I made a similar desk in walnut. The width of the sides and back (at the back) was 8.5 inches. I used two shorter mortise and tenon joints rather than one long joint. They were also pinned. Good...

Count me in!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and used Drano Max Gel Clog Remover. It took two treatments and the entire bottle but it cleared the drain.
I've used both gloss and satin in that mixture for my SYP bench. It doesn't make alot of difference at the end of the day.
Zahid - I purchased the cutters from LN and made the tools from directions at this thread (http://lumberjocks.com/Jon3/blog/9948). The string inlay was for a huntboard and I was very satisfied with...
I use a Stanley 66 and cannot comment on the LV setup. However, for larger profiles I start with a shallower cut and gradually advance the depth. I've also found that scraping tools, even those...
John is correct about needing more than one store. It took me about 4 or 5 trips to Lowes to amass enough. I found the best material was in the 2x10s and 2x12s. There's usually enough that you can...
Early 5 1/2s take a 2 1/4" blade, so know what flavor you have before ordering the LV replacement. However, you can always use the LV in a 6 or 7.
I'm rehabbing a frog for an old 5 1/2 Stanley. The adjusting nut bolt is gone and I have a donor frog. How do I remove the adjusting nut bolt from the donor frog?
Note: No animals were harmed...
I got my oxalic acid (wood bleach) at the paint store. Its a dry powder that came in a one pint container.
Thanks guys. I'll post pics when I'm done (hopefully before Valentine's Day). I missed the Christmas deadline.
I'm making the Southern huntboard from a Carlyle Lynch plan in FWW #39. The walnut carcass is finished and I'm working on the drawers which have an applied cock bead and string inlay. I plan on...
The masking tape method that Roger mentioned works well. I've had better success with the blue painters tape - it doesn't tear so easily when you're pulling it off. If time permits, its best to let...
I prefer the Stanley #18 over the 9 1/2. The funky lever cap makes it easier to hold and perform better.
I would consider ripping a 2x10 in half. That gives you some wiggle room during the glue-up. 2x material around here is SYP and you can find some nice boards by picking thru the pile, while 2x4s...
Try this.

That's a great question Jim. A few months ago it cost me $4.90 to mail a FWW mag that I sold for $5.
While it does get warm here during the summer, that's no reason to stay inside. Stay in the shade and drink water and you'll be fine. Good things to see are:
1) The Congaree National Monument is a...
Get the book titled "The Unofficial Guide to Washington DC." It's worth its weight in gold. Many suggestions about planning and what different age groups find interesting. My sons were about the...
A day is about right for a 10 year old. We did CW twice with our sons. The blacksmith shop will keep him entertained for awhile and I think the gunsmith has been incorporated into the blacksmith's...
If you end up doing the totes, Lee Valley had some very detailed instructions and plans. However, I cannot find them at the site. Does anyone remember the link?
I made our kitchen table from heart of pine about 10 years ago and used the 1/3 BLO, 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 varnish formula. Kitchen tables get so much use (abuse) that I wanted something that was easy...
Sent you a PM
Stanley #18 with knuckle joint lever cap. Something about how you exert pressure on the lever cap let's this thing tame the wildest grain.
I'll second what Bob said. I work for the state health/environmental agency and we have a group tasked with water supply well issues. Virginia may have a well inspector that can take a look at your...
