I made...

Awesome Sascha! Love the style! Can you tell me how you joined the carcasse up? I'm working on a contemporary sideboard right now. I thought about going solid wood but opted for a ply carcasse for...

Thanks Dave, will do. Just trying to come up with a good idea about the spacing. Since the Domis are a bit thin I thought I'd try them spaced ~3" apart. We'll see...

.....Anybody?

Do you guys think that using Dominoes for breadboard construction would be sufficient? I was thinking of using the larger mortises for the outside tenons. I'm guessing I would glue the tight fitted...

Ditto! ;)

Hey all, I was thinking about designing a bathroom vanity. What is the best finish to protect it from the ravages of steam and water? The carcasse will most likely be some sort of ply with framing...

Try this one... http://nhwoodworker.com/domino/index.html:)

Just wanted to thank everyone for the insight and kind comments. It really means alot to me, coming from so many talented artisans. It seems every finished project motivates so many more. Haha, last...

I agree as well. I've been talking to some metal artists about using some patinas. Really cool look. I guess I should just start experimenting. Thanks for your comments! :)

Thanks Mark! Coming from you it certainly means alot! I would love to use stainless to be honest. Only problem is that as in WW I am a self taught welder and I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps I should...

Ha! I tried to get LOML excited about it, and she just kept remarking how this table would be the end of our 3 year old son.

Thanks Pete! The stretchers run lengthwise (Can't see in picture), and are screwed into steel crossbars. Threading that steel rod was a PITA! I drilled slots crossgrain into the stretchers. I then...

Wow! I love that! Very inspiring. :)

The thread about contemporary furniture inspired me, the noob, to start designing furniture that appeals to me, even if it's not necessarily 'traditional'. Since I have only been doing this for a...

How is this possible? For all sides at 90 they would necessarily be perpendicular as well. This would require opposite sides to be parallel. I know it's been a long time since geometry but...

I know the normal protocol for milling rough stock is to joint an edge then an adjacent face using the first edge as reference against the fence. Normally the next step is to plane the other face so...

Cool, I went to the Daly's site and found some good info there. I guess I'll have to try this Daly's stuff. Mark Singer also advocates it. Good enough for me! One question though. Probably a silly...

Thanks John for the very detailed outline. This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Is the Daly's Crystalfin considered 'varnish' in woodworking parlance? Thanks!

Okay, then what is its primary use. Read : what am I really using it for? Is it basically a precoat for a shellac topcoat? If I'm not planning on using shellac as a topcoat is it really the best...

While reading through Jewitt's finishing book, he talks about using a sanding sealer to raise the grain for fine sanding and grainfilling etc. This makes sense, but... I decided I'd try using...

This is what I ordered.

This sounds very promising! Where do you take your steel to have this done. Thanks!

Yea, don't have my welder set up to do stainless right now plus stainless = $$$$!

Hey all, in my former incarnation before I became an 'expert' woodworker ;), I used to make a bit of metal furniture. Well now that I've gained some experience with wood, I'd like to blend the two...
