    Workshop Tour

    Thanks GrayWolf! Yeah, the shop is only 10x12 and I believe for me it's about the perfect size. Sure it gets cramped sometimes (think split top Roubo workbench build) but I do love how it helps govern my tool obsession (ok maybe not the axes lol). If I had a larger shop it would be filled to the...

    Picking up where I left off in Hickory with the tool chest build

    I used milk paint on my Dutch Tool Chest too. I chose the same colors as Chris Schwarz, red base color with black topcoat. I love this chest!!! I work out of it every day and it houses my most frequently used tools perfectly. This chest has survived 2 years of expansion and contraction and the...

    My first official woodworking project. Whimsical rustic chair

    Workbench build with Roubo Straighteners

    Hi all, I just wanted to give an update on my workbench glue up. IT WORKED, ROUBO ROCKS!!! There is no twist, bow, or voids and the top is as straight as an arrow and with only some minor flattening and end trimming, it should be good to go. As you can see by my photo, it has be rigorously...

    Workbench build with Roubo Straighteners

    Hey John, I like to share what I learn with as many people as possible. As to the square holes, I used them for two reasons: 1) Roubo showed them as square and I figured they had a good reason for square holes back in the day and 2) I believe that round holes (sounds funny saying that) would...

    Workbench build with Roubo Straighteners

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! It is a wonderful book, you will not regret your purchase. This is an awesome and cheap solution, I do not think the clamp manufacturers what this secret out. ;) It does take some effort to make the square holes, but completely worth it as these boards are...

    6o deg Live Center Advice

    I'm in need of a 60 Deg. Live Center for my Jet Mini Lathe model JML -1014VSI with a #2 Morse Taper. Any suggestions on a high quality center to be used for light duty work, small bowls and smallish spindles on up to 3" in diameter? Price is a consideration, but quality is my #1 concern...

    New Fire Piston Project and some Mystery Wood

    Re: Channeling Bill Cosby.... Hi Henry, A Fire Piston is a very primitive fire starting tool that employs compressed air to ignite tender (like charcloth). I know it sounds impossible but it works and is a very cool thing to demonstrate. Here is the writeup I put on my facebook page...
