    4-3/8" Craftsman Jointer Restoration & Shop-Made Cabinet

    I found this nice old 4-3/8" Craftsman Jointer, Model Number 103.23340 on craigslist. It was in very good condition, so there wasn't a lot to do to make it look and run like new again. The original finish was faded! I was unable to find a matching color, so I used some Internet tools to create...

    Hello All, it's been a long time since I have posted. I've completed a few projects lately, and attempted to create a new photo album in order to share my project. Problem is, a lot has changed with the user interface - I'm totally lost! The old interface was a challenge, but I managed to...

    The Deltona Workbench

    Hello everyone! It's been over a year and a half since I've posted anything on the forum - biggest reason is that we moved from the Oregon to Deltona, Florida last year - much closer to North Carolina! First order of business was to setup my workshop in our small 2-car garage. Part of this...

    My Profile - city and state location

    It's been a long time, but I remember having this problem a couple of times before! If memory serves me right, profile 'location' is an administrative change. Truth be know, we probably move to much! This time, we moved much closer to North Carolina. We know live in Lake Mary, Florida, 32746...

    Hello Everyone! On the surface, the title of this post doesn't appear be about woodworking, but trust me - this project was all about woodworking, and stopping to make some jigs along the way. Just so you will know, I posted this on Phil Thien's forum and that other form, but I wanted to be...

    ShopNotes plunge router Mortising Jig w/micor adjust table

    This is my version of the ShopNotes plunge router Mortising Jig. I was intrigued with the basic design but thought it would be much nicer with a micro-adjust table for precise setup. Credit for this idea goes to Pat Warner and his renowned router table micro-adjust fence. This project was...

    X-Y Drill Press table - shopmade.

    It's been a while since I've posted anything! After many years of use, it was time to refurbish my x-y drill press table. Over the years I've been tempted to upgrade to the more traditional tables made with aluminum tracks and commercial, hold-downs, but I didn't want to give up the table's...

    Share your knowledge - Minwax Polycrylic

    I know it's been a while since I've posted anything - thought I'd better get back to working in the shop. I am building cabinets for the shop, and have decided this would be a good time to try a quick-drying odorless finish. This thought occurred when LOML complained about the smell from the...
