i'd like to hear (read) a review concerning the Hitachi sander. i'm actually looking at picking one of these up real soon. i've read the reviews on amazon...always nice to know what the Creekers have...

Fantastic job! i like the proportions a lot.

here is a guitar i made with paduak, walnut and flamed maple. i think it turned out to be a great combo and the paduak has a great natural feel to it when used as the fretboard. the tops of the...

luthiers use this technique. its great to see another example in pictures though as it can be difficult to get the technique just right.

i'm in the midst of preparing for my wedding which is a week away. (yeah, small gloat :D )

i'm going to try and sneak away and work on some christmas gifts though.

agreed! those are beautiful.

my favorite items to make are guitars. i love building things that will get used in such a large variety of ways.

the next project i'd like to tackle will be a...

definitely a good find! i'm gonna go look for one this weekend.

it wasnt hard. the instruction manual and a couple of the non-structural parts were missing from the box though. i winged it as best i could from looking at the table saw manual. once i had it all...

Here's a pic of mine. i just made the storage cubby this weekend and i still need to add a drawer to it.

very nice. i need to make one with a matching lazy susan for my fiance soon. the purpleheart looks great against the maple.

cant wait to see the finished product.

btw, is that a glass of...

i know i'm gonna have about 14" of grass to cut tomorrow as well. haha. i'm not really looking forward to it but i love being outdoors so it isnt so bad.

i'm in the middle of a drill press work...

very nice job indeed.

i agree about building things for the little ones. for every project i do for me, my soon-to-be step daughter of 5 years old gets two projects. :)

the number in the computer is the number in the computer for that store. if it says $200 at the Tools counter thats what it will ring up as at the Cashier.

i went to three different Lowes in my...

there should be a computer terminal right there in the Tools department. they can look it up by item number and tell you what the price is going to ring up as before you get to check out.

i picked up a 1/8" vermont american blade today.

for the life of me i couldnt get the blade to track properly. if i spun the top wheel on the band saw by hand i could get the blade to spin in the...

simply ingenious.

refrigerated uses? perhaps the sides of a tractor trailer? dunno. just winging ideas out here. :)

looks great! i love seeing exotic woods being used to build furniture, it just adds to the uniqueness.

Update: Biesemeyer is sending the parts out to me. hooray for excellent customer service. :D

Jeffrey, i had a huge bag of screws of different sizes and a bag with the feet for the table legs. i've been hearing good things about their service so hopefully that will work out.

Chuck, i...

i've got an email into biesemeyer now. hopefully they'll let me know what i can do to get the parts.

i had thought about taking it back to lowes but the other two boxes were opened and i bought...

Kind of bittersweet for me here. i picked up a new fence system and the box was unopened and fully sealed. i found that the installation manual, the fence lever knob, and the hairline pointer were...

i was told the other day that Pinnacle is the house brand of Woodcraft. i purchased their precision triangle set and a crown try-square. after testing, the Crown square was not true and i returned...

nice setup. all of those great ideas and you know what attracted my attention the most? the storage rack made of stacked trash cans. yeah, i'm weird like that. :)

i like the color coordinated...

i managed to find some at $200. picked mine up this afternoon.

for anyone in the northern virginia area looking for one of these the Lowes in Chantilly has them for $200 (2 left). dont bother...
