  1. Thoughts/order of ops making particular bed legs

    I have a two part question regarding a queen size, rift saw white oak bed design. I enjoy the look of these beds and would like to incorporate some elements of the photos below into my build.

  2. Approach to making these curves on head/footboards

    I'd like to make head/food boards similar to the photos below for an upcoming queen size bed bed frame (wife says it NEEDS to have a curved element:rolleyes:)

    What's the best way to make the...

    Was just reading into this for a few exterior white oak "door mats". A bit skeptical of its longevity, especially being in Texas. Did you go with a tint? Any photos?

    Follow up: Here's the route I went. I abandoned the pocketed arc idea and opted for a small finger pull bit. I did think to use my Domino for the slot on the arc but my overall results were...

    Slot bit is a great idea I hadn't considered.

    This morning a light bulb went off in my head and figured my Domino could get me some clean plunges so I gave it a shot. I used the 10mm bit and...

    Thanks, I gathered that much. It's more the bit selection that throws me off.

    Searching "finger pull bits" on Freud, Whiteside and Amazon for example, yields many results of varying sizes and...
  7. Approach/bit selection for routing recessed pull

    I’m needing to route (6) half oval, recessed pulls in 3/4” maple fronts and trying to figure the most efficient way to go about it. I did a two step trial run using a straight bit and bushing on the...
  8. Ideas on how to make a "drum"/cylinder table base?

    Looking for some ideas on how to construct a ~23-26" diameter drum table base (see photo) for a 48"D top made from 8/4 maple.


    Was thinking some sort of inner structure with 3/4" ply discs or...

    Thanks for all you suggestions. While I didn't get to top today, I managed to trim up a few base components which I feel satisfied with.

    For the curious- I took off 1/8-3/16" on the underside of...

    It's glued up so not going to change that. I could make the top a bit wider I suppose..

    I was thinking it'd be nice to thin the stretcher and center posts...just not sure on the best approach as the base is glued up.

    Here are some other photos with better lighting. It will live at a customers house. My shop is just too crammed to stage it at the moment :)

  13. Advice on slimming down the base of this walnut hall table build?

    The hall table I’m building came out a bit clunkier/boxier than I was hoping. Looks more farmhouse than the "minimal" look I was aiming for. Any magical ideas to make the base appear more delicate? ...
  14. Seeking opinions on finish for mid century dining chairs

    Our neighbors gave us a set of midcentury dining chairs that were in pretty rough condition. I disassembled them, sanded to bare wood, cleaned up epoxy/glue from previous attempts at patching, and...

    Lol. Ya, not looking for bomb proof. Simply needs to be enough to conduct "office work" and mobile capability via casters.

    I'm not familiar with HeadLok screws. What separates them from other...

    That's a good idea, though i'm afraid it'll be too distracting to the minimal look I'm aiming for.
  17. Thanks for your response. I did plan to slot out...

    Thanks for your response. I did plan to slot out to allow for movement as you mentioned. The top will be an edge grain glue up, bottom shelf will be face grain.

    Following the protocol you suggest,...

    It's for someone else. If I had to guess its normal desk work.

    Someone on another forum mentioned: "If the lower shelf is firmly attached it might be enough. If it’s just screws into the top...
  19. Should I be concerned with racking in this standing desk design?

    I’m building a 44” tall maple/steel standing desk with steel H frame legs (photo below) that measure out to be 39.25” tall and 24” wide. Legs are made out 1.5”x1.5” steel tube.
    The table top will be...

    Width is 27" Off the top of my head, I'm not entirely sure on length of the extension table. ~4ft +/-

    I've noticed the sag even with nothing on it. It's basically storage for tools I haven't put away. I'd like to utilize that space more efficiently.

    I'd love to see the sketch! I have the 52" but...
  22. How should I fix this table saw wing to add a router insert?

    I purchased this Sawstop off Nextdoor and the previous owner attempted to route out a space for a router insert but it was left unfinished with crooked lines, etc. Unusable.
    Is there a way to...

    I installed some heavy duty leg levelers that raise it ~1" to account for the uneven flooring.

    I still haven't decided how they'll be joined at the ends. I don't feel comfortable with...

    Thanks for your reply. That makes sense. I've used figure 8s attaching a few table tops.

    In addition to gluing the top edge, are you saying I should glue up the front (and sides) to create to a...
  25. How do you suggest I fasten maple to the frame of this bench for a seamless look?

    My initial thought is to countersink, glue, screw, and conceal screws with matching plugs. I’m afraid it won’t allow for proper wood movement though. I live in an area that doesn’t have wild seasonal...
