    My first impression was to prefer the horizontal grain as that should be more dimensionally stable - essentially quarter sawn.

    Then I decided I’m not sure why it matters as plenty of flat sawn...

    Tony,

    I bought their track and fence and made a shooting board. Works really well. Fence seems accurate, but I haven’t done a lot of 45 degree miter work with it - just some small trim pieces....

    I guess there aren’t enough new members or they aren’t in the hand tool forum, cause if I was new I would jump all over that 8C or any of the rest. A well tuned hand plane is such a joy to use and,...

    I love Alex’s YouTube channel. Definitely one of my favorites. His first videos were cringey, but he learned and improved. For some reason I find YouTube better for food than woodworking, although I...

    A router plane is really good at refining tenons parallel to the surface of the board and adjusting thickness. I’m not great at sawing tenons either, but I can clean them up with a router plane with...

    They do an online question and answer most Saturday mornings at Lost Art Press. You could ask directly what they think. They’ve built tons of these out of various woods.

    At 14 tpi (if I looked up the correct saw), I don’t think it will make that big of a deal that it is filed rip. It will still crosscut pretty darn well.

    Maybe the bottom should be fixed and the top removable. I’m sure it could be done in an attractive manner.

    One way would be to put a frame around the top. One end of the mitered frame is not...

    I may be misinterpreting your “30 deg bevel in the back,” but you do not want a back bevel. You want a secondary bevel of 30 degrees.

    It seems to me that the question is not which glue joint is strongest, but is the joint Derek selected strong enough for his application? Derek believes it is and the video (which I have not watched...

    The doors will be left open mostly to “display” the antique chandelier and vanity. I think it is a visual thing. Plus, there may be some bedroom furniture along that wall that may make an outward...
