Has anyone used a toy box lid support like this?

Thanks I think those are the same hinges I used on my previous project . The problem with this chest is that the wall and lid are parallel, not perpendicular. So I need something with that soft close...
It's been awhile since I've done any serious woodworking. At one point I built a toy chest for my kids and used some pretty fancy and expensive torsion hinges. Current project is an antique &...
I've seen a few projects to inspire a foray into carving and this carved box lid http://lumberjocks.com/projects/4066#
seems like it would be an decent place to start. I have a full set of hand...
well, I'm not so attached to the leaf profile; I could be persuaded to do a double round profile. The important thing is that it's on both faces of the corner.
John - the wooden handle seems dead...
creating a corner beading requires two passes over the router bit. you're thinking of the first one- in which case the bearing does indeed give you a good reference. For the second pass, the table...
sorry that should read "between the bit and workpiece"
picture laying the contoured face of the leg down on the router table. As you push it across, the bit is fixed and the bead is not tracking...
I am getting geared up for a new project - nightstands. Below is the current design. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wxKiTvol-tY/SxPWgZT86GI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/-x1_2ovriTM/s640/bezier%20nightstand.jpg
I plan to...
The Design Committee decided that Kermit didn't fit the decor, so he was removed from his throne and stuffed into the coat closet in the guest bedroom. I don't think we've heard the last of him....
Andrew - my mom works @ the Case factory in New Holland - I'm from Knauers. Small world full of small towns!
The panels are QSWO veneered MDF panels. The veneer sheets are narrow so there are...
thanks for the compliments
I wanted to visually "lighten" the hutch so rather than having a solid face of drawer fronts,so I left the opening. The current plan for the opening in the center of the...
I started this project in May and just finished up. This was the first large project that I have designed and executed solo from start to finish. Overall there are a few things I would do...
LOL @ returning it - unfortunately I built it so the manufacturer doesn't accept returns! But I'm honored that my work was mistaken for store-bought...
I guess I will try adding a magnetic catch...
It is attached with two butt hinges. The top is flush, but the bottom sticks out by about 3/16". Can I adjust the hinges somehow to bring the bottom corner in without affecting the top side?
...
I will try to support the pieces better - it is possible that they are binding near the end of the cut, however that wouldn't explain the drift issue.
Paul - thanks for the explanation. If the...
anyone else have a guess as to why I can't cut a straight line with this jigsaw?
The blade can't be dull - this is the first cut I have used it for, straight out of the package. Not sure what you mean by "blade not parallel to sides"?
OK, I got the sole tightened up, and as close to 90 degrees as I can get it. I chucked a T308B Xtra Clean blade in there. The task at hand is cutting a full-size plywood sheet to final dimensions. ...
thanks guys
I have tightened the tensioning wheel and it seems to have firmed up the shoe
The blade is being bent by the fact that the guides aren't perfectly centered under the chuck. I see...
I have a reconditioned Bosch 1590EVSK - pretty decent little jigsaw for basic breakdown of stock and rough cutting some curves. Tonight I was using it to finish-cut some plywood sheets that are too...
I have a sheet of wet/dry sandpaper glued to a granite plate for flattening waterstones. I need to change the paper, but I am having some trouble getting the 3M Super 77 adhesive to release. This...
good tip
are there any brass bushing kits that come with a centering tool? Otherwise how would you go about centering it?
I have to cut 16 mortises for some butt hinges. I plan to make a template out of 3/4" plywood.
I have a PC 690 router with standard bases. Looking at my bits, none of the top bearing bits are...
good advice to use the Forstner bit. I will use 4 figure-8's along each long apron - hopefully that will be enough to support the lift. Lifting by the aprons is not an option since there are panels...
