I have a final exam this Friday and then I am DONE!
I can finally take a few days to dust off the tools and get busy. LOML suggested taking a few weeks off to just rest after hitting the books for 12 hours a day since Sept 1st. I like that idea :rolf:.
I've got a few projects on the...
After a brief hiatus, Jim (froglips) has rejoined the staff as part of the technical team. Jim will be doing Chad's work fixing Bas' mistakes helping with site maintenance and upgrades.
Welcome back Jim! :occasion1
After much deliberation and head scratching the Off-Topic Forum has been reinstated. When Steve Coles first started this site its goals/focus were primarily "where can I find locally" information and a buy-sell-trade with local woodworkers. At much urging from members the list of forums was...
I had made a few of these quite a while back, but now I cannot seem to find the patterns I made. The scratcher is about 18" long, rounded handle with a curve at the top end, other end scratching part is curved like a hand, fingers, knuckles....I am fairly sure it came out of one of the mags I...

Has anyone else seen this problem? I've tried it with the Home page list, New Posts list, and Forum list, and can't reproduce it.

Well, I am finally back in the shop after C5/C6 surgery.
Since I am on a roll with dumb shop items I thought I would pass this along.
Before being locked out of the shop back at the end of July I was working on two large vanities for the master bath. These are free standing vanities made...
At least in Greenville.
Stopped by Big Lots today and picked up 7 more Stanley/Baily Bessy clones. Four 48", two 60", and one 18". They had several 60" left.
Good luck.
After the craft show early this month I needed a short rest. In the meantime I took took a little time between plays on football games and during commercials working on this:
Again, everything done on the scrollsaw with some minor exceptions like the hood being done on the bandsaw. No, I...
Well here's what the chair looked like after shaping the rockers:
The 1st task was to mark what areas to avoid in shaping and to take the chair apart (this is like the 100th or so time it's come apart):tinysmile_tongue_t: Here's what the before leg looks like:
Then I marked the bottom around...

Ok, after being repressed for nearly 2 years the original Woodguy's disease has flared up. :)

When I was at my Mothers place I found some old Polaroids of things I made in the 70s. I was in my twenties at the time and had very little wood working experience and NO training. (much like now!!)
Anyway, looking back I think I did some pretty amazing work for a Bama redneck kid.
Sorry...
