    My dad came across this hand-cranked grinder from a relative's place as they were cleaning it out. Very cool looking with open gear set up.

    Here is a shot showing what the end grain of the board I was using looked like.
    Then I have a picture showing how I cut the blanks off the 2x10.

    Finding fir for "Pattens of Light"

    I (and my son) have been intrigued by the recent back cover of FWW with what Lael Gordon did.

    Now the article said he started with quarter sawn material - but looking at the photographs and even...

    How to (cheaply) label a project?

    I am currently working on making some display boards for our county fair. Pretty cheap/simple with construction lumber frames and BildRite panels. Everything will get painted, although I'm not sure...

    I have myself done short plug cords and outlets. But now that I think of it - how often have I moved any of those fixtures since I hung them? I would say in 10 years - never. So it might not be...

    I had thought of using the pipe-flange type of thing, but this isn't *that* heavy of equipment, and it isn't that wide of a shelf. Standard hinges (maybe heavy duty ones) should be able to hold the...
  17. Entertainment center and shelves for equipment

    So this Christmas the family got a new TV and now my old TV stand won't do any longer. So the "tragedy" is that I have to spend more time in the shop to make a new setup. :D

    Anyway - as I am...

    Go for the BB ply - it is a lot lighter to take on and off the table than MDF. You are more likely to grab it then rather than the lighter weight but not as accurate or safe miter gage.

    4 x 6 - that is pretty good sized.

    Even so, using 2" high ribs should give you plenty of resistance to sag. I just think that you would need 3 ribs one way and 4 or 5 the other. That way you...
