You are correct. Across the grain of 5.5 inches.

I just found a quick calculator online with specific coefficients for different species and moisture variances. I came up with a conservative...

I am making one of those balancing wine holders as a birthday gift but I want to dress it up a bit. I have a piece of hard maple. I want to frame the maple with a .5” -.75” strip of Purple Heart...

will do. And thanks for the tips, I'll definitely put those to good use. One more question to you, though. Since i'm going to pour probably transparent, should I finish the inside faces where the...

My vision was for it to be the same thickness as the top itself 3/4. The LEDs certainly would make it pop, that may be something I can add at a later time.

On another note, how did you make...

The plan for the top was to glue it up with the cavity and pour the resin in. I’m undecided on making it transparent or not.
The top itself will be 18x36, the resin will be 4x30.

Is the resin...

Thanks guys! As for the lines, I’m pretty new to sketchup, so I really just used it for general ideas and measurements. My plan is to joint all the boards so the glue lines won’t be as prominent as...

I think that’s where Tony Montana kept his “little friend”

I threw together a plan in sketchup for a couple of end tables, see pic. They will be poplar stained weathered gray. My thought was to have an element to tie into the rest of the rooms decor, which...

Thanks Jim! In hindsight, I wish I made the pedestal a bit wider... but for a first go, I call it a success.

Not sure why the pics turned sideways??! sorry bout that!

After 2.5 months of working on it here and there when I got the chance, the fireplace is done... it was my first big project. First time using a table saw and router. I learned a lot. I learned what...

One more Comment on the MCLS Router bit set. I just received the replacement set and noticed a huge difference. The original set they sent me must have been a previous return. It had dust all over...

Well I took the bearing off and one side was covered in metal shavings.

It seems to be lined up and turning easy now. Thanks for...

So as it turns out... amazon is sending me a new set. I can’t wait to make some sawdust again, but right now we’re dealing with bomb-cyclone-Grayson-snowpocolypse-blizzard-of-inescapable-death in NJ....

That would be awesome! Like I said I’m just starting out so anything would help! Let me know what you need from me.

You guys are correct. It is an MLCS bit from a set of 15 for $50. I got a $50 gift card from my job and I just needed a set to get me started. I figured I'd use the opportunity to get a small...

Just bought my first router and bit set. Looking over the bits, the Cove bit bearing looks to be not perpendicular and off center to...

Hey all. I'm finally in a home I can see myself in for a long time to come. One of its shortcomings is there is no fireplace. I am in the brainstorming phase of this project. I was thinking of...
