Thanks. I saw those. I figured if I was going to go to the trouble of rebuilding cabinet doors and boxes, might as well use an "all-in-one" system, but might be worth a look.

So our house was built in the late 70s. We have a large kitchen which works well for us. Problem is that the cabinets are awful. Dark particleboard with 1/2" face frames. We definitely don't have...

Thanks all for the kind words. My initial thought was to use a bunch of cut offs of various species that I had around the garage and make almost a mosaic tree (with the cut offs being various...

Funny, I told my wife that when she eventually outgrows it (and wants to paint her room black) we can put it in the master bedroom so we can play Tarzan and Jane aga...I mean so we can preserve it ;)

Very cool! I didn't see that, but when I was researching options initially, I was thinking of something similar. Perhaps that might be a phase 2 project (don't tell my wife :))

Thanks everyone. I definitely had a good time building it. I hope she'll get many years of enjoyment from it.

Good idea :)

So my wife is expecting our first child (a little girl - just a couple weeks to go!) and I wanted to do something really nice to decorate her room. We love nature and wanted to incorporate it into...

Well, it has been a LOOONG road, but we finally have both of our bathrooms complete! Picture time for the new vanity! Thanks for all of the advice. I ended up just cutting a slot on each end and...

Thanks Kim. Yes, photos would be great! I am always looking for different ways to do things and would be interested in seeing how you tackled it.

Yes, that was my first concern too (double thick walls in an area (drawers) that are already pretty narrow). However, I suppose I could use thinner material on the two "inside" sides of the door...

Thanks everyone. I think I'm leaning towards building three sections. With the design, it should be relatively simple to do since it should be easy to break it up into three sections. I may play...

So my wife and I are remodeling our guest and master bath...took things down to the studs and moved some plumbing around (hired that out) and are in the process of putting things back together. The...

Great, thanks everyone! Sounds like I have a few places to check out!

Ive been to the woodcraft already but didn't know there was a rockler here. Oh man, watch out paycheck :)

Hi everyone,
My wife and I just moved up to Portland, OR from Austin, TX. I've been trying to look for a good local source for wood for when I get my shop back up. Had a real nice place that I went...

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the idea, but I'd like for the mirror to be able to adjust as well and I'm afraid a star washer would tear up the wood if someone were to adjust the angle.

I've been searching for a piece of hardware that can accomplish holding a cheval mirror that I made a few years ago. When I made it, I guess I must have mounted the swivel up too high so it is a bit...

Thanks Jon -that worked perfectly!

Thanks Ken - sorry, didn't see that forum.

Jon,
Ack! Great! Thanks - I even have some of those :) I totally didn't think of that easy solution.

For those interested, here are a couple links to some videos of the prop for Halloween: ...

Thanks Mike...I think that might work, but it might be a bit too large. To expand on what my project is (I didn't before because it is actually not woodworking related, but I knew that the potential...

Ok, so I don't know what these things I'm looking for are called, but maybe someone has an idea what I'm looking for.

I have a project where I'm going to have a hollow sphere (in two halves) that...

Hi All,
I have been working to refinish the base of an old table that was stained fairy dark (have no idea what the wood is or what stain was used as it was my wife's parents' table). I had to make...

Thanks everyone. I'm still working on perfecting my finish work. I noticed a few runs in my clear coat that didn't make me happy, but it is difficult when space is limited in the garage. I seem to...

Finally able to get my wife's mirror done. I saw something similar for sale online and figured I'd see if I could reproduce it by eye. I think it turned out really well.

It is made out of Alder...
