There is good news...
At the current rate Congress will almost eliminate Standard sometime in the next century. Their solution will be to Fall Back on the second Sunday in January and Spring...

Malcolm,
When I saw the photo of the bike I immediately thought, "That isn't St. Thomas!"
There are a lot of roads near us that would make for a great ride, but I gave up motorcycles about 45...

Roger,

Check out EazyDraw by Dekorra Optics. I used MacDraw and the Claris/Appleworks programs for years and have drawn everything from woodworking projects to floor plans (good floor plan tools)...

Malcolm,

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the updates. Speaking of updates, any on the boat?

Mike

Thank you for the build. Can't wait to see pictures of the final products. Make sure you immediately take photos as I'm confident the 2nd one will be sold quickly.

Wayne

John and Glen,

Thanks for the suggestions. We tried MS to no avail. My neighbor is going to try determining the finish (lacquer, poly/varnish or water-based) before taking any other steps. He...

John,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to give it a try. My neighbor thinks it was built in China about 10-12 years ago.

A neighbor set his knee brace that he had sprayed with Frebreze on his dining room table for a few hours. I think the alcohol or some of the other ingredients in Febreze reacted with the finish...

Science is just a possible explanation of what your gut knows.

Bill,

I think this drawing might help explain the forces at work. In Triangle A most of the resultant force is applied at the top of the tenon due to the larger tensional forces. In Triangle B,...

Every summer our community sponsors Youth Fest for the resident's kids and grandkids. It is a week of hiking, golf, tennis, swimming, pinewood derby, crafts, and woodworking. Our woodworking club...

Robert,

I used 12 - 20w 24" bulbs, so I hope they have enough power to keep the exposure times fairly short.

John,

Thanks for the offer. I sent you a PM.

I just finished building a Contact Printing Frame and UV Light Box for my daughter who is a professional photographer. She has had an interest in alternative photographic processes since college and...

Gerald,

I've got to finish the vanity (2 drawers to go - the dovetails are getting acceptable) for our bathroom, build the closet system, and finish the wood trim on on the sailboat (its only 14'...

Mike,

I'm really glad this thread popped back up as I missed the original. Thanks for documenting the great build. I hope to start a tool chest based upon my Great-grandfather's (early 1900s),...

Aaron,

You might want to look at EazyDraw. It works well for 2D and is fairly easy to learn. I use it for floor plans and woodworking project design. As mentioned in other posts, a 3D view...

Jim,

Thanks, forgot that my computer would do that.

Shannon,

First thought when I saw the post was, "Wow, a NASCAR plane would be cool." Then I realized it would only turn left!

Wayne

Brian,

I noticed on your blog photos that there were shavings on the carpet. I was appalled, but will assume your iRobot vac was taking a break. I don't show photos of your shop to the LOML as...

Dave,

I made a 42" x 66" "Farm Table" last year from sinker cypress with an 18" extension that brings it to 84". Seats 8 with the extension. I had space constraints or would have made it 46"...

Shannon,

You may want to research the history of logging in the area as you may get an idea of how long it was in the creek and if the mill ran mainly cypress, loblolly, or long leaf. I built a...

I should have been more specific on my process...
1st coat - Mixture 40% Pure Tung Oil & 60% Mineral Spirits - Wipe on, wait 10 minutes, wipe off
2nd coat - Mixture 45% Pure Tung Oil, 45% Mineral...

I'm finishing a sinker cypress dining table and after 4 coats of a 100% Tung Oil (40%), Mineral Spirit (40%), Glossy Spar Varnish (20%) blend my wife has decided it is too glossy. Can I just mix a...

The miter box has "new" guide posts thanks to the generosity of an "anonymous" member of Sawmill Creek. He asked only that I make a donation to Sawmill Creek. We agreed that I would also pay for...
