    Pictures of workshop construction.

    In the winter of 2007 I started building my new 22 x 28 workshop. The shop is finished and I will attempt to post pictures of it here. The concrete floor has cured for 2 weeks now and I figure that is good enough. Beside that, I wanted to get the building started. The first wall is up, now...

    new construction barn/woodshop

    Hey all, I'd posted a message a couple years ago (hard to believe) about a new shop project. Well, I'm one of those "slow planners." But the time has come--this summer, come **** or high water, I'm gonna build the darn thing! Unfortunately, I have also gone from being reasonably fit and...

    After watching master woodworker Frank Klausz at the Richmond WW show I have a question for Monty, Striker, Chuck, Mike, Travis, Phillip, Mark, Dino and others who made or are making the beautiful WW benches that have graced this site. I noticed many of you built your benches with rectangular...

    Blast gate construction

    Any recommendations for which glue to use when joining PVC to MDF? Was going to use epoxy, but was wondering if anyone had an easier sure fire product suggestion. As tight as they fit, it doesn't have to be bullet proof.

    Few End Table Construction Questions

    Anyone know the height of a "standard" end table? Also, I'm going to try and bend two aprons for a 3 legged 1/2 slab sycamore end table, any pointers or word of wisdom? I was thinking about using some wiggle wood and gluing on a 1/4 veneer face or laminating several thin strips and use a mold to...

    Drawer Construction question

    I have another concern about drawer construction. What thickness should I use for the plywood bottoms. A little worried about the bottom sagging given the width of the drawers and the weight of clothes. Should I consider some type of support in the center of drawer underneath the plywood. Was...

    Construction inquiry

    Here's a drawing of something that I will be building in the near future. I have some ideas in my head for the joinery on the bottom cabinet. But I thought that I would throw it to the collective wisdom of NCWw'er to mull around. I plan it to be constructed of Oak ply with a single fixed...

    Crib Construction

    Probing into the great minds that, when combined, form NCWWer... I'm building the crib pictured below, what's the best way to attack the slats to the rails? The plans call for a 3/8" thick by 3/4" deep dado with small spacers in between each slat. Have any of you guys tried this method? Was...

    Daughter's dresser - construction complete

    I have been somewhat lazy in getting this dresser done. I screwed up the bottom and last drawer and cut the rabbets on the front the wrong way for the c*ck bead. So, I had to work out getting some wood that matched the rest of the drawers pretty well, and you know how it goes. So, I have...

    Interesting furniture construction resource

    I found this list of publications by a well renown Wood Technology professor. Most of it is way too scientific to get any practical information out of the publications. But if you scroll all the way to the bottom (182), there is a very good publication on furniture joint strength and...

    LOML and myself have been looking at new bedroom furniture and finally agree on a style :roll: We are considering purchasing several pieces of solid wood (cherry) Shaker style from a well known NC manufacturer. Almost all of the stuff I've examined in furniture stores has a center support for...

    I find myself with a memory laps and the notes are running together. I find two different opinions so I would like to poll the woodworkers. What is space between drawer and inside of case. One opinion is 1/8 on each side to equal 1/4 and other opinion is 1/16 on each side to get 1/8. I have...
