I'm building a bookcase for my daughter to store the her toys and books. Made from maple and HD birch ply. I need to finish it to match existing furniture in her room. It's what I think people...

I made this for a friend at my old job. He's rehabbing a Emmert vise (I did the electro rust removal for him in trade for a bunch of old chisels) and he traded me an old ww vise for making him the...

Japanese hand saw and a small needle file to clean up the saw marks.

It's pretty easy, though on a small bowl I recently did, it took a while to make all those cuts. I mask the rim with tape,...

Thanks, Clara.

There was a post a number of months back, by Scott Hubl, talking about colored peices. There was a link to an artist's website, who specializes in colored, peirced peices. I...

This one's been done for a while, but I misplaced the base to my camera so I couldn't take a picture till I found it.

10" high with 3-1/4" being the top diameter. Wall is a little less than 1/4"...

20" bar here too, wouldn't mind having a 25 at times. Was using 20" bar Poulan Pro until the wife got me a MS361 for our aniversary.

Been so busy I haven't had the chance to try it out. It's...

Rich, that's awesome. Good job.

I've been wanting to make one ever since I read malcolm's book. The main thing taht stops me is having to make 3 things the same. I suck at duplicates and...

Keith, I really like that finial. Really elevates over a "standard" finial.

Ray, Target was one place I didn't check. After Wal-mart didn't have anything I resigned myself to getting them from Dick's sporting goods.

I've been working on one for most of today. Close to done. Should look something like this. Pretty easy and painless. Largest expense was the wheels. Like $34 for 8 wheels. Couldn't find them in any...

Quite happy with it, and I do spray, run some palm sanders, die grinders,...

Thanks, Dale. I started with the black. It seemed the obvious thing to do at the time, but now that you asked, I couldn't tell you my reasons. I think it was just easier mentally, like building a...

Thank everyone, I was going for a fire effect, though I suppose the top cutting elements should have been somewhat curved to be more like fire. To be honest it was hard enough cutting into a...

This peice was inspired by a thread a number of weeks ago about dyed pieces, especially a link to Micheal Allisons work.

It's a piece of lightly spalted maple that I dyed using transtint (red,...

Turned these for my little brother's birthday.

This is so strange, I had this exact conversation at work the other day. Reportedly there are industrial uses of this exact same type of dust filter, Torit was mentioned as one possible source. ...

James iI assume you mean the pipe coming from the ceiling. If so, it's the celing drop for the dust collection on the sander.

If your refering to the black square tube in front of the sander,...

I recently took pictures to show the mostly finshed dust collection to some folks at work and through I would throw them up.

Rich, as far as i know Powermatic is the only game in town for a 20" disc sander. Check the powermatic website or osolnik machinery. It's big money for a big metal disc attached to a motor, but if...
