Ah yes, I can see the resemblance!

Very nice, Fred. I'd like to make something similar for my son, but with the sides tapering in, pirate chest style.
The top looks fantastic.

Here's an excerpt from an article in The Independent that I think is worth a gander.

"Deniers' Myth Number One: Scientists are divided on whether man is causing global warming. In 2004, the...

Hey James,
Your cabinets in the making will be a great addition to your shop. My shop is currently full of open shelves that need to be converted to closed cabinets. Be sure to share more pics...

Thanks for all your suggestions! In addition to reading your responses, I been spending hours scouring old forum posts here and on other sites, and it seems that no matter how many times Waterlox...

Good stuff, Kevin. I'm happy you're sharing this, as the exact same idea occurred to me quite recently - right after looking up the price of the full Beale kit.
Keep us posted!

For what it's worth, here's what Andy Rae has to say on the topic in 'The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction':

"How should you orient the annular rings when you edge...

Larry,
I don't have the set up for spraying, but I would be interested in hearing your methods nonetheless.
Thanks,

Excellent work. I think the subtlety of design balances very nicely with the drama of the grain. The butternut and maple look great together.

Thanks, guys. I read some good things about waterlox somewhere and was thinking of trying that out too. I think I'm just going to have to buy a variety of finishes and try out some different...

Looks fantastic, Maury!
Great timing too, as it gives me some good ideas to ponder for a similar project I have coming up. I really like the way you built the knife rack.
What did you use for a...

Oy vey!
With so many options and so many conflicting opinions on wood finishing, I often walk away from my research feeling more befuddled than I was when I started!
I'm nearly finished building a...

Yep, those Bosch switches! I had the same problem with my Bosch router and jigsaw. Took em apart, cleaned the fine dust out of the switch housing, and problem solved. Until it gets filled up with...

Yeah, if I can time it right, I like to remove the glue when it's no longer goopy but not quite hardened. Given a choice of extremes though, I prefer to wait till it's dried and use a cabinet...

I prefer B as well. I definitely like the grain in the middle boards of the A side best, but the contrast would bug me.
Tough call.

Fine looking bench, Tim. Is that spruce?

Funny how different subcultures on the web use different anacronyms. My own darling little Nest of Vipers frequents a mothering forum, where they always refer to their husbands as 'dh' (darling...

I think you have to make sure that 'layers' are selected to be remembered in each scene, and that the open drawers and closed drawers have their own layers.
I'm a sketchup novice, but I think that's...

I've owned both the Bosch and Ridgid, and though the fence, mitre slots and blade changes on the Ridgid are better, the Bosch was still superior in performance.
If the new bosch performs as well...

With all due respect Joe, your comparison doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Spending your own money on your own frivolous pursuits is in no way the same thing as planning a hugely ostentatious and...

Two years ago, my wife and I rented a huge tent, a punch fountain, glassware, tables, chairs, cutlery, gold rimmed china plates, a commercial barbeque, a sound system and a maid, and with the...

Another vote for QS. Plainsawn oak is used so ubiquitously (and often tastelessly, IMNSHO) that I'm starting to find it really ugly. Besides the stability of QS, the cross flecks make it a billion...

One of my favorite tools of late, if you don't have it already:

Anything made of wood will last longer and be stabler if it is sealed with a finish. Temperature and humidity levels change radically over the seasons in my neck of the woods, so the minimal effort...

Keith, that's a brilliant idea! Good strong magnets are fantastic shop aides. I have several rare earth magnets from LV, but it would cost a small bundle to buy as many as I would like to have....
