Hello All,

It is with deep sadness I must announce that the woodworking show that John Sillaots, Ken Tunnard and I have worked so hard to get off the ground, is dead.

No matter how hard we all...

Hi All,



Yes Brent, it's the same shop but with a lot of updates.



John, I hadn't thought of it but thanks for the great idea.

Hi Peter,

If you liked the hall mirror project, you just might like the tall clock project, here is the link. http://gordgraff.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc
It's a four part video that...

Howdy Brent,

The show will be shot in John's shop; it's perfect for video shoots.
We will also be taking the show on the road from time to time, visiting other woodworkers of interest in their...

Hi Mike,

I do believe that it's a 20" planer, I'll check though.

Gerry, does it really matter what happened to John's moustache, so long as it's gone, that's the main thing.:D:D:D

All the...

Hi Doc,

Thanks for the well wishes.

If you liked the video I did on making a mitre gauge, you love what we are doing now. The difference between the two is night and day.

All the best
Gord

Hi All,

Thanks so much for your kind words; I’m sure you won’t be disappointed, I'm putting my name on it.


Brent;


The show will appeal to the many levels of woodworkers (easy to say but...

Hi All,

Exciting news! There’s a new woodworking show coming to the internet in September called ‘Into The Workshop’. This is an independent production brought to you by the combined forces of...

Hello All,

Yes it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to sit down at the computer and to say I’ve been very busy is an understatement.

However, that being said, I come to you with a gift of...

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you liked it.

All the best
Gord

Hello All,

Here is part 2 of the Pine Hall Mirror project and if you think I never make a mistake when it comes to building a project, you’d be wrong. I made a minor one here on this project and...

Hello All,

Thanks once again for all your kind words and comments.

I dug up the biscuit jointer jig and placed it on the board as a new post,
I hope it helps.

All the best
Gord

Part 2........


Photo #7 simply shows the placement of the two extra screws that are needed for extra strength in the split fence and they are installed on the opposite side to what we’ve been...

Hi All,

Since there has been a number of questions and comments raised about the biscuit jointer jig I used in the Pine Hall Mirror video http://blip.tv/file/688794 in another thread, I thought...

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your kind words, I'm tickled pink (okay, a manly shade of red) that people are getting something that they can use out of these videos. And if you make one, you have to post...

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your kind words, I'm really happy you liked it.

Yes that was the famous biscuit jointer jig that I did for Fine Woodworking Magazine. I didn't give it much thought,...

Hello Keith,

I'm not a huge fan of this style of woodworking but when it pays the bills why look a gift horse in the mouth. I'm glad your mother in law likes it and building one in reclaimed pine...

Hi Brian,

One other thing needs to be said here on my part.

I really do appreciate the kind folks here at Saw Mill Creek for their support, comments and suggestions. You folks here, have been...

Hello Brian,

You and I think alike.

I've been planning on putting a video together in the near future that deals with workshop jigs, fixtures and solutions to workshop problems. If you've got...

Hi All,

A number of years ago when pine furniture was the “in thing”, I was asked to design and build a hall mirror that was not only practical but also visually appealing. After a number of...

Hi Jim,

Rockler has a great price on miter bars..................I'm tempted.

Thanks for your kind words, I really enjoy doing these videos and it's my hope that woodworkers will find value in...

Howdy Keith,

Man, you can't beat a price like that, nice haul.

I drilled and tapped 4 miter bars using one drill bit. Drilling steel doesn't take as long as you might think, it has more to do...

Hi All,

I'm so please that so many of you are getting "something" out of this video.
It was my goal from the very beginning to try and give everyone, something that they could use in their...

Hi Colin,

Thanks for you kind words.
More are on the way; in a very small way it's me giving back to woodworking what woodworking has given to me over the years.

All the best
Gord

Hi Mike,

Thanks, it's good to be back.
I'm glad that you went ahead and built a miter gauge, sorry your friend hasn't returned it. Sounds like you and I share the same bad back.
I'm happy you...
