This will be an occasional use...
Interesting.
I failed to mention that we were just thinking of something that would have a window and basically just be a solar kiln. Realizing now that I should have put solar kiln in the...
My father was wondering if it would make sense to build a small kiln to help finish up drying some lumber and speed up the stage between being stacked outside and being ready to work. From 14% down...
Hey everyone, need a little help making sure I'm choosing the right slides for the project I'm working on.
I've been using some nice heavy duty filing cabinets for some tool storage and I'd like...
I remember there being some sort of foam dealer near me in the Philly area. I went there years ago for some projects in high school. Place was really cool, they had blocks of rigid foam the size of...
Thanks. Any recommendation on where to get some? I probably need a 1" or 1 1/2" thickness and only a couple square feet.
This looked like a neat site: here
Are there any places you like to...
Even though its a lap top, she uses a usb mouse...so it would make sense for me to make the desk wide enough to accommodate that. Not sure if that will increase the chance of tipping? Probably not,...
That's pretty much what I had originally envisioned...then I started thinking of something that wouldn't have to rest on the legs. Perhaps that will just be making it more than it needs to be. ...
Hey Craig, thanks for the heads up. I really like your mod for the sheet music, great idea! I'm leaning more towards a flat desk with no storage just because its going to be used much more for...
Hey everyone, I'd going to make a lap desk for my wife and I'm looking for some ideas and possible plans. I did find some plans here but I thinking there's some better things I can add to it.
My...
Thanks Jim! Yeah, I'm very excited! I didn't get any good shots of the cherry and walnut before I stacked it...but I might be moving that pile back on top of the maple to make room for the...
And some more...

Wait until you see this weekend's load. Some of the coolest looking maple I've ever seen (I'll try to get a couple of pictures tonight). We still have A LOT to go too!
No mfg I know of sells anything that size to the public. I know someone near here that built a custom band saw that will handle 50". Yes, a chainsaw mill is the other option. Although, if you're...
Have you tried calling Wood-Mizer yet? If you haven't, call them and ask them for local owners who are for hire. I toyed with the idea of purchasing a smaller more manual Wood-Mizer, like the...

Well, better late than never! Here are some pictures of the milling action from last weekend. Black walnut, black cherry, red oak, white oak, hickory, hard and soft maple were the species for the...
Hey Joe, thanks. Since you're heading out there, could you take some more pictures? Perhaps some up close and detailed shots of the joinery and other spots?
Also, let me know if you have any...
Joe, thanks so much for posting this project and pictures! A couple of months ago I picked up a large load of reclaimed white oak beams from an old dairy barn. I set aside some for a mantle and...
Very nice! Simple, yet interesting. Different wood, so I'll have to factor that in, but the wall color is very similar to what I'll be doing most likely.
Here's the link for anyone looking to...
Hey Matt, sounds good. What type of finish did you go with? Do you have any pictures?
Well put. The vanity is one my wife really wants to have, and it should fit well into the room. We do have a walk in, but its pretty small. There is also an additional small closet in the room. ...
Thank Jim, I had a feeling you'd have some good insight on this one. Its a very good point you make about having consistency. I've never made a 'set' of anything...everything has always been a one...
Hey everyone, I'm looking for some design ideas for a master bedroom set (armoire, night stands, king size bed, and vanity) I was planning on using oak since that's what I have a lot of, and I'd...
