That is a really nice table and the style and joinery is classic. Mortise and tenon really can't be beat for strength and beauty. Excellent job, like the final sheen of the finish too.

Knock on black walnut, I haven't had any issues with these yet. There are multiple light temperature bulbs to select from, I use the 5000K. The only thing I think they could have improved on with...

I got the lights from Lowes, about $50 per fixture plus bulbs. I'm south of Rochester and east of Buffalo. Wyoming county, where there are more cows than people.

That's an awesome shop, one to be proud of for sure. Some day I will remodel my old building and make it more attractive inside and out.

I bought all new 4 tube T8 light fixtures to replace the old 2 tube T12 fixtures. I kept the same number of fixtures as I had before so there's actually twice as much light and that is so nice since...

Great idea and great craftsmanship.

Well, I am doing some bunk beds for the grandkidlets for Christmas this year, pretty excited I can do this. Still have the all clear from the cancer doctor. Couldn't be happier.

I was working on this job just prior to and finished just after my cancer diagnosis. It was the last big job I did and will be for a while. I have built many kitchens and it always has been a big...

I can't wait to see the completed piece. This is a really awesome design and the choice of material is impressive.

This project is just plain impressive.

Stew, the sheen of the waterlox toned down nicely on those shelves, how long ago did you finish them? I have found the the waterlox original it reaches final sheen after several months, starts off...

Stew, First I pray you conquer your illness and have good health. I use the Waterlox original as the sealer under the marine finish. It serves multiple duty in my shop, it's a great product.

I would email Waterlox and ask their tech people about your situation, they will advise you. I use Waterlox almost exclusively, it is very predictable once you get the hang of it and when done...

I use Waterlox marine for outdoor furniture. It is a tung oil varnish when applied over Waterlox original sealer or marine sealer provides a flexible finish that starts from the inside of the wood...

Well I have been absent from the website and from projects for a while due to a hopefully successful fight with some cancer. So to make up for lost time I demolished and replaced a small wrap...

That's awesome you are 26 years cancer free, I am shooting for 40 years. Have to set goals you know. Thanks for the compliment, it was fun getting back to work and building something.

The joint is only as strong as the species of wood you are talking about and of course the width of the styles and rails. I have done this without dowels with 2 1/2" hardwood. To dowel this type of...

Really nice job on the table. I'm a big fan of tables with enclosed storage, hides and organizes stuff you don't want to display.

That looks like a very nice addition to the room. Nice work, what did you use for a finish?

Good question, the list mysteriously nevery lacks end but the room is getting smaller. So far have done the bed, 2 dressers, 2 nite stands and the lingere chest. Sounds like a blanket chest is the...

That is a really nice set. My wife has asked me to do a set for our grandsons and you just inspired me to do so. Nice work!!

Awesome crib man!!! I built a crib for my first grandson four years ago out of hard maple, but not curly. Looks like a real nice finish on it. I for one can appreciate all the work you put into that.

That's a sweet table and a clever idea for storage. I really enjoy doing panel work like that, it looks well proportioned.
