    Turning tool rack - simple but effective

    I knocked up this tool rack for my HF lathe at the weekend after getting fed up having to unearth the tools from mountains of shavings when they were sitting on a shelf under the lathe. This one has a gap at the top so that I can get to the nuts under the tool rest and tail stock. Has a gap...

    Simple Holiday Decorations

    I got the inspiration for these after seeing some small turnings made to look like little bird houses. Those were nice enough but thier shape remineded me of little acorns. While I found that it was a nice detail to add a mesh pattern on the cap by using a knife, it is much nicer to have the...

    Finished a small and "simple" project

    Once again LOML volunteered us for something and I had to whip it together in pretty short notice, like 3 or 4 days. :elvis: This time it was to make a craft/scrapbooking caddy for our son's preschool fundraiser. I've never built one so I kinda just rough sketched something out and whipped it...

    I like simple projects ...

    And these are about as simple as they come. I've held on to these RT legs ever since making a cabinet-enclosure, and wondering what to do with them; now I know. The platform is a piece of 3/8" BB, with 3/8 cheap-grade ply strips underneath. Fir scraps provided the edging. The stereo-cubby...

    Simple Clamp Rack/Storage

    Made this from scraps yesterday. I don't own as many clamps as many of you, so this should serve me well as I add to my collection. Has a capacity of 21 pipe style or bar clamps. Thanks for looking. Comments welcomed. And, a loaded version---

    Simple project but loads of personal satisfaction

    Here are two banks I made for the grandkids. Very simple project but I got a lot of joy watching them make deposits. www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/data/1219/banks2.jpg And here's ole granddad teaching them the value of saving money. They had a ball dropping coins and bills into them. They cleaned...

    Simple, Custom Metal working...

    I would like to see if anyone (or knows of someone who) does basic metal working. The trunk I bought to put on my motorcycle needs some type of rack to which it can be attached. (This is what I got on eBay) Although there are after market luggage racks available, I don't want to spend...

    Simple drawer joint

    I would like to make a small nest of drawers. Nothing fancy, more for parts/junk than for "furniture". Drawers would be about 6" square, 2-1/2" deep. I'm wondering about what I might use for a simple, strong joint for fastening the drawer fronts to the sides. Emphasis on...

    Drilling a simple little hole

    How would you drill a simple hole straight and centered on the end of a 7' 4x4 post? Going to be a bed post. Hole is for the finial. Have thought about about it and can't come up with a solution. No lathe available and I am not sure a 7' post would even fit on all but the longest ones...

    Simple but functional wood storage rack

    A little somthing I put together yesterday. Been needing a better storage system instead of the old rickety table I had been using. Especially now that I will be soon picking up some cherry. Cleaned this catchall table off and will use it for keeping the milled lumber sorted that is part of a...

    Simple Upgrade!

    I decided this week that my Delta 14" bandsaw could do with a little maintenance. I replaced the stock tensioning spring with a "Cobra Coil" and the upper and low guide blocks with "Cool Blocks". Well let me just say that those two simple upgrades have made a world of difference for this saw...

    plain and simple

    It seems like over the last few weeks I have been doing a lot of experimenting and glue ups with some successes and more than my share of failures. Yesterday I decided to make a pen that I enjoyed doing.Something that is tried and true.One I could do for relaxation with no head aches or...

    Simple, But IMPORTANT Project

    Well, this weekend begins the annual woodworking project of major importance to me. My boys and I begin working on their pinewood derby cars for Cub Scouts. Last year was the first year for both boys, even though my youngest wasn't "officially" a scout yet. We allowed him to make one and race...

I have 8' ceilings and was wondering what heights to mount French Cleats - haven't decided on 1 or 2 horizontal strips. I am sure many before have thought about this and decided on what seems like...

    Trimming doors- simple X-cut sled mod *w/pics*

    After the trouble I had trimming the last set of doors for my backbench upper cabinets I decided there must be a better way. So I made a simple, temporary mod to my X-cut sled that does the trick. Since my sled has a low (slightly > 3/4" high) fence I was able to mount a piece of ply to the top...
