    Learned How To Weld Today

    Made my version of the wolverine grinding jig out of 3.00 worth of tube steel, 2 old mower blades and a machine screw. Also had a great couple hours with my dad. The welds aren't pretty but I don't think they will break. I still need to do more shaping with my angle grinder. When I have...

    Lesson Learned (some the hard way!)

    After being in the Corps for 22 years I learned that if you do not write down your after action items you are doomed to repeat your mistakes. Now that the summer is over and the majority of the projects are complete. Here goes: Measure your work, mark the wood, remeasure and check, cut wood...

    Learned how to make a friendship pen and made some blanks ready

    A big thanks goes out to Nick (NZAPP1) for letting me come to his shop yesterday. He taught me how to make the friendship pen and let me use some of his tools to get some pen blanks ready. He has some pics... so he will have to post them. Thanks! Mike

    A few boxes, and what I learned making them

    OK, so these aren’t necessarily the fanciest things in the world, but I did accomplish the few things that I had hoped to in making them. I am basically trying to answer one basic question: “Can I do this”? This time I decided to try my hand (or, more precisely, my table saw) at a making a...

    What I Learned Today

    1. Exposed screw heads in a stop will nick the sole of a hand plane. :BangHead: 2. A nick in the sole of a hand plane will scratch the wood. :swoon: 3. It is a good idea to make a test run on a scrap piece of wood before using a plane. :widea: 4. Scratches on the sole of a plane...

    what I learned from the Charlotte shop crawl.

    Everytime I get together with a fellow woodworker I learn something and when I can gang up with 20, the knowledge is so vast I had to take notes so I wanted to share some of things I learned. 1. I'm not the only one who has banished their cars to the elements in favor of a garage shop. 2...

    Something I Learned!

    Here's something I learned from the Doc who put the "chicken wire" in me this week. He gave Mary a real going over (constructively) because she drove me to the ER. (at MY request):embaresse 40% of all heart attack patients are LOST on the way to the hospital or clinic because they chose to...

    Lessons learned - Photopost voting....

    .... in no particular order If the voting type is RATINGS, you have to enable both posting AND voting in that category before anyone can vote. I wanted people to be able to vote but not post comments, but enabling voting by itself won't work - you gotta have both. Also for RATINGS...

    Things i have learned

    I think I my have learned a couple of things:eusa_thin 1. When people pay for things they take better care of them. 2. It's sometimes easyer to make something then to fix it (but that could be just my state of mind) Most of you remember when I made a donations box, well it got broke (the top...

    Lessons Learned on 1st Pen

    Here are is a pic of my first pen. General disclaimer: This is literally the first thing I've turned on a lathe I just inherited. Keep in mind that I do not know anything about turning or sharpening chisels so I'm at a distinct advantage. I'm having fun but certainly have a lot to learn...

    New Yankee Router Table - Any lessons learned?

    Hey All! I bought the plans almost 1 1/2 years ago and finally got around to buying the plywood/mdf materials yesterday. I started cutting out to the plan and am going to be building the new version of the table this week. I was just looking to see if anyone who made this table had any...

    Turning Precautions & Lessons Learned

    Since I recently purchased a lathe ... thought it would be a nice thing to have a listing of the turning safety precautions and lessons learned from NCWWers. Originally I wanted to know what are the dangers of a lathe -- meaning, what dangerous things can a turner do (i.e. kickback on a...

    What i learned this weekend....

    I came to a startling discovery this weekend while working on my new sideboard project. I'm not a big fan of milling my lumber. This is the first project I've started from 100% rough lumber. Mainly it's my crappy benchtop 6" Crapsman jointer. Trying to mill long boards on this 'toy' is a...

    A lesson learned..

    I have been struggling with the simplest of things lately, I was having trouble finishing some of the last set of the infamous coasters! As you know I have been raving about the Ceramithane WB finish and how good it is etc. Well on these coasters I was having rubbing out the finish without...

    Pens... Lessons learned

    I am posting this for my own benefit as much as others. It always helps me to list out things learned, both good and bad. I hope this helps others, and maybe someone can add to the list. Or debate any point. All of this comes from my own observations, asking questions, mostly from Woodguy...

    Learned a new trick on the D4 today... [PICS!]

    Angled through-dovetails! 8-) I'm making a doll cradle for LOML Jr. This is a pretty cool technique, I think -- even if it does only have very limited application... :roll: For the curious, here's basically how it's done: First of all, you rout the pins first, instead of...
