thought

but apparently not :embarrassed: so here goes I've been woodworking in one way or other since i was a teenager; started out helping my dad with various carpentry projects and then when i got out of college went to work framing large fancy houses, all types of roofing and siding at...

Here's a tray I put together for a good friends wedding shower. I did the rose over a year ago with the intent of using it in a different project.

This all started because I wanted to see if I could hand cut dovetail joints (not easy...I still need to practice). So I built a simple box. (The picture quality isn't very good. I'm not really set up to take good pictures.) Then I decided that I should do something different for the lid...

Welcome to day 2 of the Gulf crisis, oops wrong website. :gar-Bi Obviously a great amount of my time has been spent dealing with NCWW issues the past 36 hours. This morning while talking to my wife I had some thoughts and I want to share them. 1. I feel a certain amount of freedom in the...

After last week's 100+ heat and humidity, who would have thought that a day in the nineties would actually feel GOOD? If it wasn't for the humidity, I would throw open the shop doors tonight. It's cooler outside than inside right now. By morning outside will be even cooler.

There is a nice calculator here: http://www.woodworkerssource.com/movement.php One of the reasons I thought to post this today was because of a couple of postings I did recently about getting pretty accurate on the cheap. Here are a few salient points mentioned in the notes below the...

The lathe has been passed and is in use. I've had a thought that I would like to share with the board. The lathe package, as I understand it, includes the lathe,turning tools, chuck, and sharpening system. With one exception, it seems to be a fairly complete system for the beginner. I think...

Hi there I have been ask to turn a pair of pieces for an appliance that attaches to a kitchen aid mixer. They are used to push apples through a screen to make apple sauce. Question #1. What type of wood? #2 What type of finish #3 where is the best place to get the blamks. I thought about hard...

I don't know how many folks are aware of this product: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000224SA/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=1098602861&ref=pd_sl_8j09wv8iyx_b about $150 for a beam cutting attachment, but you need a good worm drive saw to power it. I see Tom (Toolferone) just put one up for sale cheap...

I met Rob (McRabbet) Down in Winston this morning. Very nice of him to help a widow sell her late hubbies tools. Got the drill press home in my Forester, had planned to take the truck but my son changed my plans for me. :rotflm: Did a little minor rust cleanup and everything works perfectly...

Afternoon all, I have been using mostly hard and soft woods grown here in the good ole US of A for the majority of my woodworking life, thus far. I sprinkle in a few exotics like Brazilian Cherry, Purpleheart and Maca(though this one is getting darn near impossible to get my hands on...) now and...

Who would have thought buying tools was so hard. I have a question about a bandsaw and could use some advise. I have been looking at purchasing a bandsaw. This will be my first bandsaw and I didn't want to make the mistake (tablesaw???) of buying something and out-growing it in a year. I...

I joined yesterday and haven't done much with the site yet. I guess I have some updating to do and I need to find some pictures. Everyone is talking about wood sources. Does anyone have any time sources, because I could use more time to get to some woodworking? Walt Milowic

My oldest daughter just turned three and I was actually able to finish this project on-time... I guess. I had been working on this step stool for several months. All of that other stuff gets in the way... you know that 9 to 5 stuff.:roll: My daughter needed a good step stool to reach the...

When the ladies were over the other night buying pens, they liked the fan pulls but ask why I only had them in singles and not in pairs. I replied that all of my fans only use one, my light are controlled by wall switches. She reminded me that there are two chains coming out of the fans and...
