Bill, if I posted every project where I had introduced a 'design opportunity' I'd violate some file size rule - in short pretty much 90% of my finished projects do not turn out like the design I had...

Beautiful work. The dimensions of the legs are somehow more pleasing to me than most things in that style - are they larger than 'normal'?

You'll probably get better answers, but I've used the cheek offcuts to glue back on the tenon cheek, then have another go at sizing the tenon from there. Since the tenon is not visible it doesn't...

That's awesome! I like the style of it, and the message is great.

I don't come out of hiding very often, but those are spectacular. Great design, beautifully executed.

Well done, you.

Zipper club member myself (5x). Glad you're doing well. Only advice I would offer is to take it easy while you're healing up - it took me the better part of a year to get back to my version of...

Jim, the cabinets look great. Could you expand on how you used the golden mean divider in the design of the cabinet please?

Thanks,

Jeff

I have one mounted to the bottom of my roubo-ish bench, no apron just screwed into the bottom. Vice works great. Only thing I might do differently is mount the vice inside of the leg so I had better...

Great design, great look, great execution. Unique and very cool. Thanks for posting and thanks to John for sending you over here.

Nicely done! I'm curious how you joined the lower stretchers to the legs?

I like the seperate box - for keeping bonsai tools?

Nice job.

Athough my skills are woefully inadequate, I find these tutorials to be a great way to learn new stuff, some of which I can even apply to my humble projects.

Speaking for myself, I'd love to see...

You have my ringing endorsement! the project was obviously a good call.

Best,

Jeff

Great tutorial, as always. Thank you for posting.

One quick question, is there any advantage to lining up the end grain of the dowel so it runs with the grain of the stile? I thought I read...

Nice design, very well executed. I especially like the mahogany arch under the apron, and the detail that connects the mahogany to apron in the center. From the pics it looks like the mahogany has a...

as always, a fine job documenting your process, and very helpful. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve with dovetails, but each one of these tutorials takes me a step, or several, in the right...

Beautiful! details are really nice, especially lining up the lighter shaded parts of the knobs.

unless I take the lightest of passes, which doesn't really mark all that well, I have the same problem. I assumed it was operator error because it usually is when a decently made tool doesn't work...

Beautiful cabinet, I'm a sucker for the contrasting maple/walnut. Lucky charity.

The feet add a nice touch, I like the angular form - to my eye they anchor the whole thing very nicely.

Thanks for posting these - I love the lamp especially, unique and very interesting design. I can see now I have to re-think some elements of my current lamp project.

Went to David's class in his shop in Santa Rosa, bought the dvd as a refresher, which I use less and less as I work through projects. The dvd is well done, it does cover gold leaf gilding, which in...

George Wilson and Harry Strassil both would be great adds to the list.

ymmv, but tips I've picked up at this, and other sites, are helping me build better technique - None of these are my ideas, all borrowed from guys here. I'm just here to testify that they work.

After I became an injury statistic (3 finger tips on my guitar playin hand), I sold it. I used a table saw and all manner of other power tools for over 20 years.

I have to agree though that a...

They have some nice craftsmanish hardware in their catalogue, some that I don't recall seeing other places.

It's worth a look.

not an expert here, but it's possible that in addition to the other things already mentioned the economy is causing them both to re-think a new product intro.

I would think gaining acceptance of...
