Yet...now the other dividers stand out as narrower than the "repaired" one....

Bob, the most important key to making a fix is matching the wood - grain, texture and colour. Get this right, and it will be difficult to spot. My...

I started an air cleaner thread last August ('product shout out'), about the Alen we bought in July- then in mid September this thread was started:...

3d printing ... woodshop ... Prompted a dumb idea ... How about a machine with CNC controlled rollers to create bent laminations without a...

Derek, the only message the eye will read across those three drawer fronts is the story in the matched grain across the width. The fix is inspired. ...

I think I am committed on everything now, I did get my chop blank today. It has no grade stamp on it. By hand (I have not taken a class and am not...

Bill, I think you have inspired a project for me to make with existing pieces of scrap in my shop.

I did some repair work on some reeeeeeeaaaallllyyy expensive chairs for a 163 foot mega-yacht. This set of 12 chairs cost them $72,000 (yes,...
