These days in classes, we put battens (usually oak) on the outside edges of the lids. I pull these from the scrap bin, but I try for about 1" thick x 1-1/2" wide. Drill countersunk clearance holes in...

Ha. I might know someone...but I'm limited by the # of benches! There is one slot remaining in my class in Berea, I believe: https://pinecroftwoodschool.com/dutch-tool-chest/
Just FYI that in the Dutch tool chest classes that I teach, you learn how to plane, saw to a line, cut dovetails, cut dados by hand, some non-dovetails-related chisel techniques and more :-) Which is...
I don't know the etymology, but I've always remembered which is which by this: Stiles are like hemlines – they go up and down (styles/stiles). Silly, but it works!
I've used them all, and they all work – as does homemade hardware. The one thing to consider is that on the TFWW kit, you have slightly less usable length on the screws – EVEN IF you choose a...

If anyone is in the Cincinnati area (or wants to drive in), Roy will be at the Lost Art Press open house this Saturday (April 13, 10-11:30 and 1-5) hanging out and talking – and showing...

"The Shepherd's Life," by James Rebanks
Aw shucks – thanks for asking :-)
As others have noted, I've started what can only (at this point) be called a micro-publishing company (Rude Mechanicals Press), through which right now I offer a...
It looks great!
Jim, this is entirely crowd-sourced. All listed yards were sent in by readers (and we're adding more as they come in – feel free to send your favorites if they're not represented. There's info in the...
We're happy to add them. Just send a note to brendan.gaffney@fwmedia.com, along with a short testimonial of why you think it's a good yard (note: we're talking actual lumberyards – places you can...
Very nice! I like your tray modifications (I'm a sucker for cubbies...)
Ayup. I've been needing to run base moulding for months now, so as to finish one of the two bathrooms I'm renovating. So that I can then move on to building a sink base for the other. Months.
I tested the Barron – it works as advertised and I do think it's a great way to get good results if you're new to sawing. But in the long run, as was mentioned above, learning to saw to a line – any...
