Hi Gang, Just found the site there. I'm located in Raleigh where I do custom furniture, cabinetry and wine cellars. I'm an active member of the Cabinet Makers Association and am looking foward to being a member here. Art

This is a swing I made for my grandson. I bought a plan but didn't like it so I made my own. The wood is cypress. A happy customer. :lol: :lol: A couple of cherry clocks. I have not made many small projects like this. The glue up is kind of tedious. There are 9 pieces of wood in...

I got in some time in the shop this morning and got a few things done. I ordered this sign from work. It is 2 sided and comes with a neat cast hand saw looking bracket to mount to the wall with. I received the Wixey saw gauge for my birthday and installed it today (have not used it yet)...

Tonight was the night. My first solo pen. I had assisted DaveO on one...and he made sure I did not go flat..much like in a Tandem jump. I did learn a lot...and developed a few questions..but now is a time for trial and error. So here is the finished product..yes, I see a ton of errors too.

I am almost ashamed to ask this. On the other hand, if I do not ask at some point, I suppose that I will never learn. :eusa_booh Anyways... I have always done more refinishing and remodeling..so close cuts in wood were usually good enough. I knew that furniture would be a different story. And...

Haven't had the time to do all the turning I'd like to, but today decided I'd make some time. I know several others have done bottle stoppers, but this is my first attempt. I'm not sure the proportions are exactly where they should be, but the spalted, red oak I used makes up for a lot of...

Well, my goal was to complete the 36" bandsaw rebuild/upgrade before I leave again for China. All bearings have been replaced, brakes replaced with electronic braking, new lower door, and new blade guard fabricated by me. A picture is worth a 1000 words so it is on with the pictures. For the...

I'm seeking the best way to cut 6" S&D PVC with SQUARE ENDS for my dust collection system. I have tablesaw, bandsaw, Compound Miter Saw, Sawzall, skilsaw, jigsaw, dozuki, hack saws, dull handsaws, a pocket knife, various files, a grinder, coping saw, utility knife, scissors, PVC cutter w/ 1" max...

When I took a rocking chair class from John Richards, I used his 20" disc sander and was amazed how fast and accurate it was. Told John I was now spoiled and would have to get one of these. Found this one on Ebay, brand new in the box and at at GREAT price. Coundn't pass on it. Probally a good...

Hello again everyone. Been off the forum for a couple of months helping my wife start up her own real estate apprasial business. Boy am I glad to get bck to woodwoking. Anyway, been busy completing projects and have PICs to share. Below is pictures of the under stair project that was...

Hello all, I am looking for a full time employee. Interested and qualified persons should have a strong woodworking background, be customer service oriented, and enjoy sharing their woodworking experience with others. Retail experience will be considered a plus. Excellent people skills are...

:D Yep,... it's a little work but it works for me. Can't haul many either, but I don't want logs waiting on me. :lol: We could have used the tractor but I just wanted to see if this would work, as I had hoped. It worked Great, the log has a crotch at the far end and it loaded with no trouble, so...

I went through my morbidly obese stash of pen blanks the other day and weeded out some I just know I don't have time to use. I probably have around 100 or so blanks, mostly stuff like walnut, hickory, and curly maple. Nothing that is gonna raise the dead or anything. Would make nice gift pens...

When I'm fortunate enough to score some unusual wood, I always like to promise the person I obtained it from something in return made from that wood. After drying since last summer, today I finally was able to turning a bowl for a woman I work with who gave me pieces of her Magnolia that was...

Hi guys. Been a bit but thought I would post a few pics of a table I built for my girlfriend over the Christmas holiday. It was a fun project and took a bit more time than it should but I was trying to get the shop tools tuned as I went along including wireing a few of them up. Hope you like...

Well....I didn't think that I would get this done in time for Christmas, but everything seemed to be going my way this past few days! I made a duplicate of a night stand I had constructed for my oldest daughter back in spring. (Poplar, Birch Ply and oak top and drawer front. Stained the oak...

Here are a couple of shots of the recent outdoor project McRabbett and I havebeen working on. Normally a 12 x 15 deck isn't a big deal, but when it's 9' in the air and you need to put a French door into the side of a client's house where no door exists, it gets a little more exciting. We...

It's been almost 4 months since we did a "gather for a pint" social and I think it's time for another! If I remember correctly, the Cary area is most central for the Apex and Raleigh crowds. How does the Hibernian sound either late this week or early next week?

Well, I've been real anxious about this one, and it became reality today. About six weeks ago, David Tomasch and I had lunch together at a small deli sandwich place in Flat Rock near where he was working on a project. As we chatted over our hot roast beef sandwiches about tools that we need for...
