Do any of you know of anyone who offers resident classes, (such as those offered by Windsor chair builders), in building chairs like these?
My wife and I are ceramic artists. She throws pots, I make decorative tiles. We came up with the idea of mounting these tiles on a backer to create a triptych which could be mounted on the wall. This...
Keith,
It's a good bit more trouble, but I made a torsion box for my expansion table on the right of the saw, using the existing holes in the saw table to hold up one end, and the legs that came...

They sell vacuum gauges for under $10 that will tell you how much vacuum you are pulling.
I will check out these sources. I did not take photos, but if I am back there, I will take my camera. It is a remarkable chair!
At a flea market in Raleigh, I saw Adirondack chairs which swivel and rock. LOML thought they were so fine. I would love to build some if I just had a source for the hardware. Can anyone help?
I just had my Accuset 18 ga nailer rebuilt at my local FASTENAL store. They had to send it off to regional, but 7 days and it works like new.
Will Blick's check list is essential. I use an Incra 1000 SE and one of those digital angle gauges with the rare earth magnets to insure that I have a perfectly fitting frame when it is dry fitted.

We live back off the road on a private driveway with seven other houses. The street has a name, but is never on any maps. When we first moved out there, the Fedexground guy had no trouble finding...

Anyone have a set of plans for a wall hanging case for a dartboard? Maybe with a chalkboard to keep score and a place for storing the darts.
I went to the Marks workshop on patination in Knoxville. It was very interesting and valuable. I drove 6 hours from Southern Pines, NC to do it, this was as close as David has been in some years. I...

I was told by a master painter that he always used Bondo to fill nail holes and cracks before painting work which was to be outdoors. I tried a bit and have some questions.
What can you use to...
Dave,
Many of the Amish and Mennonite shops use a water wheel to power jack shaft which runs down the center of the shop. All tools run off of this shaft with individual belts. It would be just...
For cars the area around the speedway just north in Cabarrus county is populated by dozens of NASCAR shops. Almost all are open and you can just walk in and hang out with the guys.

We just built a new house in NC and installed a Rennai. It has been teriffic. Our builder will not build without putting one in. It will make hot water till your well runs dry. I could not recommend...
I have the Senco Accuset and love it. Solid action, good setting. It's still new, but several friends who have used it covet it.
Tim, we just built a new house, vinyl siding and Timber-Tec deck. We used treated 6x6 for corners, then had wrought iron railings made and powder coated to match the siding. We like it a lot, I could...
