Hahaha. I have a 7 yr old buddy. Too damn smart, and can be a royal pain but they're awesome! This is Colonel

Thanks Jim! It's my style to bite off more than I can chew. First end grain cutting board, why not do it with a border, MTM makes it look so easy! Suuure add a few glue ups, haha why not. ...
These are awesome, and love the shepherd!!
Another quick update, squeezing in some work when I can. Everything came out of the glue up relatively flat. Man I wish I could just send her through the planer. Instead I sharpened my #5 and went...
Found some more time to tinker. I decided the mismatched lines couldn't stay. So I aligned the blade kerf so it would offset the difference and wen to it. Thanks for the idea Roger. I did the...
Thanks guys GREAT suggestions. What I've done so far is use a bit of titebond to tack the piece back in place. This worked surprisingly well, the goal is to just get it in place here.

Hi all! After completing my first edge grain board it said "f" it , lets get crazy and try end grain. Like my last project I'm using maple and Black Walnut. I chose a design with a border around...
Love the rifle, sick paint job! Send me some of that .308 to test in My Scar 17 :D
I have to say, from your opening paragraph I wasn't expecting much but man....That looks good!
Thanks Jim!! I spent more time than I'd like to admit looking at pictures of cutting boards to come up with the design. I can be such a dork some times. When I looked at it after I wondered if I...
This was my smallest project yet but i had alot of fun. I finally purchased a thickness planer and thought this was a good project to test it out on. Headed over to Highland Hardwoods and grabbed...

That looks awesome!! I despice the builder grade mouldings. Id rather the house came with none at all so I dont have to rip them out. Its the one reason I want to build a house. Well, that and...
Yeah I may be using this one more in the future. I have to say, this table ended up being alot trickier than I imagined. If the top went over the base, it would have been 50% easier. But with this...
<p>
I thought I'd chime in here and provide an update. This was my first big project and haha, it didn't get the response I was hoping for! But it was a learning experience and ai appreciated all...
Thank you sir!!
You're totally right. I just went and looked, it's Enduro Var. I'm really impressed with it's durability. I mean this table gets so much use and the finish hasn't budged.

Gents! It's been a while since I posted here. I did a side table a while ago and wanted to share it. I had some 4/4 Sapele laying around and thought it could make a cool table. I had seen some...
That may just be the coolest tool name I've ever heard. "Stand back, while I unsheathe my Holy Galahad"
And great work! As someone from the Adirondacks, this speaks to me
I just tried these Micro Spun Towels from Rockler on my coffee table build using Arm R Seal.

I have to say I'm pretty impressed although they are much...
Thanks Barry, appreciate the kind words. The countertop is still perfect but it really hasn't been very long at all since finishing, so we shall see. I've in fact learned my lesson. I just...
Wow, thanks for putting that together. I have to get some pictures but the base is built, actually, very similar to the one you posted. I've also put an Ogee edge on it which helps to break up the...
Hi Dave, they are 10" tall and 5" wide. They aren't typical legs as they don't have the larger squared off area on top which is why I am attaching 5 1/2" wide blocks made out of the same 1 3/4" Sipo...
Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by my thread :o
I was asked to build a substantial coffee table by my lovely wife. The general design is this, but I'm not using the hack job approach they do...
Hi all, I wanted to give a quick response. I've been travelling extensively from work which has delayed things a bit. I was recently in Austin for a very cool event, SXSW and am writing this from...
beautiful slabs! I can say that I share you hand planing addiction
