Thank you, David. I actually called Bear Creek a couple times. The guy told me he could source some, but I could never get him to call me back. Same story with a couple mills/wholesalers. I ended...

Thank you for the tips guys. I talked to another wholesaler in Oregon yesterday, and his response was basically, "good luck". He said it used to be used for bleacher benches! What a waste.

Anyone know where I might be able to source some clear vertical grain Port Orford Cedar? I've tried calling half dozen or so mills in the NW and nobody seems to have any, or I can't get them to...

Thanks for the insight guys. I appreciate it.

After experiencing Japanese bathing culture, I'm set on having a traditional Japanese Bath. Of course, I need to build it myself!

I'm hoping someone here has some knowledge or insight on...

Thank you gentlemen.

- The boxes are 7/8", the backs are 1/2"
- Each box is discreet, so you're basically building 6 boxes then stacking them on top of each other. They are screwed together...

I loved the idea that this bookcase is derived from Jefferson's actual notes. Built essentially from PW #190 June 2011, but modified depth dimensions slightly so that the dovetails would align....

Hi Keith,

I did try and use the dovetail count and spacing that is visible on some originals. It makes the half pins very delicate though.

I too was worried about the pendulum length. You...

Here's an original dial and my reproduction.

I'm embarrassed to write that I haven't posted here since 2009. You all know the story. Moved across the country, quit my job, started a business with my wife, worked crazy hours while raising our...

My 1617 is still going strong. I haven't purchased another DeWalt router.

Looks awesome! Congratulations on the crib and your son.

I've been using my maple and walnut end grain board for more than four years now just about every day. It can sometimes develop a wicked arch...like 3/8". It just depends on how dry the air is, and...

Sandpaper, you can use something very coarse. I've also found that hitting them with a deadblow hammer is much more effective than hitting them with a metal hammer or wooden mallet.

Hey Alan,

I haven't built this clock, but I have built a tall case clock. I wouldn't worry too much about the exact movement. Pick out a Kieninger movement that looks close: 2 weights, cable...

I made a DIY wagon vise, shamelessly copied from Jameel's design. There's some pictures in my old bench thread:

I have the Grizzly head in my G0656 and a Byrd cutter head in my planer. I can't tell the difference in the cut between the two. I have yet to rotate the cutters, or do any maintenance on either of...

Fantastic looking clock. Quite an accomplishment. Congratulations on a beautiful piece of furniture.

Hi Harold. I like Constantine's paste wood filler. It needs to be thinned with mineral spirits to the consistency of heavy cream. It works well and I can usually fill pores in one application,...

Hey Walt. Unfortunately, woodworking's going to be on the back burner for a while. My wife and I are starting a small business. Hopefully, I'll find some time, but I suspect it'll be a while...

Wow. Those are beautiful. The grain is just stunning. Nice work.

1) Thank you!

2) About half way through this project I had that thought. What's next year? Curly maple bonnet top highboy? Seymour buffet? Gah! Where does it end?

Richard Wolf and Mike Spanbauer turned spindles for me. I really appreciate how difficult those things are to make now. Thanks again guys!

Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen.

Don, I didn't have any trouble getting the movement going. I did have trouble _getting_ the movement, but that's another story. If anyone is interested...

Hi David, yes I made all the moldings. It seems like I spent half my time making moldings!
