Thanks, Lee!

Lee, the drawers will be inset in the apron, with the grain of the apron parallel to the grain of drawer fronts.

In my continuing planning for a coffee table build, I got to thinking about the drawers for the table and a question has come up.

I'm building the table for a family member who loves figured...

Dave, I sent you a PM back...

I've been going back and forth with this in my head for a little while now and figured I'd throw it out there and get some opinions on it:

I am about to start building a coffee table for a...

Glenn, I PM'd you with a couple specific questions since you have the same saw...thanks.

Thank you all very much for all of the very useful information.

Thanks all, you were most helpful. And, I'll check out the FWW article, too!

Happy New Year All,


I am looking for some help selecting bandsaw blades.


I just ordered my first bandsaw, the Grizzly 0513anv, while it was on sale with free shipping. The saw takes a 131...

Thanks all for the advice and recommendations.

Safe bet there on the A/C!! Thanks for the input, David. Sounds good to me...

Thanks, well I guess at least I'm building it at the right time of year to send it south!

Thanks Lee, I was def planning on doing just that. So once it's built and finished equally all surfaces, it shouldn't be an issue?

Happen to reccommend a certain moisture meter?

Sorry...kiln dried lumber. I'm in Maryland, and the table's destination is Savannah, GA.

I do not have a meter, but may buy one. Reccomendations?

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand here. I'm getting ready to build a coffe table out of walnut and curly maple for a family member. I'll be buying the lumber skip planed on a face and jointed on...

Thanks guys...guess I'm off to get some cheap wood for some trial runs, and track down a rugby club!!

I've seen some beautiful work on the forum that included sculpted joints. I'm planning a very simple walnut bench for my kitchen that I'm in the process of remodeling, and was thinking that I might...

Jim- thanks again for the added info...I'm going to try to pre-finish what I can on the project, and then finish the outside once it's glued up. Thanks!

Several years ago my dad put in a full kitchen of cherry cabinets constructed of cherry ply and solid face frames. The doors, I believe (obviously solid frames), have a 1/4" two sided cherry ply...

Dave, Sam, Glen:

Thanks for the fast information for a very inexperienced newbie :)

The grain runs the same way so I won't have to worry about it, thankfully.

Unfortunately I've drilled for...

Well, I should've thought this out about more...newbie mistake. Here it goes anyhow...I'm building a lightweight cherry cabinet to either hang on the wall via French cleat, or just rest on a counter...

Jim-

Thanks a lot...much appreciated. I'm leaning towards a simple coat of shellac and then wax.

I'm hoping that with a little practice, and very very thin coats, I'll be OK. I'll definitely...

Haha, John...well I'm certainly not going to banish you to the depths of Woodworking Hell...I'm at the very beginning of the learning curve!

I appreciate the info. I've never used the Bowling...

John/Steve:

The cabinet is just a small cherry wall cabinet that I'm making for a friend. It might house some vases, a picture or two, a few small collectibles, etc., bug no food, clothes, etc..
