Phil Lowe. I was very fortunate to have taken classes with Phil for about 5 years before he passed away. He was as nice as he was talented
Hi Keegan,
yes your table does look very similar to pictures that the client has provided. Curious, did you make the tambour/reeding for the base our source it commercially?
Thanks,
Mike
Thanks again for all the comments. The designer has told me the table will be used for crafting and gaming with counter height stools around it. Still not sure what’s driving the request for the very...
Thanks for the comments, concerns and suggestions. I’m in the process of doing some scale drawings with pedestal alone, pedestal with a round base as Jamie suggested and also one with 4-6 feet...
Looking for some help ... A designer friend has asked me about building a round pedestal table for one of her clients. The client has specific requests for the table to be 36" high, 66" in diameter...
I've had the 118 model for a long time and also bought the 2350 model about 2 years ago. The 118 worked very well for most anything I used it for. I bought the 2350 to get the 2" pin capability, and...
I don't have any suggestions in CA, but heres a few in the Northeast:

I'll add Epic Woodworking/Tom McLaughlin and Squarerule Furniture with a +1 for Ishitani, Doucette & Wolfe, Kobeomsuk and Curtis Buchanan. Phil Lowe's "Art of Woodworking" series on Youtube is very...
There's a good article on push sticks in FWW by Ellen Kaspern: https://www.finewoodworking.com/project-guides/shop-machines/mighty-diy-push-stick. I've used this style for years made from 3/4" and...
This question might be a little " off the wall" (pun intended). I'm building a console table for my daughter, who wants to apply a slightly textured faux grasscloth wallpaper to the surface of the...
another vote for (anything) Starrett, the quality of their products and customer service are outstanding. I also much prefer the satin finish on the rulers as they're much easier to read
Two of Phil's former students have launched an effort to digitally archive more than 300 furniture drawings (done by hand) that Phil did over his more than 40 yr career. Phil's drawings are pretty...
In addition to the regular programs, North Bennet St used to offer private instruction options, which might be worth looking into
Bob Miller at Masswoodworks posted about a commissioned bench he was building on IG a while back. Not sure about shipping from Boston, but might be worth checking out
nice sled and great video
I'm building a set of walnut barstools for a kitchen island and am deciding on a finish. My usual for walnut and is a coat of Watco Danish oil for aesthetics (color) followed by multiple coats of...
Amazon sells the Biesemeyer rails only (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RFPJSQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I swapped these for the original 52" rails on my saw, only issue...
I have the Supermax 16/32 and like lit a lot. Initially got it to smooth (lot of) thin strips that I was using for a bent lamination chair seat. Worked great for that project and I've found lots of...
We learned yesterday that woodworking legend Phil Lowe passed away after a brief illness. I had the great pleasure of getting to know Phil over the past 5 years through many classes taken at his...
+1 for the Unibond 800. I'm working on a set of walnut barstools that have a u-shaped seat and foot-rail, each laminated from 12-15 strips (each ~4 ft long). The working time of the Unibond can be...
I've used 1/2" poplar for a number of drawer boxes, it's worked fine and I can usually find it at my wood supplier.
you can also buy replacement pads online (https://www.ereplacementparts.com/glide-pad-p-84145.html)
I've used both hot glue, packing tape and latex (not silicone) caulk to "block" areas in epoxy pours on a bunch of different wood species. All worked well
Thanks Jim
