Well, I ordered 2 holdfast's from Lie-Nielsen today and they said they would be shipped Mon. I hope they work ok. Will let you all know how they work when I get them.
Well, I liked the wood he has in his workbench. Looks like a piece of crotch cherry to me.
I have a 2002 buick. Went to start it and batt. was dead. Put in a new batt. after 7 day's it was dead again. I took it to the dealer and they checked it out for two days. They said the computer was...
Congratulations John, I am not a turner but I know good work when I see it.
John, that is one nice table. If your wife don't like it just send it to me. I was wondered what happen to you. I took some time off of woodworking also. I built a nite stand out of walnut for a...
Brett, That is one fine bed. I like your choice of wood also. Your son will have that for a lot of years and yes dad made it. enjoy. Carl L. Goff
Andrew, Nice box. I like your choice of cherry. It will get darker every year.
I don't know for sure but it could be used to sharpen knives on a sycle bar for a horse drawn mowing machine without taking the knives off the cycle bar. Just a guess but it would work for that.
John-Paul, Go to this web site www.handcutdovetails.com The dovetails that you are thinking of doing is a lot different than regular dovetails. This website has a book on how to do the dovetails that...
Frank, two yrears ago I went through what you are going through today. I had a friend that had the #7 and #8 Ln and he let me try both in his shop. I used them both and I liked the #8 better. Not to...
157882 I use polident. :D
Yes Dave D. that is one nice piece of furn. You also done a nice job on the dovetails. Cherry is my favorite wood to work with. The dawer fronts looks like they came from the same long.
Nice work as always John. I like the QSO. She should be proud of the bed and night stand. Like you I make stuff for the family also. Stay cool.
Dave, I can only say what the rest have already said. Your work is fantastic. I really like the william and mary lowboy and highboy.
Now, that is one nice table. Thanks for sharing. By the way that is a nice looking dog also.;)
I really like it, nice work.
Alex S.
Yes you can. I use it for my #8.
Steve,
I tried out the #7 and #8 and bought the #8. They both work great. Either one would work, just a matter of preference. I liked the extra weight...

I like your candle box and choice of wood. I made one out of walnut and started to make one out of curly maple also. the one that I made is half the width of yours, but the same lenght and...
I have used the Veritas jig for two years now and like it. The only problem I have with it, my old finger's can't tighten it tight enough so I use a pair of plyers to tighten it and release it....
Harlan, I have tried several different finishes on cherry. I only use Formby's tung oil finish ( low gloss ) now. I put on 3 to 4 coats and hand rub between coats and put a coat of paste wax when...
It would be nice if you can get some pictures of the bed when you have the time so we can look at it.
Todd, you done good. I really like it. It looks like it will stand anything.
Martin S., Yes I used 1.5" square legs tapered down from the apron to 5/8" at the bottom. I don't see why you can't use 1.375" to start with and go down to .625". on this size table. Now sayin that...
A real nice bed and I like the wood grain also. Now you will have to make two night stands to match:D
