I wish I had more time to be on the creek. But I like your piece. Keep on making chips and saw dust. I too agree the top is a little thin but I think why it stands out is the leg size.

Very nice bookcase. I will have to try that some time. Good luck on finishing it up. I think you need a little bit more then just wax to seal it up. You know how oak tends to wander. Maybe a...

Hi There:
I have used a few models of the Toughbooks over the past few years. As far as saw dust is concerned I can't answer that question. The ones I used were used in mapping caves. Yes Caves. ...

No but that is a great idea. I am cutting some this weekend and I will try that out.

thanks for the idea

Hey there and Welcome to the Creek.

That is a nice bench you made. I am letting a good amount of 2x4's stabilize in the shop for the same reason. I like the leg vise very much and I may...

Keep us informed about the dressers etc. It will be nice to see...

Thanks for all the feedback.
From what I have read and glued together for the replies is.

2. Works better with hand tools then power tools.
3. Can splinter easy
4. Works...

I'll take voids any day. They just show up on finished and need to be filled. I found a pencil in a piece of HD 3/4 oak vernier plywood. It's sorta like lead, but not quite :o. Too bad that you...
