After 3 years and 9 months I finally went into the shop. It's remarkable what time made me forget - I had to watch a dovetail video to get it back in my head what to do. And then there's the muscle...
John, that is WAY cool! The workmanship is great, and you really let your inner Rube Goldberg shine thru. Love it.

I use Lightroom as well, if the pics need some editing, and it works fine. But an even faster way for me is to email myself the pics from my phone, open them on the comp and do a screen grab with...
I have 3 push blocks that cover 95% of what I do at the TS. I have several other special ones for the router table and the joiner. I try to angle the block toward the fence whenever I can - it seems...
if the grid is metal perhaps gluing some magnets to the foam - or packing tape over them? - would do the trick.
Excellent work Glenn. I really like the subtle, soft curves you incorporated. Especially the small tails on the bottom of the side panels - a very playful little detail. Overall a great piece of work.
Thanks gents.
The joinery is all mortise and tenon, except for the attachment of the top which is by figure 8 clips. I routed out for the 8 clips a bit deeper than the clip so that the top was...
David: just hate to see something so cool go to waste. And I assume your comment is just that, a comment, not an ask. If I'm wrong, PM me.
Chris: PM me your address and I'll get it out after the...
You pay shipping - USPS flat rate box if it'll fit. Whatever that costs. Busted handle. One cutter. Needs some lovin.

Three years ago I was loking for another project to start, but wanted to stretch things a bit design wise. Looking at MacIntosh and Limbert furniture I was taken by their use of negative space – how...
Finished the miter box slides, with the cover to keep the sawdust etc from gumming up the works.

Even managed to get a wee out feed table included in the mix.

Now I can finally...
finished the router table base - in this small a shop everything has to be on wheels.

made some progress on the placement of the sander, small band saw and miter box bench, carefully...
I've used the XFasten Carpet tape for years with no problems. It's 2" wide rather than 2.5, and it's cheaper.
Beautiful work Ron - an heirloom piece for sure.
Finished the James Lee Burke series, and started on - finally - Raymond Chandler. Also squeezed in a few Dennis Lehane novels last month. Borrowed 83 books so far this year from the local library....
Mike - I'm in the same boat - looking for a decent supplier in northern IL or southern Wisc. I miss being able to run down to Cassens Lumber in Lafayette IN since I moved. If I find a place kinda...
Now that the end grain glue joint clouds have drifted off over the lake, a simple question, Derek: is that packing tape you used to align the miters? I tried packing tape once and it very slightly...
Display of the collar in the velvet box is a great idea. And the box ix beautiful. Did you use anything else for the finish besides the walrus oil?
got most of the clamps situated between the studs in the wall separating the shop from the house mechanicals, and half the base for the router table is glued up.

I don't know about the phoenix analogy, but I'll tell you this: being able to go into the shop, pick up the Bontz saw and get to work after 2 1/2 years of doing no woodworking at all is beyond...
Actually my wife came up with a great idea. I built a 2x4 wall the length of the shop to keep dust, etc from the house mechanicals, and she suggested putting a dowel between the studs and hanging the...
When I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 3 years ago in Indiana I had a male Dr who was a complete moron: indifferent, impatient and always seemed like me having cancer was an inconvenience for...
Cameron, I think the Boss would not look kindly on a wee-ette. And the videos of small shops all have something I don't - a decent budget.
I've found that the shop projects I can do are...
