I love beer and will admit to running a ROS after a beer or two, that's as much machinery as I would handle after a beer.

I happened to spot a pile of mixed red and white oak in a garage several days ago. I got ahold of the guy who is a minister and ask him what he was going to do with it. He said, I'd sell it if...

Don, it help when you have built several of the same things. My first one took longer, now I'm "in the groove" so to speak. The legs take the most time, stop dados, and stop rabits are the hardest...

Alex, I used single bottom slides on the drawers and the fronts are false, they are oak fastened to the poplar drawer carcasses, alignment isn't difficult, I have a way that I discovered that makes...

The dresser is solid Red Oak, solid Oak glued sides and top, Oak plywood back and mitre-locked Poplar drawers. The vertical pieces and dresser top are stained with, I believe, Early American and the...

I love pocket screws, but how do you hide them when building drawers? Please show me pictures.

Thanks

I have a Grizzly 1028Z, I use it on my table saw and my 8" jointer. No problems at all, I updated the upper bag to 1 micron. I have to use mine on 110 for now, eventially I will hook it up for 220....

I have a Forrest Woodworker I and I couldn't believe the way it cuts compared to other blades I've used. It's like the perverbial "knife through butter" with red oak.

How do you guy seal cans after using stain, poly, etc. I always seem to get something on the lips of the can and after sealing several times, the can start to leave air in and you get the scummy...
