    A new workbench for my granddaughter

    I have just finished a workbench for my granddaughter. She is 5 years old and when she comes to visit she likes to work in my shop. I used an old piece of commercial Maple countertop which I resurfaced with hand planes for the work surface because she likes to draw and paint and loves to have...

    New Planer Head

    I have just finished upgrading my 50 year-old Delta wedge bed planer, which I bought new, to a Byrd cutter head. Several years ago I replaced the head on my DJ-20 8“ jointer with a Shelix head largely because of the encouragement from this group of woodworkers. I have been so pleased with it...

    Christmas Gloat

    I bought this lathe from Al LeCoff in 1981 and turned on it for 20 years. When I had to move my shop I didn't have a place for it so I put it in a barn and stored it for several years. This Christmas I received a VFD to drive a 2 hp 3 phase motor I had taken off another machine I had bought...
