 16/4 x 12" curly/quilted, KD Maple?? The top is 35mm thick (1 1/2") it would have been nice to re-saw the 16/4 to get the width. If...

    Finger-joint Box - Help with Top & Bottom

    This is one of those "just for something to do" projects. I made some improvements to my finger-joint jig and made this box to test it. The dimensions are 11"W x 11"D x 4-3/4"H. The stock is 3/8" - I think it's Alder. The finger joints look okay, so I glued up the four sides to make a box...

    Workbench Top Upgrade

    I have only been dabbling in woodworking for a couple of years. My workbench began as a six foot folding table. From there I began researching work benches. A friend of mine bought a home and found a workbench left behind. (in the back ground) He had no need for it and gave it to me. You...

    Work bench top design question

    I am hoping to build a new work bench and I have some recovered maple locker room benches that I think could be laminated into a nice top. The benches are 9" wide by 1 1/4" thick. I was thinking of using three wide by two or three thick (resulting in a 27" by 72" top that is 2 1/2" or 3 3/4"...

    You may have noticed that we have a new top poster with 4,294,967,295 posts. No, it's not DaveO's overactive cousin. We're making some software updates, which is causing the strange numbers. Rest assured that the site hasn't been invaded by a spamming robot. I'll clear this up in a day or so...

    Toolman and I got together at my place today for a top secret high level admin meeting. He drove three and a half hours for this meeting. (Actually there was a wood exchange as the main reason for the trip) But we took the opportunity before dinner to work on the site a little bit. We...

    Dresser Top

    I have these really nice red oak boards I got from Wall's Lumber yesterday. Most of them are going to be around 6 inches wide (hopefully) once I get them squared. I want to glue these boards up to make the top for my dresser. Do I need to cut them down to three inches and re-join them to...

    Another workbench top

    Now that I've moved into a different house I can actually make a shop again. One of the first things I wanted to do was make a new workbench top. The old one www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/data/500/thumbs/AAA4.jpg was of two pieces and I wanted something bigger. The new design will be 30" X 60" and...

    Finished top Unit for Chest of Drawers

    After I made the bow front chest of drawers, I decided to make a smaller drawer unit to sit on top of it. A set of junk drawers , if you will. I got the inspiration looking through a Thomas Moser catalog and I have to admit that I am quite happy with it. I had just gotten my Festool Domino when...

    Flip Top Stand

    I saw that Bas recently posted about the flip-top stand that he made for his shop so I thought I would throw mine in as well. I don't have a tool for the other side yet, but I am scheming:wink_smil.

    table top grain ???

    I am finishing up a dining room set and have come to the table top. In the past I have always ran the boards down the length of the table and occasionally I slap a breadboard on the end. The cherry I am using was given to me by the client. I would not use it, but it has sentimental value to her...
