Sorry for my delay in posting the pictures. Below are some pictures of the vanity that I built. You can see that it is open inside other than the supports added for the center drawers which is shown...

Hi Jared,

I faced the same problem 3 years ago in my bathroom remodel. I had 69.5" to fill between 2 walls vand came up with a design like yours. I did mine without a back and in one piece. ...

I have the MHG set and they were ok to start with but I have slowly been buying the LN chisels, 3 so far (1/4, 1/2, & 3/4). The LNs are definitely a much better chisel to work with and the handles...

Can you explain what you mean by "knife edge" separation? Not sure I know understand well enough what you mean.

THanks,

Thank, I will give your suggestion a try on some scrap pieces.

I am just ready to finish an Oak bed frame that I made that I inlaid a moon made from Holly. I plan to use Danish Oil to finish it and want to protect the moon from being darkened by the Danish Oil....

Thanks guys for your advise on the wood to use. Looks like it will be Poplar.

What kind of wood would be the most cost effective to build a full size bed frame that is painted white?

I plan on using Jeff Miller's 1999 book on beds for my design.

Thanks in advance,

Kim

Thanks for everyones comments. I have done as John and Casey suggested and rubbed the satin finish with some fine pads to dull it up a little more. It is easier to make a new door than it is to...

Interesting, I never thought of it this way.

I am replacing the center panel of a frame and panel kitchen door. The old panel is dull and looks like there is no finish on it. I am using an oil based stain on the panel. I was thinking of using a...

That article is by Jeff Miller who runs a furniture woodshop in Chicago. I took a class from him on doing dovetails by hand and using the tablesaw/bandsaw method. It does work nice. We spent the...

Thanks to everyone that responded to my questions. I ended up staining and putting finish on the panels, assembled them into the doors, and routed the outside edges. Just finished final sanding and...

Thanks for the advise on this.

These are small drawer fronts made like doors about 22" wide by 19" tall with a center mullion. Each door has 2 Oak panels that measure 7 3/4" wide by 13 3/8"...

I am building a vanity to finish up my bathroom remodel project. Have some questions on staining and finishing the raised panel doors. Somewhere I was told to stain and finish the inside panels...

This is a thick heavy material like tar that extends outside of the edges of the frog on the sides of the plane. I had to tap on the frog to remove it. It looks like it was used to hold the frog in...

I have taken apart an old Stanley 5C plane that I got from my grandfather and under the frog there is a black tar like material. I didn't find anything in the other Stanley 5 1/2 C plane that I took...

Dave, I agree, we all have our opinions. It is up to me to decide how I want to work. Having worked for 30 years in Quality Assurance I have worked mostly in inches, and when measurements were...

I suppose that the tolerance issue may be the reason but that doesn't mean that I have to like it. Reminds me of working for a pressure washer company that used a 20% tolerance.

I can return the...

Everyone,
Thanks for the input. I am going to give this some more thought before I decide, but being told that the chisels are inch when they are neither is the part that upsets me the most.
...

Is there any problem or issue with having chisels that are sized in mm instead of inches?

I bought a Woodriver set on sale at Woodcraft that is marked in inches and specifically asked if it was...
