Next time you talk to your son thank him for me for his service and being one of the .45%.

David, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I recently decided to finally get around to building a shadowbox for myself. I originally did a similar box about 10 years ago for myself, but a friend's wife wanted one for his retirement. Since...

I like the minimal amount of wood on the front face. It is like a fine border around the flag.

Nice work! Now I know what do with some of my shop scraps.

I did the bevel because I am not a fan of round over profile. I used a low angle jack plane because I always seem to get burn marks when I use a router on end grain.

I used a oil based stain...

Here is the pub height table I recently completed for our rec room. It is made from 1 1/4" quarter sawn white oak with mortise/tenon joinery secured with dowels. The wide base along with the mass...

The Wilburt light tower in the hose bed as well as the rocker lugs on the hard auctions are a nice touch (among all the other great details).

After 12 years, I got around to making a display case for a flag I got a few clicks south of Baghdad. The flag is approx. 35" x 52".

I made a stretcher out of scrap plywood and then attached 1/4"...

The title of the show is Nock On. It is an archery hunting show and the logo is a melding of an arrow nock and the rock on gesture. I left that info out initially because I didn't want people to...

A friend and co-worker is on the pro staff for a hunting show on cable TV so I made him a wooden version of the show logo. It is made from black acacia and redwood burl.

Beautiful work on the dovetails. It's too bad the tails aren't cut into the sides of the case so they can be enjoyed by anyone admiring the case.

My first built-in project. I made the initial center section 1/4" too wide so I got an additional book case out of the deal.

Awesome work. The recipient is a lucky individual.

....I couldn't even make an educated guess at this point. I should figure that out though.....

I peruse the classifieds and garage sales because I am always on the look out for woodworking items and tools. Clamps are one of the things I never pass up if the price is right. This has resulted in...

I have used water-based urethane on the inner surfaces of the exterior wood and then just dry-fitted the Spanish cedar on the interior without glue. But I am no expert.

I just looked up "elegant" in Webster's and they had a photo of your work.....truly beautiful!

Stanley didn't apply japanning to the aluminum body planes that I am aware of. The ones I have owned all had the raw aluminum finish.

I blow the dust off and apply a light coat of Camilla oil before they go back in the tool box. I have a shop made applicator made out of PVC pipe and a rolled up t-shirt to apply the Camilla oil.

I use 3M diamond plates that I purchased from JWW. Not a single complaint and the finest one is .06 micron which leaves a good working edge.

I used 3/4" plywood for the side and 1/2" for the backs. It took (16) sheets of 3/4" plywood and (10) sheets of 1/2". The closet is 9' tall so if your ceilings are lower, you maybe able to get by...

Doug,

IIRC correctly the depth is 13" from the face frame to the backwall of the box. The lower ones on the back wall are 86" high for double hanging and the ones above are approx. 21" tall. The...

Below are a couple of photos of the master closest I recently completed. I used pre-finished maple plywood for the carcass and made face frames out of stained birch. The closet is 10' x 12' and the...

When I was making shadow boxes for guys retiring, the outside dimensions were 18"wide x 24"tall. That size box held the flag and then had room for medals/ribbins badges. The depth was determined by...
