Thank Stan. I'm In California so that would not work for me as I like to examine any wood I use.

Bruce, the empty one was left empty for the sake of the photography to help define the stand. I started posting on my Instagram site (kpwoodenstone) and the first bite was singer/songwriter David...
Mark,
I guess technically they are called drum sanders or thickness sanders. The longest section on the stands I'm currently making have between 5 and 6 laminations. I did experiments with having...
These stands are laminated using pieces cut from a larger plank. Band sawed thin then placed through my sanding planer to achieve the final thickness of 1/16". The pieces were cold bent over three...
Ted and Bill,
The curved douglas fir section is built like a sailboat mast with multiple staves, each with a slight bevel. You can see the staves in the upside down photo as the grain differs for...
This small tray of Douglas fir is about 14” x 3” x 5” with wenge bases.Multi use.....The fir came from an old 1800s house that my brother used to own.Very likely first growth fir. It had a unique...
Rob,
The second photo shows the hidden compartments. They are accessed by flipping over the center two pieces of the lower shelf.
Here is a recent project just completed. This cabinet is made from mahogany and measures approximately 5' 3" tall x 23" wide and about 13" deep. Its a variation of a design I did back in 1982. In...
Carroll,
In Sept. I purchased a Lenox Tri Master carbide tip blade from Bandsawbladesdirect.com. The blade had about four teeth that were not properly ground and they quickly sent out another...
I'm going to upgrade my 3/4 hp motor on my Older Delta bandsaw and am looking for options for suppliers. I know about Graingers, Grizzly and Dultmeier.
Any other suppliers you all can offer ?
...
Have you considered calling Louis and talking to him directly ? I just called him yesterday and he spent well over 45 minutes with me discussing a lenox blade issue I'm having on a blade I purchased...
James,
I've been using pig skin in many of my boxes and it may be an alternative to felt. It has a tighter nap for one so it won't collect as much "crumbs" as the fuzzy felt but still offers...
This case is designed to hold a "piano" of wine which is a 6 liter, 3 liter, 1.5 liter and 750 milliliter of wine bottles. A Steinway Model D, their largest concert piano, was chosen as the...
Bruce,
These boxes are for bragging rights, as well as the wine bottles that they contain. :)
I purchased the white/black/white purfling from Luthier's Mercantile in Windsor, Ca. I then cut a thin strip of poplar the width of my abalone and sandwiched/glue the w/b/w, poplar and w/b/w ...
I recently completed two veneered wine boxes for large format bottles. One box is for a 3 liter, the second is a 1 1/2 liter. Both boxes have a poplar core. The planks were resawn, then reversed and...
Patrick,
I've a friend in Petaluma that was also looking to have a log milled. My research found this guy : Kyle Dowd 707-774-2787 in Santa Rosa
He was recommended by someone on Nextdoor...
Update: Contacted Bandsawbladesdirect this morning. A new blade is being made for me and will go out today. The'll include a UPS label so I can send the bad blade back so they can get credit from...
Yes, that is exactly what happened. Odd that the three teeth were not all together.....Like maybe someone sneezed.....
Yes, I would suspect the blades are sent to bandsawbladesdirect in rolls to be cut to length and welded by them.
I've used a Lenox Tri Master band saw blades before and found it to be one of the smoothest cuts I've experienced. Tremendous for the thin veneers I cut. Well, eventually my last blade became dull...
Thanks Tom. My concern is that that I would be replacing it with something similar to the Delta X which I was not a fan of. Alternatives such as the Supermax 25 x2 (5 hp) and the Jet 22-44 (3 hp) are...
Considering purchasing one of the above. I'll use it primarily on thin,prior resawn hardwood that would spatter if sent through a planer so probably just 80 grit and finish sanding with a Festool...
Steve,
This unit was brought to my attention by seamon_custom_builds on Instagram. From the look of his products it appears adequate to burn into wood. Much of his work is quite dark. The...
Does anyone have experience with the lasers sold by Universal Engravers ? I am looking at a 15W unit with a 40 x 40 table for engraving wood. I may be making the occasional box for wine bottles and...
