I chopped up a Shop vac hose to make my own adapter. The Festool vac now fits everything the Shop vac did.

I thought it was just me … apparently not! This is my second one as the first one had problems with the buttons as mentioned in previous post. I don’t trust the readings at all and find I’m comparing...

You are correct but I can add that the supporting wood underneath the drawers are at a slight angle so the drawers tend to want to sit or drift to the outside of the box.

No kiddin … that was worth the price of admission.:):):)

My router plates insert rings are concaved by about 1/32. This is usually not a problem unless making small dovetails, the rabbet cuts will follow the flatness of the insert. I have been trying to...

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Changed a few things but as these boxes were for someone else and they wanted the original shape the only thing I was allowed to play with were proportions. Here is links to a previous prototype for...

OH NO … I’ve been branded the wrong gender and of all places … the internet. I made the boxes and I’m 100% male… ask my wife! I can never show my face here again.

Excellent job Al … I’ve book marked your blog and will be referring to it often. Thanks for the effort.

Brian

I can’t imagine the time spent with attention to detail … fine work!
I could look at that for hours.

Brian

Show off! … but then you really do have something to show off, nicely done with spectacular wood. Especially like the hinges and the lid support.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a photo with the lid down...

Mighty fine craftsmanship and nice design as well, some ones going to be happy to receive that.

Brian

I hear you loud and clear, I try to choke up on the chisel so if a slip happens it’s kind of controlled to some extent. That being said a few days ago I too found out how sharp the business end of a...

Clearly your hand tools are in a league of their own, really impressive. Thanks for the links … some rather interesting information from all over. Nice to learn a little bit more about some...

I respect what you are telling me Harry about the thin pins, but for me being rather new to this had cut dovetail thing I thought it might be something to strive for as in trying to make sure your...

Thank you kindly gentlemen for your advice, if its one thing I have learned is that practice makes perfect so I’ll try some different methods and keep practicing. One thing though, with all this...
