Relatively new to the drum sander Have a supermax 19/38.. Burned one roll and as others have said it was loose and ended up overlapping. As Edward Weber stated I’ve also been buying bulk rolls from...

Nearest woodcraft and rockler are an hour and a half from me. There’s also an exotic woods lumber yard nearby, all within a mile and a half of one another. When I need a few things I hit up all three...

On these tops, I plane all the boards to the same thickness and cut them to the same widths. My table saw is a saw stop. I bought some dado inserts because they're solid in the front and don't dip...

I'm finding that out. I've been gifting some cutting boards to family and friends. Small boards maybe a foot square and three quarters thick. Couple of my cousins had boards that started splitting....

Gotta laugh, I never heard of the guy till a friend mentioned him, then my sister in law. Always liked geometric designs as a kid, but art wasn't my thing. JHS art teacher told my mom she should take...

Being how I'm a hack when it comes to woodworking, I will heed the advice given here when it comes to thickness. Might just take this one down a little more rather than mess with a backing. What I...

Thank you. Might try the epoxy next time, might simplify that part of the build. Appreciate your thoughts on the thickness. This one started out a 5/16". One piece bowed up in the middle, I might...

I don't have a problem with the titebond other than causing the wood to bow. I almost need three hands to glue it down. Having a flashback to some old comedy or cartoon where something keeps getting...

Been messing around with some 3D designs for small table tops. I did them in end grain because it's just easier to work with. I'm on my third top. First one was okay and I'll probably hang it on my...

Thank you Stupid things aren’t cheap, not looking to experiment

Just bought a phenolic dado lockdown insert for my saw stop. I’ll be using it with regular blades reason being the type of work I’m doing. The dado insert is solid all the way around and with the...

Thank you. I did find what I was looking for a few days ago. It was a pretty detailed pdf study iirc It discussed expansion in woods due to humidity and showed percentages of expansion as humidity...

I’m at peace with it. If the want to keep them as nick nacks so be it. When they start asking for channels for blood and grease I draw the line

Oddly enough I don’t even own a cutting board. I use...

I usually give them to the wives. Most threaten their husbands with bodily harm if they cut on them. I gave one of my mistakes to a redneck buddy of mine. He texted me when he got home. Tried cutting...

Thank you. Somewhere along the way I found my inner artist. Really enjoy woodworking. Spent. Sixty four years in an apartment not being able to do much. Trying to make up for lost time

It’s like going to the beach or a pool, don’t tiptoe, just dive in, less painful. Believe me I’ve made more than my share of mistakes. Some bone headed, others just laying out the pieces intuitively...

Probably what I'm going to do in the future. Usually the bulkier parts of the glue up sit for awhile. These I glued up before a road trip so they sat for over a month. The 1/4s kick my butt and after...

Been playing around with cutting boards. I don't need anymore furniture, but the boards keep me busy and I've been gifting them to family and closer friends. Last two boards I'm having some issues....

Thank you



If you say so. Honestly I just fell into this kind of stuff. I was looking in furniture stores and online to find stuff to copy. Was leaning towards some parquet style tables and...

Red oak boards, maybe homies, maybe lowes, plywood I got at lowes before the plague. It was 14 ply and the veneer was thicker than any of the other stuff I could find at the local lumber yards. It...

For whatever reason I like working with geometric figures. I needed a coffee table so after a lot of experimenting I decided on an elongated octagon.I really liked the octagon designs that I put...

Beautiful piece all around, but I must say I really love that base.

Thanks. No magic! :eek:

I started out with the triangular blocks I cut off from my platform bed. I laminated the plywood and oak for added thickness on the rails. I...

Biggest issues with my table projects I believe were the thin kerf blades on the miter saw and keeping the angles consistent, both the 45s and the perpendicular. I have a dealt 12 inch compound miter...

New guy here. Google keeps sending me here whenever I have problems, so I figured I'd sign up. Was a union carpenter in NYC for thirty years, installed office furniture, cubicles if you will. Retired...
