Thanks for your response to my question.
I'll take it . Please let me know your Paypal address.
I am finishing a cover for a cast iron radiator. It was made from scrap wood I had available including the butcher block top. I am usaully a break the edge guy, but in the case of the top I thought a...
Bill,
Congratulations on off-the-saw dovetails and on wide boards to boot.
That saw handle on the larger back saw is amazing.
Ron
I ordered a few of the Narex Richters from Taylor Tools.
Good company to work with.
Bill,
Funny you mentioned a laser level. I used one when I built a small timber-frame building on a hillside. It worked great to help me create level pilings.
I didn't even remember it for the desk...
Rod,
I am up to 57 years with a few breaks along the way when I temporarily thought "quitting was a good idea."
Those breaks didn't last long and I am happily rolling along on a 1976 BMW R90/6...
The only reference surface for determining the tops of the two legs is the floor or at the moment the surface that the crosspiece sits on.
I laid the legs and cross piece on a tabletop and put a...
Jack, good save recognizing that "there was something in there." Now the question is what that something wants to be.
I wouldn't usually choose to put glass on top of a wood table, but in this case,...
Cutting the dadoes went well for the first pass. The 3/4" plywood used to fix the legs in a standing position while sliding over the dado stack did the job.
The only problem was that the plywood...
Beautiful finish, Prashun.
Tell me about the walls in the first picture. When we were remodeling our kitchen, we would write notes to each other on the unfinished walls. When the kitchen and walls...
Another day, a little progress
Using a spokeshave to fair the curve of the leg base

Used some high-tech spacers to mark a flat section on the leg base so the dado in the legs could sit...
Book match doors look great with some natural edge.
Nice save on the frame.
And enjoying it ("in a way was kinda fun figuring out the proper steps to fix it.") rather than kicking yourself all day...
I am making progress.
With no reference surfaces and each leag being different in every way, getting them set the way I wanted and fixed so that they could be worked on was a challenge.
The...
I bought a gallon of 190 proof denatured alcohol from Alliance Chemical - alliancechemical.comEthyl Alcohol Denatured 190 Proof - One Gallon - in (4) 32 FL Oz Bottles. $36 and free shipping

Very nice. Gracefully tapered legs, half-blind dovetails, attractive grain.
It would be a quality piece no matter if your first or fiftieth finished piece.
Thanks for the comments, guys.
It is true that the LV guide will work with any backless saw.
My write-up was based on my experience. Unfortunately, my saw is Gyokucho, a high-quality saw...
Bob,
Many good suggestions. Maybe too many to check out. As someone suggested, find one video series that appeals to you and stick with it until you have enough experience to decide you want another...
The clean, simple appearance is perfect. Don't you love it when an idea comes together so well. And the photography presents it very well.
Buiding a walnut desk roughly 28 x65".
It will have a drawer pedestal at one end and two rustic pieces of an unknown wood as legs at the other end.
The top is already joined from three boards with...
The generosity and support of the Creek allowed me to experiment with the three best-known dovetail saw guides. I thought it might be helpful to share my thoughts after making multiple dovetails...
Table looks great.
Including knots or other "defects" to me is a positive statement that this came from a tree.
Beautiful design.
I particularly like the use of the sapwood.
A small spray bottle to wet the stones.
A small bucket to wash the slurry off the stones.
Lots of old t-shirts or other rags to wipe off the chisels
And the good news - They are all free (or close...
Jim, don't be too hard on your assembly and design guys. This "woodworking" project might be better called a math problem - calculus anyone? In any case, thanks for sharing both the problem, the...
