Worked on this gun rack with my younger brother for our dad. It didn't come out exactly like I had planned. Joining together the kickers with the back post via dowels wasn't that good of an idea in...

Is it acceptable to ask project problems/questions in this section or should I go to another section?

Well, Don you could be right because I was working with this stuff last night and it was RIDICULOUSLY hard. I've never broken so many screws even after drilling holes. Wowza.

Thanks all for the...

Looking through this, I think you all are right.

It doesn't take a thumbprint it seems very hard to me. Not sure about the smell I didn't think to smell it :p before I put a coat of natural stain on it.

Thanks for the help. It'll become a coat...

I'm pretty sure this is the right forum.

Anyways I'm trying to figure what kinda wood this is, any ideas?

The bandsaw box is excellent. Where can I read about this technique I've never heard of it before?:confused:

It's Douglas Fir as confirmed by the aunt whose house was built with it (finally got ahold of her).

It's in columbia, tn and its gorgeous.

You guys are awesome as usual thanks for the quick replies. :)

Are there any other pictures I could take to identify it?

I am considering cutting it on edge to make a end cut table top.

Any help? I have no idea what this is :confused:

You guys as usual are awesome. I will have some driving to do this weekend! I will have to check out all these places. :)

I will report back on what I can find and if I find any other information.

I just moved to the Bellevue area in Nashville.

A few questions. Are there any shops around here that let you work in them for a small fee or something like that? I read awhile back about some...

Yeah looking at them, the ones that I used the least on and scrapped it in more do look a lot better. I guess I will just go back over them and add a little more putty to get them nice and flat.

It's not some of the intense work you all do, but I am proud of it none the less.

Cornhole boards, this is one of two.

I do have one question though. When I puttied over the screws, and then...

That is one beautiful workbench. If you take that much pride in that, I would like to see a piece for inside use!

Newbie question for you (or anyone) but how in the world is the top attached to...

I really liked that, one thing I am trying to figure out is how in the world does he attach the torsion box to the stand?

If you want to post that website that would be awesome. I am looking at building one and I am trying to learn as much about them as I can.

I have been looking at torsion boxes and they seem very cool and like something that would stand up to the abuse of being around a bunch of 20 year olds all the time.

I've found some articles, but...

Looks like an Elm to me too. Go for it, hard to beat free wood!

I agree with Larry Fox also, it does look like it grew and then got buried/submerged and...

Here is the design I am pondering over. This will be my first serious piece.

I don't have any idea how to attach the legs and what I should do? I've also never really thought about it, but how do...

Ok I see now. I like this table a lot. I can't wait to see pictures of the finished piece.

I'm pretty new to SMC and definately don't have 1/8th of the knowledge of everyone on here, but that looks really good, and will make a great outside table for barbecues imagine the buffett line on...

Thanks for the ideas gents, its early in the summer and our classes don't start until the end of August so I have time. I will keep looking for designs that catch my eye. Also getting back into SU...

This is my first post, I have enjoyed reading for awhile and looking at everyones great ideas.

So, now that, that is out of the way. I am looking to build two dining room tables. The biggest...
