    Do you have woodworking knowledge you're just dying to share?
    Want to be an author at Sawmill Creek?

    Now you have a new area to publish articles!

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!


    The process is simple:

    1. Join the Authors group by visiting this page.
    2. Once you have access, visit the Authors forum.
    3. Start your article by creating a new thread in that forum.


    TIPS

    If your article is too long for a single post, don't fret ! Spread your article over multiple posts, and we'll merge them together into a single post when the article is ready to be published.

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!

    Writer's Block?

    We're looking for tool reviews, woodworking tips, woodturning techniques, jigs and fixtures, finished projects step-by-step, finishing techniques, social woodworking experiences, and even good compilations of our existing thread topics.

    Good luck and Happy writing!

    Wild Fires

    Got back from our trip to Yellowstone last Saturday. Traveled through a part of Wyoming that had burned around August 21. That fire burned over 174,000

    Joinery Overexposure?

    For me, the top and drawer hang together nicely and the thru tenons play well enough but the voluptuous curves and gigantic dovetails might be better

    Help me choose a shaper from 3 options.

    You can use big tenon cutters for small tenons, but you can't use small tenon cutters for big tenons.

    I use 250mm disks for a lot of tenoning,

    Thank you for the guidance. It looks like it will be the 150/5. I went to pick one up at the local yesterday and the dealer said he has had a run on them.
