    This is what I came up with for our closet. It's not enclosed, but it seemed like a good idea to allow for as much air flow as I could. :-)

    It's made of red oak & walnut, and assembled with...

    Woodworking in Pittsburgh?

    I'm going to be traveling to Pittsburgh for a couple of days next week, and I'll have some time to kill. Any woodworking sights, stores, or events I should look for?

    Thanks!

    The top is 16-3/4 x 11-1/4 max. I think I used about a 40" radius on both.
    The sides are 13-3/4 at the bottom and 8-1/2 at the top.
    Stringers are 14" long and 2-1/2" wide, with 1/2 x 2" tenons....

    LA Jack bit the dust

    Last week, my Veritas LA Jack took a nosedive off the bench onto the concrete floor. The sole is now convex front-to-back, with the bend centered near the mouth. When placed on a flat surface, the...

    As Jim said, the key is in the very small amount of material being removed. As i understand it, a perfectly flat plane will actually create a slightly concave surface on the wood. The length of the...

    My guess would be that the two dovetails are parallel to each other (not crossing), and 45 degrees from the faces of the legs. So each one goes from one leg face to an adjacent face, not the...

    Unless I'm missing something (which is very likely), couldn't you just use dividers around the circumference, just like you would do to divide a straight line?
