Me too please. Thank you.
Jim, I am so glad that I finally read the next line. I was really worried about what a pain it would be for you to match that ugly stuff. I think I'll go to bed early and not make any decisions for a...
That is beautiful. I love how as you look at it more and more little details keep coming out.
I've been haunting the antique stores and have had more luck than I thought I would. I found a 12" sweep brace and after some work, it's very usable. I also found a 1 5/8" auger bit that will work...
Be sure to check the refrigerator. I'm sure I didn't put it there, but that's where I found it.
The glove compartment of the car you never drive too.
When someone activates the garage door opener it makes me jump, especially if I'm concentrating on something. Having few power tools is an advantage some times.
Just a quick question based on the picture. Does your wife put the glasses and dishes in the cabinet upside down? You may find your solution by studying that issue. Keep in mind that the orange juice...
I use sandpaper on glass and am satisfied with that method. I do use a guide though. (Veritas Mark I, but I'd love a Mark II. I didn't like my budget Eclipse clone.) As soon as I put the sand paper...
I experimented with this. My only gouge has the bevel on the outside for carving and while I could waste material out of the hole, it couldn't make a smooth side. And, it's slow going of course.

The "Auger bit Guide" set was available for 6 cents in 1897, but doesn't seem to exist 110+ years later. (Actually, they are probably sitting around antique stores, but no one knows what they are.) I...
That's got possibilities. Since this will be an outside bench, I had thought that it would be best if I can keep from putting any holes in the top so that water wouldn't drain into the tenons and...
That was worth a try and I tried a couple of variations, but the uneven surface kept the lead screw from biting in properly and since the bit is asymmetric it wouldn't keep going straight.
You are...
Happy children are much more important than a perfect finish. Looks like you've done well!
I'm making a log bench for a friend from a tree that was cut down on their property earlier this spring. I made up legs with 2" round tenons from some branches and I figured I'd drill 2" holes with...
Can a man feel lust for an axe? I've had one of these on my wish list since they only cost $140.

A long time ago, I had a job loading trucks. They all had small holes here and there along the top which meant was that when the hole was in the right place, and it was dark up near the front of the...
Very neat. What kind of equipment are you using? In general.
BTW, where does Occam come in? I only know his work with smaller tools (razors).
Marine varnish is the way to go, but it can be difficult to get it to go on smoothly. We'd love to see some pictures when you're done.
Looks great and stout like a workbench should be. Too bad about that little crack in the top:D. What's your thinking on that?
You are prepared for the police visit when you start burying coffins in your crawl space aren't you? I hope they can tell the difference between a planer and a wood chipper (Fargo reference).
Short sheeting the bed is a classic, but it hits 'm when they are most tired.
Messing with computers at work is probably my favorite: from inverting the screen with software, to installing a...
I'm just thinking out loud and curious as to others' opinion. It seems to me that the way I use a jointer, I try to transfer as much as possible of my body mass into the momentum of the plane (that...
That is going to be a big increase in comfort for you. After you've forgotten to un-clip for the 2nd time. :D:D It's bound to happen.
A really nice project and one I plan to do myself soon. Your mix of old school joinery and pocket screws is intriguing. I think your choices make a lot of sense in maximizing strength where it...
