Anuj, you are in for an interesting journey. Nearly 14 years ago, I posted here with pics of my first Neader tools buy. An old timer that many may remember, Harry Strasil responded to my post about...
Mike, thank you for posting this build. I am always encouraged, inspired and motivated by your craftsmanship. I have a question about the glue up and joinery of the top. Are the tenons a tight fit...
My initial thought was to encourage you to pass on this board, But the more I envision the end result the more I like the idea of using this board. I think the figure will be stunning and unusual and...
Pretty humbling to think about the work the work that goes into all of our tools and how connected we are to people, processes and technologies we don’t understand or appreciate, or even give a...
Fantastic lights. Well done!!! I’m
I appeciate how you featured the center grain pattern. I’m a sucker for this natural symmetry. A joy to behold.
I used dovetails to make the carcass of my tool cabinet. I used a French cleat to hang it. As others noted, kitchen cabinets are typically installed with pan head screws and carry 100’s of pounds...
I’ll take it if still available. pM sent
You might want to consider the batoning chisel for riving work: https://www.leevalley.com/en-gb/shop/tools/hand-tools/chisels/specialty/67735-batoning-chisel
You might check around for hardwood suppliers in your area. I’m fortunate to have a couple of local mills within 15-45 minutes of my house and another within two hour drive on a route that I...
Bought mine from an Antique store in Southwest Michigan 12 years ago, near an apple orchard close to Warren Dunes. The manual dates it at 1968. It was job site ready with this great carrying case....
I’ll take it
I like it too. you must do a better job than I do controlling dust, and where do you keep your chisels?
Someone is going to get a great bargain. If you were in my neighborhood, I’d be jumping in the truck.
Very nice Mike. Having grandkids in the 0-5 age range, I can see where this would be a welcome addition to both parents and grandparents. We've repurposed the storage in our entertainment center to...
Jay, I'm attaching my shop notes. Not exactly plans, but enough to get you started. I wanted to be able to break these down incase they need to be moved in the trunk of a car, so they are not glued.
My daughter saw something like this set online and asked me how hard it would be to build. I had quite a bit of cabinet grade maple plywood scraps from a closet system build I did last year. I think...
+1 to what Jim said. Great looking table.
How is your dust control? I’d only consider books in my shop if I kept them in a cabinet. Nice job on the shelf.
I make do with the bandsaw, but a Roubo-style frame (https://www.renaissancewoodworker.com/why-you-need-a-resaw-frame-saw/)
saw paired with a Kerfing plane (Search Tom Fidgen Kerfing Plane on You...
John, I’ll take it if still available.
Very cool boards here Steve. They are a joy to see. Much nicer than any cutting board I’ve done. So I do not feel qualified to provide feedback on the glue up questions, but your boards are...
Derek, I like the jig, and chopping over the bench seems essential. Now what I really want to know is, do you use the jig, or at your skill level, are you able to chop mortises square and trunjust as...
Primary bedroom remodel is on the drawing board. It will feature a 12x7 walk-in closet featuring six, 33”w x 22”d x 84h modules, with 3 drawers each. Solid maple drawer boxes, maple cabinet grade...
