Take a look at these two threads.

I think many of the questions you asked...

Please count me in.

Sean,
Yes, touch and go's is a perfect description. I used that technique where it was hard to reach. I didn't really have any target length for each individual pass; it really varied...

I recently went through what you are talking about. I flattened a very large surface by hand. I put a link to my original post that has some pictures of the process. At any rate, my table was wide...

I don't know about pencils only, but here is one that you don't need a formula for. You will need a compass though. If you need me to elaborate a little bit more let me know.

The reason I say glue sapwood to sapwood is to give the table a seamless look. If you have sapwood on one side and heartwood on the other side you will have a very obvious glue line. I believe you...

It looks like the center board is not quartersawn, however the grain on both sides of that board is the same as quartersawn. The rest of the wood, if it is quartersawn, will only have the sapwood on...

I just posted a cherry table in the projects section. I used wider wood though. I left the sapwood because I like how it looks. Here is the link: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=127919

Peter,
Good question. Go back and look at the pictures in my second post. You can see the mortises and tennons there. You can't see that the mortises are all wider than the tennons (except...

I wasn't too nervous about the butterflies, for the most part. I was careful marking them from the pieces that would be inlayed then I removed most of the waste from the middle while leaving a little...

Thank you all for the comments. They are very encouraging. For my next projects I'll be sure to take more pictures and provide more explanation.

With regard to durability and spills: The table...

Thanks for the comments. I glued the top up in the rough state to get the top to finish up as thick as possible. I am sure there are other ways to do this.

For the joinery in the base it is all...

Thank you all for the comments. With regard to the chairs, I am not fully decided yet. I have to go though all my books and magazines again to see what I like and can get approval from my wife...

I posted this in the woodworking projects section. I think it would interest many of the readers of the Neanderthal persuasion. If the mods...

Here's a big jump to the finish. I used BLO and wax.

There's a picture of me with my daughter walking away.

My next pictures show the top of the table after I had progressed through the same steps as well as some smoothing. At this point you can see that the breadboard ends are cut as well as the spots...

I have a few pictures from the construction of my table. I got some ideas from all over for this one. The heaviest influence is obviously from the article in PW. The top finished at just under 2"....

I am still under 30 for now, clean shaven as well. I use hand tools for the vast majority of all that I do. The tailed apprentices do get used from time to time to break down rough stock.

I have the Grizzly G0514x2b. This is my first bandsaw, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I have been happy with it. It has done everything I have needed it to. I have resawed 11" Oak and...

I suspect that you can do it yourself. Disconnect from power, release all air pressure, and see if you can remove the current drain. Your local hardware store probably has a replacement with the...

Thanks for the post. Although I am a OSV member and drive by it every day on my way to work, I didn't realize this was going on. I would also like to meet some of the Creekers from the area.

It will eventually work itself out. The problem with eventually is that it can be a long time. My father had a piece of glass from a car accident stuck in his foot for 30 years. He was big on home...

For the end to end joints, I would consider doing those on the router table with a bit designed for finger joints. I know this is the neander section, but it would probably make your life a little...

I live in Brookfield so I am really interested to see if anyone else ends up with some good contacts. Here are a couple that I have used and am happy with.
