I am loving that ceiling and arches. So many houses now are just sheet-rock ceilings and hardware store doors, that things like you built here really catch the eye and stand a cut above everything...

I did something similar on a mantelpiece, and it separated after a year or so. You'd be better off doing the dado. More work, but well worth it in terms of final product in my opinion.

Thats quite the feat. a different breed of Cholla grows where i live, (its all small, most of it is about an inch or 2 in diameter tops) but someone around here has been finding larger pieces and...

its obviously a petrified chicken. i say put some finish on it, and sell it as art.

literally a 30 minute project, but has a small story. Recently, I noticed a hook set into the wall on the outside of my apartment. Immediately, i wanted something to hang on it, but didn't have...

I love it! you're going to need to scale that up and make a dining room table!

Well, after 2 months of hemming and hawing, we finally built the thing. My mom had promised my sister we would build a bench for her birthday, (which was at the end of april) but one delay lead to...

actually, you can drill through the sill plate with a hammer drill just fine. saves your wood bits from eating concrete as well. everything else he said is spot on, expansion bolts, the kind with the...

I have yet to harm myself with my speed square, but I imagine its only a matter of time.
My personal best work related injury was when I broke my nose with a crowbar. while standing on the top of a...

well, I can't attest to Glenn's techniques, but i know the way I would achieve the slanted drawer bottoms. I would be to simply make the dado for the drawer bottom at an angle using a jig on either...

The mesquite we used was pretty solid in terms of flat and straight, the main trouble we ran into turned out to be the fact that mesquite is so hard, that the nails won't set well sometimes (we...

thats a beautiful floor. Reminds me of a floor I helped install, Mesquite, random widths and lengths (thats what they called it, was really random lengths, 3 different widths) the dark color is just...

My first response was 'are you *sure* thats the same dresser?'
very beautiful refinish, gave that piece a new lease on life.

Beautiful little box! those tiny hardware store hinges will give you fits though, won't they? thats what i used on the last little box i made, and i've resolved to invent a way to build wood hinges...

Thanks John. you have no idea how hard it was to get decent pictures of this thing, to get the whole thing in the frame, you have to either be so far away that it looks tiny, or end up with a weird...

So, years ago, a friend of mine and I where discussing home defense. it was late, and things got silly, and we finally decided that the best non-firearm home defense weapon would be a huge hammer. i...

thats an amazing mirror. it seems like its defying gravity a bit. my first thought was "how is it not falling over front wards?"

again, incredible design.

i know this might look like an ad for the product, but i swear, its not. you might look into getting something like these people make:...

I'm not the most familiar with types of woods, but because of how it looks, and your testament that it is heavy, i have to say that it 'almost' looks like mesquite. but i doubt it, because mesquite...

that's a nice looking coaster! almost to nice to put a drink on. ¬.¬
about a year ago, i was involved with installing a bamboo countertop, its a fantastic material. the drop from cutting the sink...

that is one incredible countertop!

sounds like it was a ton of work though.
i think if i was doing the same sort of project, i'd end up drilling through the blocks, and thread them all onto 1...

Yea, Trex will hold up for a while, but for the spans and thicknesses you need, its not strong enough, *especially* in the summer. for that thin a piece, anything over a few feet will bend a *lot* in...

Very nice, Took me a minute to realize that the planer is attached to it and the whole top rotates.

how do you like that planer? I used either that exact one, or a model very similar to it quite a...

Got a Lee Deluxe reloading Kit with several dies.


Thank you all for your input, I think the answer will be to create a plywood top for it, or buy/make a lam of some kind. what it is now is 3...

Ok, I think this is my Inaugural Post here on the Creek, so Hi everyone. What I need help with is this: We Got my dad a Reloading Press for christmas, with the promise to build a workbench to mount...
