Ok with clamps? Never thought i'd hear that! Ha! Looks like a nice bench to get going!
Fair enough, thanks!
I am about to acquire a large maple "cookie," about 4 feet in diameter. There is some rot in the middle which should make a neat design feature but my question lies in preservation/drying. I'd like...
Just curious how you cut the drawer faces out of the front of your apron? I've done it in the past by plunge cutting with a jig saw but figured there was an easier/more precise way.
Got to work on my 5 dollar garage sale find a little more. Found the no4 earlier this summer but the other 2 just Fri. 443046
The motor is mounted to the frame and is oriented as pictured so it can sit flat on the bench if need be.
Hey Brice,
I was referring to the drive center being 1/2 in which doesnt seem to be standard for the new stuff. Using those "pins" as dogs is what i was guessing they were for but hated to assume....

I was recently given the lathe in this picture. No make stamped on the lathe and no manual. Anyone have tips on how to use this headstock drive? The pins just lateral to the center go into...
How did you attach the sides together? Are they just butted up and glued or are they rabbet jointed? Hard to tell from the picture
Well, it ended up getting longer (larger) than originally planned so plywood was the material of choice to keep costs down. It will obviously speed things along too but I think edge banding the top...

Thanks so much for the suggestions....definitely some food for thought. Or Ill just work on her to pony up for solid walnut!
I am planning to build a dresser for my sister's new baby in the next few months. She wants it to be a 3 drawer in the mid-century modern style but also doesn't want to spend a lot of money. To save...
Also made this with a cut off...stepstool for the garage 415390
The toys were getting a little out of control in the basement so my wife asked if I could build a toy shelf for them. I wanted to make this a blend of metal and wood for something a little different....
It doesn't seem like a dowel would make any difference in strength of the joint. I'd still be a little concerned about big lateral forces to the table breaking the joints apart though. If there...
Had to use 3/4" ply for mine....when you have a 3 year old son, all he sees is a ramp with a hole in the top...much has been launched off of our set!
I used general arm-r-seal about 3 coats brushed on. In CO we have a lot of "pine beetles" that are killing huge tracts of pine trees. The only up side is the fungus left behind that gives the wood...
First post on here but I recently finished this beetle kill pine box. I live in CO (where hardwood is scarce) so I have been trying to work more and more with the local flavor. Our local sawmill has...
