Our Picks

Where to start is to determine just what do you want to use the bench for. At the time for me it was flatwork and planing. I looked at many plans and decided on parts of several. Not sure where each part came from but the contributing plans were in Wood Magazine, Shop Notes and Popular Mechanics.

$600 flat.  Almost no hours on the machine the  frosting is still on the ways
Guy used it as a  glorified drill press.

I not sure where to post this so if I'm wrong please move it.
A saw mill is all about wood so I thought I would post it here.

I had mentioned in another post I was building a desk. This isn't anything really challenging but I want to prove I'm doing something. I need 2 of these, one for a basement area I use and another for our main floor "office". I was planning on doing both in an A&C style, but I now think the second one will be more contemporary.

Thank you for joining us. Below is the Military Challenge Coin Display as described by The Patriot Woodworker network. This is a design that we drew up with the help of designs seen all over the web, it is easy to build, most folks have the tools that are necessary to build it, and the finishing process is quite simple.

My wife has /does collect artwork and she is always in need of storage chests. I decided that my next chest would have 12 raised panels, be painted, and made to her specifications(to fit some artwork).

Trained as a Fine Artist at the University of Maryland, twelve of Lora Susan Irish’s pure breed dog oil paintings have been published as limited edition art prints. Her art has been featured on the front covers of “Doberman Quarterly” 1991, “Samoyed Quarterly” – all four issues of 1991, and “Shetland Sheepdog Quarterly” 1991 published by Hoflin Press.

Many of my projects involve bow fronts, which result in compound angle dovetails ...
I do enjoy building furniture with dovetailing challenges.
Between furniture pieces, I find time to build a new tool. This time it is the Moxon dovetail vise I have been promising myself for a while. My first and only one was built in early 2011, after Chris Schwarz helped put it on the map. I immediately modified this design, and have been making modifications since. (Link: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMadeTools/MoxonDovetailVise.html This new Moxon incorporates the best ideas.

Marine Captain Joe Reney contacted us and asked us if we could build some challenge coin displays for his men, we obliged, and Patriot Woodworker Leo Pedersen donated two boxes of his displays for the cause.

Sometimes you meet someone who touches your life, and you want to do something for them. Jim Abraham is one of those individuals.
I met Jim at the Cleveland Clinic as I was getting my treatments for prostate cancer. Jim is a professional magician and volunteers at the Clinic and always greeted us with a smile, and performed magic tricks for the patients. I asked for a business card so I could get an idea for creating a carving for him.
Thank you Jim for making our daily visits so pleasurable.

My latest woven basket illusion, a ceremonial basket design that I call Navajo Rain Cross.  The cross symbol can also be found on Navajo rugs and pottery and is often used to represent Spider Woman, the first Navajo deity. The basket is twelve inches in diameter and the wood is maple. Beading, pyrography and ink were used to create the basket illusion.

A great project for your outdoor patio or indoor game room, don't buy one, build it!
 

With my deck refurb in the finishing painting stage I can now work on next outside project.  For whatever reason the rest of the house has vinyl siding and soffits, but he carport seems to have been left out.  For many years I have just painted it, but now I just want the vinyl soffit and be done with it.  Of course while I am at it a few upgrades are in order.

Now this may be getting the cart before the horse but lets call it collecting supplies you will need to connect your DC to machines. Thin wall PVC will work just fine . For the best you can order metal ducts any size you want but you will also have to buy expensive connections .
