I think I would wedge the crack apart carefully, work some glue into it and clamp it tight. I bet it almost disappears.

Luke, mine is just cut square and slides in and out with ease. I suspect it’s just that your vise is “crude”? Don’t mean this as any sort of criticism, just that a properly made and aligned...

My favorite store bought Oatmeal raisin cookie is Archway. But I will check out the Walmart ones next time I’m there. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks, John. Appreciate that input.

I would default to John and Jim who have much more experience, but if you go with an oil based finish, one reason I would consider spraying a first coat of shellac is to minimize a potential blotchy...

As I look through various woodworking plans, I notice a lot the use of small fractional dimensions. Often calling for pieces in the 16th and 32nds. Is this done just to challenge my eyesight, or...

Thank you Ron. You post plenty to drool over yourself!

Mike, couldn’t agree more. I originally planned for a mechanical works, but long story short, ended up with a quartz movement. I’ve found...

Beautiful work as usual, Ron. Your website indicates no saws for sale, so it’s good to know they all have a happy new owner. Enjoy the summer!

Mike, I have to say, I love that. Reminds me of something you might see in an old European church. Great finish on the walnut (did you start with Watco medium or dark walnut, by chance?).

You...

Mike, sounds like a wonderful piece. Please share it when you can. Look forward to seeing it.

I challenge anyone to find any post where this community said “you NEED” a certain brand tool to accomplish a particular task. The vast majority of SMC members and contributors just provide what...

Just to follow up, I’m happy to say the beast is alive and well. Wanted to keep the character of the thing, so just a good scrubbing and some time removing the famous white, green, and red paint...

Mike, for further reference, I searched through a few of my books on period furniture. The vast majority of pieces have drawers and doors flush with the face frame, often offset with cock beading. ...

LOL, Mel! I may not have been clear though, the quartz movement does swing the pendulum, but the pendulum does not drive the time. So I can keep the rocking chair untethered for now!

Thank you all!

The inexpensive quartz movement keeps remarkably good time, but the pendulum is only for show. It will keep time whether the pendulum is moving or not.

Finally put the finishing touches on this clock. A few hand drawn plans, a lot of stops, starts, and procrastination. Designing a bit on the fly resulted in quite a few redos and unforeseen needed...

Great looking stand, Jim. Nice work. Good looking aquarium as well.

I’ve used it and like it, but as Jim said, not particularly protective. You may also want to look into General Finishes wood bowl finish. I’ve used that on multiple wooden kitchen spoons and it’s...

Hello Mike, another great piece. Enjoyed the build thread. The veneer work, carving and moldings really sets it apart. That walnut burl (or most burls for that matter), can be a bugger, huh?!. I...

I believe Glenn Bradley posted recently in a build thread using a regular pencil, then go over it with the white art pencil. The pencil lead shows up well through the white. Works for me.

Nicely done, John. The contrasting wood works well. Looks great now, but when that cherry darkens I think it will be stunning.

Merchant credit card fees are typically 1 1/2% for most cards and up to 3% or so for AMEX. While not a huge deal, 20 cents a gallon for using a credit card (which is what it is around me in...

Thanks for sharing, Glenn. All the makings of a beautiful piece. The white pencil over the graphite is a great tip!

Mark, found this looking around. I ordered one. If anyone is interested, I’ll let you know what I think when it arrives.

Cool tool, Mark. Who makes that? You know I just have to have one!
