Here are some shots of the construction for those of you who may be interested. It took many different setups and some that haven't even been done before.

I like antiques, natural wear and tear and the old finishes. But I can't stand that Shabby Chic white stuff that is so popular nowadays.
Assuming that said island has usable trees, water and a food source: I would keep it old school with a draw knife, axe, adz, and a chisel. I can make a mallet, square and most anything else with...
Here's my latest project that I completed after my last mixed media "Indian Themed Vase" that can be found on this woodworking forum. It's a 1/4 scale of the iconic Vince Lombardi Award, better...
Never used one in a Dremel type tool. Most lightweight die grinders like a dremels are not engineered for extended side loading of the ball bearings like a RotoZip, but you probably already knew...
Very cool toy James. And the tool looks good too. I believe that mine had a more pointed tip to get in tight corners a bit better, but still had that "wrap around" shape. If I remember correctly,...
Thanks for the compliments on my goblet. I don't believe that I have that tool anymore, that was 18 years ago and the tip was ground out of an old flat-blade screwdriver. I'll have to look a little...
I like it. You could have made the lid removable and not lost anything on the looks, but as a closed form it is really nice too. I like the use of contrasting woods and veneers to delineate the...
Enco has most everything for a reasonable amount
It looks like you have a good plan to get all of your equipment covered. Maybe I missed something, but did you run a ground line throughout you system? I haven't built one for many years now and...
I bought a HF horz band saw for most heavy duty metal cutting and it works great. I converted it to hydraulic feed and modified the clamp so it stays in one place instead of swiveling around.
I...
Those are great carts for the money. Reminds me of the one I built many years ago. I put a drawer on it for expendables and I left the bottom open for a plasma. I nearly spent a $100 for...
I got a stack on top of a 48" steel cabinet next to my work bench. Thrift store stereo receiver for my radio ($20), dish sat box, old 12" CRT/TV for football and racing. I don't mess with computers...
I moved my woodworking shop equipment 15 years ago, about 2 miles across town. I had the house movers stick the heavy stuff (tablesaw, bandsaw, planer, jointer, etc., including m,y 60" wooden...
I had Metal Shop, Wood Shop and Craft Shop throughout Jr. High in the 60's. All of our shops sound a lot like what you described as far as green paint, equipment, tool room, benches, lockers and so...
Incredible detail work. I love it!
Do a System Restore to and Earlier Date and pick a date when all was well. I've had to do this a couple of times. Very annoying and you'll lose whatever happened between those dates unless you get...
Yep, it happened to me when I changed a kitchen faucet cartridge (4th time now).
Moen's are guaranteed for life, and you'll spend the rest of your life repairing them - for free - if you call...
I've drilled concrete slabs before,and I would do it another way if at all possible for a 1" hole X 6-8" deep. Even to the point renting a core drill or hiring someone to do it would be beneficial.
I plumbed my compressor in a shed outside and left several air & electrical drops outside. Just insdie the main garage door, I left a couple more and also a rewinder for hose and electrical. I also...
I had a similar problem on another site where a spammer was using my posts, projects and pics as his own just to have something to post and advertise his business. The moderator banned him.
At a...
I made a captive ring Wedding Goblet for a friend and turned the rings in place w/o breaking them. To make them intertwined, you would have to break them. I made this one out of Japanese Yew. The...
A 10 lb. rough log spinning at 500 rpm when it loses its mounts - takes a long time to stop...
It depends on type of wood (soft or hard), method (power or hand) and grit. Another thing to remember is to not overheat the wood or burn it. It's really hard to get burns out, and overheating can...
