    Updated pics. I've been trying to upload some pics, find it challenging sometimes. Progress has been slow, the weather is still not cooperating. I am pushing the contractor to get moving.

    The difficult thing about relocating, particularly in NC, is that almost all new homes in subdivisions have HOA's. Not to start a battle of the good vs. bad of HOA living, but if you don't fit into...

    Woodmaster Dust Collector

    I'm in the process of building a new shop, we moved again, and I stumbled upon this dust collector. I know the filter bag is not going to stop the fine stuff, and it's not a cyclone, but at 71 and a...

    Store it outside, under a roof of some type. Use a tarp to protect it. Most wood dealers don't store their wood in conditioned space.

    I like the idea of flaring the ends out slightly, it will give you a little more "meat" so it won't look so delicate.

    First, that style volute is no longer available as a standard item. The fact that the cap flows into the rail section has to be hand carved. It's a shame that the builder bolted the volute to the...

    I have to agree with Grant, what type of joinery are you using? It would appear to be none. You may need to rethink you construction methods to avoid situations like this in the future. Plenty of...

    I would also go with birch or beech, they were popular woods used in balustrades that was easy to stain to make look like other woods. They also held details well and turned and sanded well.

    You need a piece of landing tread. Cut the rug back and glue down a piece. If you need to lower it a bid you can reduce the thickness of the tread section to 3/8".

    After the first boat, he mentioned that he was looking for a new shop. He built the second one in the same shop, so maybe he finally found one and is moving. Just a guess.

    Why would you think you would want to leave a gap? If you are thinking expansion and contraction, your treads shouldn't move in that direction. The only danger of making a tight fit is if you make...
