Speaker mesh is a good idea.

We have a big house and a mesh wifi network with a node on each floor to keep the speeds good throughout the house. We have 14 Alexa devices scattered throughout the house and all of our lights and...

And no to the remote question. Just wifi.

I think something like that may work. I would have to probably do slats on the sides so wifi signal doesn't get too jammed up, and the back will be fully open. Could work though.

My honey-do list has been updated to include a wood piece that will hide the internet router, wifi hub, and Phillips Hue station in the corner of the living room. I am looking for some inspiration...

Has anyone had any experience with the Enco 14" bandsaw 199-9005. Looking at one for sale and I can't find much of anything about the saw performance. It is made in Taiwan and has the same look as...

LOL. I work on my projects on the weekends and evenings after work, so the only way they get to be fast is through the time lapse. I'm not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but I was able...

My wife found a picture of a locker that would hold the kids backpacks, coats, shoes, gloves, hats, etc... and of course, she asked "do you think you can make this"? Here is the result. Worked out...

Finally have finished the desk I started in January of 2006.

Well, as I said, I have started finishing up the two upper cabinets that I started on originally and here is their current state of unreadiness. The first two pics are of the upper right cabinet and...

As mentioned, I started on this project a couple years ago and you can see what happens to your work when you let it sit around for that period of time.

I have completed the bottom three peices and they are now kind of installed. I say kind of because I haven't actually attached the desk tops to the bases and I haven't completed the hardware...

In the continuing saga. The desk is made of a mixture of solid red oak and red oak plywood. I have made the tops out of yellow pine mostly because I was afraid to spend that much money on oak tops...

This first piece is the lower left cabinet. In order to make this manageable to move around, each piece is stand alone, capable of being moved independently. My first real mistake came in the...

I decided to finally get around to posting the progress reports on a computer desk I started some time ago. It wasn't until I started to do this that I realized how long it has been since I started...

The following is an article regarding Saw Stop's continuing agenda to force manufacturers to use their mechanism to prevent injuries. http://www.designnews.com/CA6360672.html

If you read the...

Merisier translates to wild cherry.

You could do what I did when I built mine, which is keep guessing until the angles all work. :rolleyes: Trial and error may not be the smartest way to go, but it does work eventually.

I have been looking into doing a leather top on the desk I am building and found some instructions at the following web site.

From these...

I routed out a 3/4" dado for each of the horizontal shelves and clamped and glued them in place. The back was 1/8" backerboard painted white and stapled in place with a staple gun. I figured it was...

I didn't end up making it as wide as the original because my wife thought the 42" width was a bit much. I ended up with 36" width. Otherwise the depth and height dimensions are pretty close. It's...

I did find a picture of the original online, so I thought I would post it so you could see the inspiration. For what it's worth, it is currently on sale for $299.

The shelves are all dadoed, but where the roof angles meet each other and where the roof meets the sides, there are biscuits and finally, the little wrap around at the base of the unit I used pocket...

You will have to get in line behind me. If someone wanted to pay me $348 for these, I certainly wouldn't say no. $20.00 worth of materials, a couple of hours of my time... Maybe if I get too busy...

Finally, you can see the finished project being used by my daughter.
