Shorts, Anyone?
Hello there, Most of you know I like hand tools and that I am a Youtuber. Youtube has a type of content called Shorts. They are short 3 minute or less videos, basically meant to grab folks' attention and maybe get them to peruse your channel. I thought to imbed links to my short form videos in this thread as I share them on Youtube. This is meant to be an ongoing thread, similar to a few we have here on TPWW. Here is my most recent.

General Woodworking 8Tri Square
Nothing fancy here. Several years ago, I made this tri square specifically for my drill press. I know the light colored wood is Maple but not sure about the darker one. I think it's Walnut. It's assembled with Maple dowels. It's pretty accurate when I hold it next to my machinist square which is dead accurate. In the first photo I'm holding them up in front of florescent lights. No gaps at all. Cold and hot weather hasn't changed it a bit which surprised me some. I was thinking over time it

I don't know what you call this thing, but my daughter has just bought an older home for her children and neices to live in near the university most will be attending. There are outside steps leading to a basement door and there is a cover over the steps to keep rain, leaves, and potentially intruders out. It is quite rotted and I'e been tasked with making a new cover. The current one is 50" wide and 56" long and in two parts that hinge open. I'm looking for good alternatives. M

Home Improvement 7Details First
I've got a request for a coffee table that can raise or lower from 14" high to 18" high. I've got the geometry figured out, but before committing to the final material I like to verify that details will work. This is my test for a pivot bracket that'll be under the table top and let a leg frame pivot. Twin tapered tenons into the underside. Fit is perfect and with a little glue it should never fall out. Embedded nylock nut needs to be a bit deeper. Should kee

General CNC Work 24Desk
My daughter and her fiance wanted a desk to fit a specific spot in their apartment. He drew up a decent set of plans to work from. I decided to make it from ash, so I picked up a bunch of 8/4 and 4/4 lumber. Cut the support pieces to length, flattened one face, jointed one side and cut pairs from the same piece. Flattened one face, jointed one edge on the rest of the 8/4 stuff and ripped strips 1-3/4 wide. Will rotate each strip 90 deg to bring the quarter sawn side to the face in the usual

Coat hanger
Zack posted a topic in General Woodworking,
My wife teaches preschool at our community elementary school, the principal asked her if I could make a hanger for the crossing guard vests. She said he just wanted a board with some dowels to hang the vests on. I said I’d make one but it isn’t just going to be a board with some dowels sticking out if it.-
