Mike,
The bottom is 1/2" plywood and will be glued in grooves.
(BTW, it is embarrassing to note that I'm still working on finishing the inside of the chest before I assemble it. I was supposed to...
Living here in Southern California I forget that it is possible (and not uncommon) to buy rough lumber. Pretty much all I see S3S so when I see 8/4 I automatically think 1-3/4".
I will think about...
I need to make turned legs for a project (a hope chest for my daughter) that are 6" long with a max diameter of about 2". The chest is "Philippine Mahogany" but my local lumber yard only has up to...
Jamie, you pretty much have it. The front and back as well as the sides lean out and the divider runs from front to back.
I'm making a blanket/hope chest for my daughter in which the sides are flared out 10deg from vertical. I want to include a divider but I'm uncertain on the best way to attach it due to the different...
Dave,
thanks for replying. I don't have a model yet in SketchUp (just a 2D drawing to get a feel for the angle of the sides). I did do some modeling in SolidWorks and I've included a couple of...
I'm getting close to actually starting to cut wood on a blanket/hope chest for my daughter. I've been totally over-thinking the design, but there is one big decision I need to make right from the...
Here are a couple of shots of my first attempt at turning diamonds. These were inspired by an article by Peter Exton in American Woodturner in Feb. 2010. The article walks you through the process so...
Here are some 3-D drawings (i can take some photos at home later)

The compound angle is six degrees in both directions.
I've made an auxiliary table for the drill press so I can...
I need to make a few angled holes for a small table but the edge of the forstner bit hits the material before the center point of the bit. My thought is to use a small bit to line up the work piece...
Thanks for the links, especially yours, Dave :S.
I'm feeling a bit like Goldilocks with Sam's suggestion being too big and Don's too small. I may just have to work on doing the bending myself....
Earlier I posted a question about the joinery of a table I'm looking to make for my daughter...
Thanks for the ideas. I like the simplicity of the brackets, but I'm afraid with the open design of the table (no aprons) they will stick out. I also thought of using two piece legs, but I'm...
I'm planning on making a table for my daughter's record player like the one at this link...

Is the Beall polishing system useful in polishing acrylics to a high gloss? I know Penn State sells a buffer and compound specifically for acrylic, but if the waxes in the Beall system will do the...
Thanks for the replies. Amazon has the plunge/fixed base combo for $160 till Christmas and my wife has allowed me to get myself a Christmas present. So it is time to add a new horse to the stable...
In researching a mid-sized router for my table I've found that I really like what the Bosch 1617ESV has to offer. One thing that has me scratching my head is if the under table router base they sell...
How against code would it be for me to use a short length of hose from the washing machine cold water faucet (There is a Y on it so the washing machine can still get water) to connect to a run of...
Can hoses and fittings meant for compressed air be used for water? My wife is a glass artist and most of her tools require water. Some of them are set up to be used in a basin filled with water and...
Belinda,
Thanks. Mickey does some cabochon type of work (her career as an artist started off with jewelry so she has made some pendants), but she aspires to making larger "wall art" types of...
Just wanted to pop this back up to pass along that on Saturday (8/23) my wife was awarded "Best Glass Artist" at the show by her fellow artists!
I'm really proud of her!
Thanks Mike and Clara.
Most everything is plywood and MDF. The round shelves are 1/2" MDF with 5/8" MDF support arms (primed and painted). They are attached to the wall with metal angle...
You heard right, my work is on display at the Art-a-Fair art show in Laguna Beach, CA this summer (http://www.art-a-fair.com/). I'm also planning on having similar work at a Laguna Beach gallery...
There are special concrete type mixes that are designed for intense heat (my wife is planing on using a product in her glass kiln that gets up to 1500+ deg F).
I don't know what is special about...
