Nice looking slab. A few comments: 1) The sewing machine base appears to be too small for that size slab. I'd be concerned that the table would tend to fall over. 2) I would suggest not adding wax...

Very nice job! - Good idea to use reclaimed wood.

I just finished this piece for my wife last week.

Used my Festool Domino for the shelf joinery, and dados for the dividers.

Hi All,

I remember Ken from his Badger Pond days. He was a great guy, and a valuable member of the woodworking community. My condolences to his family and to all who knew him.

Evening SMC'ers,

I'm making a mantle out of walnut for my brother's brick fireplace. The mantle is essentially a large slab of walnut that will sit upon a brick shelf support.

What would be the...

Dan - Yes, That's how I usually seat my taper. Its a bit frustrating that its not working.

Got the taper in the freezer. I'll probably try a combination of using scotch brite and chaulk dust....

My drill press taper keeps falling out, with the chuck still attached. I've tried cleaning the mating surfaces with solvent, and it stays for awhile, but then eventually (not to long a time), it fall...

Todd - I'll have to put something together to show you what I'm building.

But in words- I'm making built-ins that will partially surround the screen.

The right most cabinet will be in a corner...

Howdy Fellow Creekers,

I just completed the basic install of a Home Theater in my basement and am now planning to build some...

This is actually a stealth gloat. I found a new lumber supplier in my area that I went to visit yesterday for the first time. This place has only one price for all the lumber they sell $2.00/bf. And...

Very nice. I'm interested in building it myself (for my son). DO you have any plans? Also - did you apply and finish to it?

Thanks
Bart

I'm getting ready to do some outdoor construction project this spring, where I will need to build some retaining walls. One project is basically a deck structure to provide a foundation for a shed....

Zack, I'm a born in Bklyn Yankee and I like your sense of humor. I also have to say that I don't believe you when you say you don't inhale - Seems to me that you inhale very deep from where I sit.

I have the Grizzly 1014Z - I agree that the table in front of the disk sander is not very stable. But on the other hand - for what I use this machine for - it gets the job done and is inexpensive. I...

I'm getting prepared to take on a fairly large cabinet building project and I'm interested if anyone has tried one of the commercial cabinet designing programs that are available. I happened to come...

Your post got my interest so I went over to see what the Oak forum folks had to say. Personally, I never found the Oak to my liking. After reading the personal attacks they have posted against...

I recently cancelled my subscription to Wood. In my opinion, it is not up to par with the other mags I get.

I hate it, I hate it I hate it. So, what do you think, do I hate it or what?

Cast my vote for the Dewalt. I've had the DW 705 for a few years and like it alot. I typically think Dewalt tools are a bit overpriced (its the yellow paint- must cost more to buy). But in this case,...

Ken, looks like you won't be needed that SS check this month!

Well, I've made lots of improvements, but most recently, like you - I built a miter saw stand with fold out wings and dedicated dust collection. Made it from the plan in Popular Woodworking. Also...

Ken, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife - God Bless.
