Thanks for the compliment. The breadboards ended a little wider to help get the total length I wanted. When I glued up the top, I ended up with some tearout and a not perfect joint at one end. The...

Thanks for the compliment. The breadboards ended a little wider to help get the total length I wanted. When I glued up the top, I ended up with some tearout and a not perfect joint at one end. The...
Thank you both. The sapwood in the ash really does add to the piece, though it was a bugger to work with.
I'll be honest, I was looking forward to trying a through mortise for the stretcher... next...
I bought a Morakniv 163 hook knife a little while ago, and finally dug into some scraps. I didn't use it exclusively, but these were all shaped by hand using knives, rasps, planes and sandpaper. The...

This isn't something for sale, but the girlfriend fell in love with a table at the Mercantile Exchange antique and resale shop in town and asked for something similar to use as a desk in our...
I picked up about 15 bd.ft. of mulberry at $3/ bd.ft; it has a gorgeous yellow, almost iridescent hue to it, is ring porous and moderately dense. It seemed to plane well. I've read that it ages to a...
Kreis Sawmill in Marysville has excellent prices, and usually a lot of domestics in stock.
I have the 18v XRP drill and love it for most everything. I am yet to wish I had a less powerful cordless drill. That said, I'm planning on expanding the arsenal soon with one of the Li-ion kits. ...
So I've found my self with an abundance of shop time over the last few months, and I'm on the verge of having created more things than I have places or uses for. This is probably a common problem.

Watch this comment, as it is likely the source of the problem:
I don't need to go to their store when prices online are often better. The knowledge base and opinions are far wider and often...
Completely agree on the colors. I'm still enamored with any combination of maple, walnut or cherry in their natural color state. This was a situation where I was trying to match some existing...
Yeah, it was the store over in Gahanna. I don't want to trash the store itself; I just had a very poor impression of the industry representatives that attended.
As for the store itself, it seemed...
Well I just got back from the Winter Expo at Woodwerks in Columbus, OH; and I'm curious if there were any other attendees.
My brief thoughts, as this was my first time attending any event like...
Well I finished off a few projects that I've had planned or started for a while. The ladder shelf is all cherry, and by far the largest piece I've built to date. Certainly learned a lot during its...
According to the manual it will do:
From some other reviews, it seems the 9oz numbers are a little high and the 20oz numbers are a little low, maybe 30% in each direction....
Success! Kobalt! I knew it was one of the more common brands.
Any experience using them with a framing nailer? I've got some deer blinds to build this spring, and don't really want to haul a...
Hey all, looking for a little help locating a regulator kit for the CO2 tanks for paintball guns to connect one to a pneumatic nail gun.
If anyone has any experience, or a source for something...
Now we're getting out there a bit. For store bought breads, the fridge will prevent mold for a few extra days, but they tend to go stale faster. Not such a big deal if you tend to toast your bread...
John, I thought about that too, I only glued the bottom across the back edge, the sides and front are fastened with some elongated screw holes through the base.
I expect a bit of movement in the...
Finally got back to finish up some more Christmas presents, after a 6-day hiatus to Mexico.
This breadbox is a mix of hard maple and spalted sycamore. No excuses, but I'm fairly happy with the...
Delivered over Thanksgiving. I couldn't wait to give it to the little guy.
I'm working on a breadbox made from maple with a spalted sycamore front door. No stain or dye, but I'm wondering if I should follow any special procedure with the sycamore to stabilize the coloring...
1. End every drive in a kick.
2. Play after every storm.
3. It's not that it takes all kinds, just that we have them.
4. Same dog, different pile.
High School - either Calc. or Wood Shop... but not because it's a hobby now. Our class required pre-planning and layout calculations and cost estimates before even touching a tool. That forethought...
+1 on the Fit. I've had an '07 Civic coupe for almost 3 years, and been very happy with it.
The rear seat system is pretty neat, and the potential cargo space really impressive. In the spirit...
