    How to bend wood like this - Outdoor furniture project

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    Looking for a new project to do. I've been spending a few months upgrading the workshop / fixing minor annoyances, and really need to actually build something. I ran across this in a magazine ad. The furniture is supposedly solid teak, though I don't think that will be in the cards for...

    Bad job coming

    Thread Starter: Tom M King

    I have these two raised panel garage doors to refinish on a lake rental house. Just testing a couple of panels, it won't be too bad sanding down to bare wood, but someone had put another coat of marine varnish on the bottom two sections, so those are going to get some work with a heat gun before...

    Milling machine as a mortiser

    Thread Starter: andrew whicker

    Dumb answers to dumb questions

    Thread Starter: Zachary Hoyt

    I used to feel frustrated when I would have listed something for sale on Craigslist or Facebook and included the town where I lived, and instead of looking it up on their devices people would write to me to ask "where is Orwell" (where I used to live) or now "where is Piercefield?". I finally...
