Planning on going frameless for a builtin cabinet (four doors, now drawers) with builtin bookshelves on top of it. The cabinets and bookcases aren't an issue - there are lots of online resources for...

I want to build some sort of of activity tracking board for my two boys as the complete chores or books. Anyone have any design ideas?

I have this gigantic food processor, that came with 5 different discs to grate, julienne, chop...and clutter the cabinet while threatening to become razor-sharp bladed frisbees that roll out of the...

Hi folks,

I have the new Oneida Dust Gorilla Portable (2hp). It has a 6" port. So, I use an adapter to permanently connect 5" hose (I know, I should use 6", but 5" is what I've got;)).

I work...

I'll ignore what I hope is an attempt at humor.Frankly, I've read too much about shop "furniture" with dovetailed panties and fancy inlayed chests. Real men take axes and chip down their own timber....

Hi folks,

I'm migrating to plane socks (from the original boxes) as a storage tool. Works well with #4s and #5s. However, there are some others that are less standard in form factor. Could...

Hi folks,

I want to build some drawer trays/organizers. For cutlery in the kitchen. Maybe for my tool chest.

Modern convention starts with 1/4" stock (or thinner) and uses a table saw to cut...

So, last night my significant other wandered up to my workshop, looked at the floor, and "saw tons and tons of dust and curlies."

So, its true. I use hand tools. And I create this thick "curly"...

i am not crazy. i'm going to take the advice of folks here, check out craigslist and see what I can buy used. A few inserts/dividers, and I have a new solution to a plane and saw till! :)

Like most hobbyists, storage of woodworking, household, gardening, and automotive tools in a garage is always a challenge, to put is mildly :eek:

While I would love to dedicate an entire room or...

There are plenty of western resources, but I am interested in Japanese methods to rough cut lumber and then make finish cuts.

Workholding methods and devices are particularly interesting. For...

thanks for sharing...i guess it would have been over 70'+ of dovetails if you'd done the backs...and let's not talk carcasses.

Well done - you deserve the praise.

Hey Gary,

I spent the early morning browsing your wondering images of a job well done.

You make no mention of the drawer backs. Are you using through dovetails?

Tony

Thanks for the help and encouragement.

It may be flat, but it's definitely not polished. All the David C. and Chris S. and a raft of others take the back of a plane iron to 8000 grit. Crazy? ...

From fresh in the blue bag to curly shavings, how long did it take you to flatten the back and sharpen the #8 iron the first time?

Any hints or advice on how to handle the monster?

I've been using a normal spray bottle for years while sharpening on stones. The same one that you'd get with any normal housekeeping chemical.

However, I've seen a different bottle used on...
