Buy yourself a budget$30-$40 caliper, one that has graduations in 0.001 inch, that's how to measure accurately. It will last you for years and years if you take care of it and you will use it for...

You can do almost everything by yourself. The only time I needed help was with the main body, I had two friends come over and we slid it (in the box) off the tailgate onto the garage floor using...

I like hard maple, white oak, and especially hickory for lighter colored woods, cherry and walnut are great choices for darker color. What color combination you want is up to you, you can't go wrong...
Frank, it would be impossible to measure a 2 foot distance with a typical caliper. Thats why you only cut off a 1/2" sliver or less on the fifth cut. When I used this method to square my sled I could...
I am a pharmacist and I do recommend them to people who are interested in reducing their cholesterol without a prescription, and to people who are looking for something to augment their current...
Very nice, I really like the extended blade guard off the back side. I have to re-do mine (because for some reason it's now so tight it wont even slide) and I'm going to have to incorporate that...
I just purchased custom cabinets for my house which was completed Nov 08. I dont think the cost was really all that out of line from mass produced stuff. I think the difference was $21,000 vs...
I wouldn't buy a Humminbird even if they cut their prices in half. Lowrance is the only way to go. The 125 is a great unit and what I use on the front of my boat, with the transducer on the trolling...
When you apply your topcoat the ebonizing treatment will get darker than it is right now, just try it out on some scrap wood and you'll see.
I've used the method you have but recently used india...
My original intent wasn't to ebonize the legs, that idea came to me only a month or two ago. I got to thinking that walnut may not be a great match to the bubinga, especially over time if the walnut...
Well I started work on this thing about one year ago not too long after I got my new Grizzly 513X bandsaw, I wanted to make a table that required the bandsaw to make bent laminations and curved or...
David is at the Appleton Woodcraft location today and tomorrow.
Matt thanks for that website. Very helpful and informative, seems like it's even worse than I imagined.
I always see these ads on TV and my builder/designer for my new house was telling me about a lady he's building for right now that has several of these types of "connections" or memberships across...
With all due respect, I also have an older Craftsman saw so I have some idea what you're referring to but I really fail to see what is to be gained by the incredible amount of work of moving the...
Well I'm pretty much sick of the glue creep from TB II, so the next time I glue up a table top (or most other things that require more than one board width) I'm going to be glueing it with DAP...
I remember a short photography class we had in high school, myself and a few other kids brought their shotguns and ammo in to school to be photographed for our projects. I don't remember even having...
Thanks,
I was wondering if using kiln dried wood would be a requirement, I thought it would be but didnt know.

I've been thinking for a while now about the feasibility of making my own wood flooring from rough lumber. I would just start off with a small room, like my master bath which is maybe 40 square...
I have an circa 1980 Craftsman that I inherited. The link belt and machined pulley was a tremendous upgrade, it used to shake so bad I was scared of it, now it passes any nickel or penny test I throw...
That's awesome ! 14,000 pounds :)
Waterlox Original S/F is my "go to" finish. It brushes or wipes on easily, has very good self leveling characteristics, adds very nice color to the wood, and has a good gloss. I dont have any spray...
VERY beautiful piece of furniture you've made there!
I have to ask more about that finish though, in my experience tung oil turns maple to a light brownish yellow but it didnt seem to add any...
Congrats on the haul! Although since I went to high school in Shawano I'm not supposed to like you Clintonville Truckers;)
Reading about "lumber gloats" are my favorite posts.
