Ed, you didn't say how far out the stone will be from the wall. If the stone is built out from the wall it can help support the mantel. Visually, if the stone veneer is thin and placed directly on...
Hi Scott,
Pacing a drawer to break up the large solid surface will be more visually pleasing. I would consider spitting the drawer in two. When I do paint-grade cabinets I use MDF panels in my...
Not to belabor the point but the overhang may be a factor of how much room is available in the area where the table will be used. If the area can only accommodate a 72" table and needs to sit 6 then...
You might consider using pressured activated catches rather tan pulls. Nice door design ad pulls may detract from the overall all effect. My other reaction is a c-handle that would straddle the...
Larry,
My trestle with draw leaf is 74" with 11" overhang. When extended, the overhang is 25". I'm 6'1" and find that the overhang is sufficient without extending the leaf.

I use a hollow mortiser to make the hole. One trick I use when placing a sequence of pegs is to clamp a thin metal strip to the work surface to act as a alignment tool. I have a tendency to slightly...
Seven or eight years ago I built an overhead collector for my TS from plans I found on the internet from Wood Central. Search "Overhead Blade Guard and Dust Collector". Excellent plans and I...
Returning from a 2-year hiatus from woodworking, I recently had an opportunity for a 30-day free trial of a CAD program from Cabinet Vision. While I make furniture, I am preparing to undertake the...
I have a 2hp Grizzly cyclone for a 900 sq ft shop and it handles everything I throw at it provided you design your run, drops and gates correctly. I Often have 2 blast gates open at the same time...
I will be relocating and replacing my shop in a few months and this information is both timely and exxtremely helpful. Thanks.
Very nice and well-executed. How did you attach the top for movement? What is your finish schedule?
Gel stain.
I also have a 2hp cyclone, 7" main, 6" drop to the TS with a 5" gate at the port. The drop to the blade uard is 3"/3" gate. If your want effective dust collection at the blade, don't use zero...
I love it when you have the freedom and the courage to let the grain tell you where you are going. Well done!
Thanks - the last photo made it verry clear. I've never used their hinges but certainly have filed away the reference.
What design issues did you encounter that made the Soss hinges a viable solution?
Very stylish and well executed. I like the mirrors/cabinets - nice storage solution.
I converted a 3 gallon gas can by brazing a second spout for the outlet. For the heat source I use a round propane burner that is sold for frying turkeys. I think the whole setup probably cost...
Good reference material. I saved the PDF to my library.
Very interesting design and the more I look at it the more I like it. Question: how did you get the first rough cut in the vents and then finish the air vents? I also had a concern about little...
There are many techniques and mechanical fasteners available to secure the top to the apron and allow wood movement. Two sources are Graves, Dining Tables and Charleswoth's Furniture-Making...
I would suggest Lon Schleining's Wood Bending Mnade SImple published by The Tunton Press. The book comes with a companion DVD.
The movement from the white oak frame should be a non-issue unless you are using very wide material. Once you create a 3-cell frame and secure the joints, you have locked everything in place and no...
Did you check the alignment by placing a reliable straightedge against the blade and then measure to the fence/miter track at various points along the top from front to back? If so and the splitter...
