    Bed leg design and construction help needed

    This question came about on my previous post on the "wood" forum regarding 16/4 walnut but I figured that I would put it here for more traffic. I am going to build a bed out of walnut and the legs are 3" x 3" with a slight taper on the inside of an otherwise square leg. Something like this...

    Side Chair construction tip

    Upon making some dining room chairs, I was in a dilemma about how to machine the back leg. The back leg and back-rest were cut as one unit on a bandsaw (see photos). I had no problem sanding the kerf-marks on a stationary belt sander, but the joint where the seat attaches became a problem. I...

    Porch Swing Construction Suggestions Wanted

    A friend of mine wants to build this for his daughter and son-in-law; this one has been in his family for at least 25 years, but protected from the elements on a porch. He's got a really limited budget so we're trying to save a bit where we can without compromising the structural strength of the...

    OK Crap construction ---> Barred Owl Birdhouse -- $129.99 plus SHIPPING

    Ok, I am not sure if this is against policy, but I have a rant against aabirdhouses. Take a look at these bird houses, and the cost. OUCH, like a crappy Barred Owl Birdhouse for 130.00 for plywood with a hole in it... :( Bad work, I know my bird houses are not like John in Cranbrook extreme...

    Basic Cabinet Construction Question

    I learned to build all my kitchen base cabinets with a 3 1/2" toe space. But...I am not happy with the way my cuts come out for this. I use a jig saw but the cuts are never spot on. There is always one cut that wanders or whatever. What is your technique for making this cut?

    Frame and panel cabinet construction question

    Pardon my newness here. I'm still lurking a lot and reading up on old threads. I'm looking for a little input from those with more experience here as to which joint you'd prefer to use for standard box construction when using frame and panel construction. Obviously it's not a situation...

    Door construction ideas needed...

    I have an upcoming project and I am having trouble figuring out how to build the doors the way I would like. The doors will be approx. 32" tall and 16" wide, frame and raised panel on a frame-less carcass, full overlay. The hard part is that I would like to have the top 6" or so of the door look...

A bit thinner in those days,:gar-La;. He made his out of Cherry, I just happen to have a few book matched pieces of walnut...

    Bar construction

    So I have been happily collecting some wood to build a bar in my future man room. I have some spalted maple I want to use for the top trimmed out in walnut. Between baby feedings I have been going over it in my mind. I am doing some research online and come across another site where they are...
