I thought others might find this article interesting.
With the time and effort we put into our woodworking projects, I’d guess that we all hope that these items will last for several generations...
Its that time of year again -
No, not the Preakness Stakes horse race,
No, not Monaco Formula 1 race,
No, not another Congressional race,
We're talking woodworking power tools.
Yes, the New...
Interesting article in the New York Times about amateur boat building;

Maybe you built a new workbench and don't know what to do with the old one.
Maybe you just don't seem to have time to get into the shop any more.
Maybe you just want to prove to your sweetheart...
Chased possums and raccoons out of my garage/shop with my leaf blower.
That is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

JK original, 2004.
This is truly sad news. Another woodworking icon gone.
Of course JK was much more than a woodworker. He was a great artist, writer, and philosopher that has forever changed the discipline of...
Wow Mark! Fantastic piece - great layout, selection of wood, and craftsmanship.
Wow Raney, that is a sweet bench. I have to agree, it sure beats some of those pretty-boy benches (mine in particular). Not that yours ain’t perdy. Yours is pure function but great looking too. ...
Funny article that i can relate to.
Confessions of an Amateur Woodworker

I hate to admit it, but my woodworking aspirations out-run my actual...
Wally, Thanks for all your AAW picture posts. They are all fantastic and very inspiring pieces, yours included. To see the gallery live would be an intensely humbling experience for us of lesser...
Hi Steve,
Are you referring to problems with gluing, cupping, planing, finishing, or all the above? ;-)
How do you flatten the soles of your planes when using an ipe sole? I could not plane...
It seems Wilbur has not posted to his workbench thread in a while. At the time I started this thread he was mortising the 5x5 legs of his workbench in this thread;...
Bill, I agree with Glenn. Those bowling alley wood benches (and tables) look great, and I'm sure they work as good as they look. I remember some posts of a bowling alley wood bench, but cannot find...
Cliff,
Some excellent authors there. Other good authors in that same category that I would recommend; Alastair Reynolds, Steven Baxter, Vernor Vinge, Ian Stewart, and a particular favorite - Neal...
Looks gloat worthy to me. Particularly since it has already been delivered right to your door. Half the battle of buying an Emmert is getting it boxed and shipped, which adds at least $100 to the...
Eric.
That is a fantastic bench. Adding the springs to reduce the lift load is a great idea. I was about ready to give up on my Adjust-A-Bench because of the weight of the top.
Where did...
Looks like your holdfasts are already hanging off one leg of your bench. Nice bench BTW. Nice setup.
Another WOW. Very impressive. Great job on the joinery. Thanks for sharing.
That would definitely make it unique. In fact, by adding about 6 large dowels around the perimeter of the seat, it could be used / turned like a ships wheel. Maybe next time. Thanks!
Hi Jim,
I think it would be useful, particularly since I bought a whole box of random sized irons and chip breakers at an old tool swap meet a few years ago. A couple came in handy for...
Thanks for the complements on my bench top and lessons learned post. It may look nice in those shots, but the underside is hideous. Ipe is tuff to cut for anything less than carbide. Chopping out...
