This is my son's walnut and ebony dresser. I just brought it home a couple of hours ago. I didn't even have a chance to smooth out the final coat since mama-to-be wanted it home today, and we'll be...
I am building a dresser, and I want to put ebony pulls on the drawers. I know how to make the actual handles, but how can I securely attach them to the drawers? If you know of a website with a...

Where in east TN? I know some fellas.
That depends. Are you the buyer or seller? :D
I really appreciate every one's replies. While I was in Home Depot today, I picked up a 1/4" metal rod. I think it works really well. I didn't want the joint to be exposed, but I think the metal...

I'm trying to figure out what type of Stanley #3 this is. I'm thinking it's a type 17, but I'm not sure. My camera battery died after I got only two quick pictures, but I can take more later if it...

When can I pick it up? :rolleyes:
Count me in!
No one has told me the final amount at the auction, but someone told me they last saw it going for $450 so it at least went for that. :D
:eek:
I would be using the 3 1/4hp Freud router in it. I mean I WILL be...:D
Hmmm, where to start on the many reasons why I should be the beta tester?:D
I've been woodworking for the past 5 years. It started as a hobby that I learned from my stepfather and has kept...
Has anyone seen this? I got the pic in an e-mail and want to find the source so I can possibly get some rough dimensions. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
Let's see if I can answer some questions...
