Thanks, Phillip. Clarify "wet". Are we talking spray bottle
wet? Garden hose wet? Or soak overnight wet?

It's been ages since I have been to the creek. I honestly cannot remember the last time I posted here. Unfortunately it's been a bumpy year or so and life has forced itself between me and...
Morning, Karl!
We have been away all week. So it'll be nice to settle in, get a few things done around the house,watch my Red Sox, Pats, and plenty of College Football! Boston College plays...
Morning Karl,
The camper will sit in the driveway for another weekend, meaning I will be doing a multitude of things around the Shelby Ranch that I should be doing when I am otherwise camping.
...
Oh, My.
Considering that my woodworking list from last year was about 10 items long and the 1st item is still unfinished and sitting in the shop, I'd best be modest with my plans for the...
Morning Karl!
Bad news is no shop time this weekend. Wife said she doesn't care if I work on her diningroom buffet/hutch/thingie as long as it's done by Thanksgiving. I really want to finish it,...
Morning, Karl!
Morning, Everybody!
Well, it's finally Lawn Care Season here in New England! So I suspect part of the weekend will be dedicated to thatching the "lower 40", as we call the lower...
Morning, Karl!
Looks like it's gonna rain this weekend. But that probably won't stop me from moving the camper from the side of the house to the driveway. Next weekend will be our "shake down"...
Very Nice, Barry!
I did something similar last year in my garage/shop. But attached it to the wall and hinged it to fold up on the rare occasion when we actually want to park a car in there.
...
Morning, Karl!
Things are starting to thaw in New England... finally! I managed to avoid the need to take Christmas lights down in April by not putting them up in December! I have been in Karl's...
Brad, I am so jealous that I can hardly stand it! I saw the words "going camping" and almost broke into tears. Our camper is still under cover for a few more weeks:mad:
Morning Karl!
I'm happy to say that the bracket ogee feet for DW's diningroom hutch/buffet/thingie turned out famously. Have then all cut, sanded and glued up. You could say that the project is...
Very thoughtful insight, Amy!
I am not sure how great it would be from either a relationship point of view or from the woodworking side of it. My woodworking is my escape. Escape from everything,...
Hmmm...
Never even thought about using Titebond for laminating. Why not? Darned good glue, after all!
I think I saw Norm use Gorilla Glue a couple years ago and decided it was the way to go....
I would also have to consider myself very lucky to have married the perfect woodworker's wife.
She buys me (or really lets me buy) needed tools and I build her cool custom furniture. It makes her...
Thanks to everyone who offered their help! As soon as I saw Pete, Ken and Doc mention an auxilary fence, I kinda slapped myself upside a the head and thought "of course! Why didn't I think of that?" ...
Last we tryped, I was asking for suggestion on how to make ogee bracket feet for DW's new dining room buffet/hutch/whateveryawannacallit. I took many of your suggestions to heart and decided that I...
Made some progress on DW's dining room buffet. Got the frames and center section dadoed and individually glued and then glued together. I need to cut more dadoes on the side panels and do more...
Yep, that did the trick!
I just cranked on the knob til I thought it might fall off, the wheel dropped about two inches, I slid the blade on, adjusted the tension and all the other settings... and...
Morning Karl... DW and I both dealt with the cold/flu thing. Not a picnic. Hope you get feeling better!
I really want to spend some time in the shop working on the dining room buffet/hutch for...
Have you ever had an issue where the longer you look at the problem, the more convinced you are that you're looking right at the solution and don't realize it? That's what I am going through at the...
I am in the process of building a new diningroom buffet and china hutch for DW's already lovely diningroom.
I want the feet to have a molded outer profile, giving them an almost clawfoot like...
Happily, much of my weekend revolved around woodworking.
I spent a couple hours each day completing a tool storage cabinet. My shop is in deep need of storage for smaller tools and gadgets like...
Thanks to all for your imput. Jim, I am with you 100% and I agree with Dave as well. You'll note that the title of this thread is the almost paperless shop. I can't imagine going totally paperless...
I'm not sure what got into me, but I got a wild hair today about having a paperless shop. I got thinking how cool it would be if I didn't have pages of printed out plans or notes and my own...
