    Adhesive for Glass?

    We have a glass table with a segmented, I guess you'd call it that, glass pedestal/base. The short version is that the adhesive between 2 of the segments gave out while picking it up to move it. I'm looking for a way to "glue" the pedestal back together. It actually appears that it's not held...

    Someone wanted insulation for a cutting mat?

    Since there was a recent post inquiring about foam insulation to be used as a cutting surface I wonder if this would work ok or if styrofoam would be too brittle. The price certainly makes it look worth a try! https://raleigh.craigslist.org/mat/d/styrofoam-for-sale/6495115240.html STYROFOAM...

    How to protect card stock attached to wood?

    Well, as the title says, I've been asked to attach a piece of card stock, i.e. wedding invitation, to a piece of wood and to protect it somehow.... I thought about trying my luck with decoupage, but I'm not so sure that'll work on this venture as it seems to involve covering the whole piece...

    New CNC player in town?

    Just saw this on CL and it seems to be a fairly new product. I know nothing about CNC's, but have seen that there are several folks on the site that have them, are building them, or may be looking to buy them. No affiliation with these guys and no experience with their products. Just thought...

    Anchors away

    LOML and I made this turntable back during the summer, during our vacation out of state of all times, for her mom's beach house. I had cut and prepped the discs before we left, and tried to mark the layout for the lazy susan bearing, but had to trudge along any tools I thought I'd need as well...

    Recent small project for a wedding

    LOML and I made this for a family members wedding a few weeks ago. It's made from Cedar with Purple Heart trim, acrylic paints, wood burned designs, and GF WB poly for a top coat. This pic with a lot of glare shows the sparkles in the paint that you can see in person. Thanks for looking. B.

    A couple of new, to me, planes

    I picked these up a while back and am way behind on posting pics of them since I've had too much other stuff going on.

    Can a laser do this?

    I've got a mail box shingle that I'd like to put our name on and am wondering what options are available other than painting and adhesive letters. Could a laser "etch" the letters into both sides of this piece of steel? Anyone in the Raleighwood area have a laser capable of doing it? What...
