Dennis,

The countersunk screw idea is fine. Instead of drilling them into edge of the plate, consider drilling them in the side of the opening. Two screws along the long axis and 2 in the short...

Ed, you must have inherited some of Henry Ford's money from the looks of all that ebony. Nice work !!

Hey ED,
"How ya doin' ?
Beautiful work, beautiful wood. Where did you find all those tiny .45's ?
Don't tell me you made them!

Well guys, after building jewelry boxes for most of the females in my family, the LOML decided it was her turn. She had specific requirements, such as, it must be mostly walnut, be long and narrow to...

Back in my formative years, when I was a scientist wannabe working in the Lockheed Research Lab, the old hands used to send newbies out to the machine shop for a bucket of propwash. DAMHIKT!!

Fantastic work Ed. The hickory and walnut is absolutely beautiful.

I'm always amazed at the speed at which you turn these things out. Here I am like a plodding old mule still working on the humidor inserts. Will finish the 4 small drawers this morning and expect to...

Another museum quality piece from the undisputed master of humidors!!
Excellent choice of wood combinations, craftsmanship and IMO; photography. I don't know why you think your photos should be much...

Maybe someone can enlighten me about the process if cremation. Would there ever be an occasion to access the ashes once placed in the urn? If not, why not just glue the top on and seal it for...

This valet is for my son- in- law. When I told the LOML in Sept., that I wanted to build Christmas gifts for our children, she said I should maybe start today if I expected to finish by Christmas....

Good looking "basic" model Ed. Glad to see you back in the shop. I surely know how economic issues can impact our shop time. I like your idea about the basic model with add-on options. It lets the...

Great start to what promises to be an unbelievably unique piece. I especially love the suspended shelf and brackets. Extraordinary design work: can't wait to see the completion photos. Jim Pritchett

Thanks Mark & Sarge,

Your suggestions have eased my mind. I would hate for this thing to unwind like a Slinky about the time my SIL loaded it up with a 10lb bass.
I would never hear the end of...

Mark,

The net I have in mind is in the Woodsmith Weekend Woodworking book and is quite similar to the 4th photo in your first post. Do you think Titebond III will have at least 10 minutes open...

I have both the HF pin nailer and brad nailer and they work like a charm.
Pay attention to the delivered air pressure so the pins don't blow through thin material. Ideal for pinning drawer sides and...

Mark,
I'm interested in making a landing net for my SIL for Christmas. I will be using 5-3/32'' strips by 6 feet long for the lamination and haven't decided on a glue that will give me enough open...

Wow, Bill. Excellent work as usual, even with never attempted marquetry.
What material did you use for the back of the lid and the bottom of the box? Jim

Sarge,
Another masterful piece from the undisputed master of "shoot from the hip" design work. Maybe we should start refering to you as the Master Sarge. Excellent proportion and balance. I am...

Creepy!! But excellent work.

First off let me say how much I appreciate the kind words about my projects. Since I have been on this forum I've noticed a core group of craftsmen who seem to appreciate what positive reinforcement...

I decided it was time to branch out from my simple walnut and maple boxes and try some different woods and techniques. My inspiration for this has been the fantastic works of Bill Wyko and Ed Salee,...

Brad,
Those double double box joints were cut using an Incra LS Positioner.

Sarge,
Actually my son is in negotiations with Troy University to provide after game meals for the football team.

Here is the latest in a series of Christmas gifts for my adult children. This one is for my youngest son who is the General Mgr. and Executive Chef at The Lodge of Troy in Alabama. It is a recipe box...

Matt,
I can't help with the ID of the blade, but I just had 2 Freud blades resharpened by a Freud authorized sharpening service in Dalton, Ga. I dropped them off @ Kentec/ Stone Mountain Power Tool...
