Thanks for the kind words, Jay and Glenn!
Thank-you, Peter!

My son and I got out on the water and put it to work...
The next step is to strike a centerline down the SIDE of the paddle blank. On the blade I also strike a line 1/8" on either side of the center line. Those lines are the ones that we will work...
Finished Shot First:
A little over four years ago I decided to try my hand at making canoe paddles. It was a lot of fun, and surprising less difficult than I had anticipated, and I kept on...
I needed a present for a family wedding and I decided that a barbecue (bbq? Which do you prefer?) platter would be a nice option.
They are similar to cutting boards, but I make them...
A new one (for me) that my brother told me about: Minwax oil-modified waterbased polyurethane. That's all. The oil is to (I think) give it a bit of amber that we like to see, but it is still...
Shaker(ish) style nightstand in African Padauk and Maple
Recently completed this for my wife. The top and drawer fronts are African Padauk. The rest of the body is hard maple. Yes, the colour...
Floyd, A later follow up:
It is now on the newsstands. I just saw it in my local Lowes:
I built this back in 2007/8 and it was published at that time in Canadian Home Workshop magazine. (That...
Man, you're old, Dave! :rolleyes:
I'm kind of surprised to realize I've been here since 2005. Huh. Of course life happens to all of us. I've been very active, and then been very inactive,...
Cypress is a wood of the south, and Canoes are a product of the north... I would bet that it hasn't been tried much.
Are you certain that it is wood? I'd think a blow-molded plastic would be cheap/easy for a company to produce.
Gentlemen, thank-you, the kind words are appreciated! :D
Brett -- not having to glue up the top speeds things up.
Cody -- I've never been a snob about pocket holes. I think they have their...
Floyd, please click on my name, and in the drop-down menu click on the "visit homepage" link. I have more details on my website.
Stuff some paper or a rag under the bell and you can mute it.
It's definitely a "keep it in the basement" sort of toy.
I built this several years ago, but just revisited it recently to put together a more detailed web page with many more photos.
Overview: Drop the marbles in at the top, they race down...
I know you're kidding, but just to add to this... I made a test joint with ONE screw and I could hardly budge it. With 1" wide rails, butting up against 2" legs, I used 1-1/2" fine thread screws...
As we geared up for the new school year, my wife and I realized that we really needed another writing desk for one of children to use. Given that the school year had already started, I saw this a...
My apologies, Phil, I missed this post when you submitted it... Given that I based this on a commercial product, I am reluctant to post any sort of a plan.
I will tell you that it is about 43"...
I'm late to this thread, but wanted to pass along an interesting bit of advice that I read on another forum some time ago.
Jim's comment is key. A few other people have also mentioned something...
Can't argue with the first part of that...
But the second sentence has been echoed by a few people on this thread, and I think you're overlooking something.
Sure the house has stayed put for 50...
thanks guys, ha ha, Eduard. :D
Thank-you, gentlemen!
(I was really confused by the felt question... ;))
What felt?
The head/neck support is wrapped in black cowhide, left over from upholstering my love seat 10 years ago.
Where did you get the idea that it was felt?
