    Odd Size Dado?

    The plans for my current project call for boards (red oak) to be dimensioned to 1" thickness. However, in order to get flat boards I had to mill the rough-cut lumber to a dimension slightly less that 1", specifically 3/32". In the big scheme of things this shouldn't be too much of a problem...

    Odd Rocker Shoot (PICS!)

    As many know, Mike (Shamrock), Jeff (cyclopentadiene) and myself (WoodWrangler) took a class around this time last year with John (woodguy1975) on building a Maloof-style rocker. The rockers have all been done a while now, so we reunited and took them to the park for some pictures. It was a...

The place for the steps will be in the far...

    Need help clamping odd shape

    I need help. I got suckered into some reproduction work, I'm in the home stretch and now I am stuck. I rebuilt the legs like they were and now I don't know how to clamp this up. I have a few band clamps, but they slip up the legs when tightened.

    Very Odd Trivia

    Yesterday I turned a few pens. Sorry no photos yet. Anyway one of the blanks was one of the pearlized plastic/acrylic blanks. I had not used any of these before and decided to make a pen for my 15 year old daughter. Within seconds of the bit hitting the blank, I got a huge smile on my face...
