    UPDATED ** Cutting boards weeping

    I made cutting boards for a few members of my family this year for Christmas. I read a lot about finishing them and decided to go with the simple mineral oil approach. However, me being me... I decided to amp it up a little. Most everything I read stated to heat the oil to allow better...

    Lathe boring jig updated

    LOML wanted some wooden curtain rods for our front windows. Problem is, they only came 8' long & the window was 9' + to outside of casing. So I needed to splice 2 rods together to make the length. I'm using a splined rod, so it has to align fairly straight. Here's how I built a jig to line...

    Warped Unifence ** UPDATED **

    A few years ago, like many on here, I was able to get in on the Lowes clearance of their Unifence stock. Unfortunately, the fence is slightly bowed in the center. I haven't measured yet, but it's between a 32nd, and a 64th. Enough to cause saw marks on my stock. Looking for ideas on how to...

    Delta DP200 drillpress? UPDATED to Gloat

    Anyone have one of these that they could provide feedback on? I'm going to look at one NIB tonight after work and wondering if it's worth the trip. I know this is far from top of the line even for Delta but I need something small for the time being and thought this might fit the bill for a...

    1ST Grandchild Project (WIP) - Completed!

    We are being blessed with our first grandchild. Our oldest daughter is due in January 2010. Among the many projects on the list was a baby cradle. I searched the web and found one that was published awhile back in Woodsmith magazine that she really liked. I ordered the plan and cheated a bit...

    New Shop Diary - Updated 16 August 2009

    I added the most recent pic at the bottom of this thread. It has been a while since I posted an update. The old thread is closed so.... I've been busy and here is a current pic. The roof sheathing is on and roofing felt is on so no more tarp! I will start getting the trim on and hopefully...

    Updated features FAQ.....

    Before we get a lot further, would it make sense to start a single thread where we post new features of the upgrade? I'm happy to setup a webtemplate or start a new thread somewhere. Maybe add a link to a doc from that nifty scrolling status thing. Jim

    My New Shop Update - Thread Updated 10 May 2009

    Last month I posted about taking down a shop to move to my house. It is (well was) a 16x24 building. I guess it still is now, it is just in various bits and pieces laying flat on the ground. Anyway, I got the piers poured and beams set a bit ago. Next week I am taking off work to...

    Stump workings (updated with pics this time)

    Well, yesterday the weather was nice and I decided to tackle another section of the big maple stump. It looked like this.... And then I sliced off a slab leaving this.... Of course, in order to get the saw into certain places, I had to cut off some of the root growth. Which netted me this...

    The Ernie Miller Story (ARTICLE IN REPLY)

    As I was flipping through my new American Woodworker mag, I came across a story about a guy who makes harpsichords. Wait a minute! That's ErnieM! Yep folks, our own ErnieM is featured in a four page story in this month's issue of AW. How cool is that? We knew he was good, but now the world will...

    Stackable end tables *UPDATED WITH NEW PICS*

    Joe was right. You don't need no steekin' plans. Just cut some wood :-) I'm making the tables out of some QS Sycamore. It's a great wood to work with. Cuts easily, light, and no splintering. The only tough part is that the highly figured sections are prone to tearout. Man I wish I had a drum...

    UPDATED 10,000-15,000 BF walnut

    I just got a call from a friend of mine who is an attorney (okay, no jokes, he's a real estate guy) who put me in touch with someone who needs to move 10-15 THOUSAND board feet of walnut rather quickly. I have not seen it, it's air dried, he's been collecting it over the past 30 years. It's...

    Cherry stereo cabinet WIP - Updated Again w/More-Almost Done-Ready for finishing

    My parents wanted a stereo cabinet to hold their stereo components, XM radio receiver, and CD collection but were unable to find anything that fit the area they wanted it located in nor in the style they liked. I said that I would make it for them if they provided me the specs. Here's what I got...

    [UPDATED] And the peppermill making begins ...

    After a Turn & Learn last month with peppermills as the topic, I've decided they will be a good gift for many at Christmas. This past weekend I got a start on it ... and learned a "hard" turning lesson. The lesson being ... turning end grain is nearly impossible -- especially with Padauk...
