    Building a table of sorts, need a bit of advice

    This isn't exactly for the wood shop, but it may wind up in it. I'm looking to build a reloading table. It might as well be a work bench because what I envision will basically be one. I'd like to have a place to store my ammo cans (military style) so it will have to have storage for heavy stuff...

    Part 13 - Building the Bench

    Hi all, Seeing as the shortest day of the year is approaching, I thought we’d end the year with the shortest post of the Harpsichord Project (please ..... hold your applause). Eventually this pile of sticks may actually make a sound. Whenever that day comes, the player will surely...

    Harpsichord Project Part 9 - Building the Registers

    Hi all, What's a register? Take a look at this photo. The player presses down on the front end of the key (not shown). The rear end of the key rises. Sitting on the rear end of the key is the jack which, of course, also rises. It’s path is guided by the lower and upper registers...

    IN the not too far future I am planning on building an air drying station to dry out some yellow pine boards that will have been freshly milled. Would an air dried kiln or solar kiln work better? If the air dried method is ok, does anyone have any suggestions in regards to the amount of...

    Building a cyclone

    I finally uploaded my early, pre-NCWW, DC and cyclone building pics into an album (Homemade Cyclone). Actually, the pics show it can be done. If you really want to build one look at the Plans and Construction sections of Bill Pentz's website. I haven't order-sorted the pics yet.

    Out building

    I am in serious need of a shed or some type of out-building for my lawn and garden equipment and for storage space. I am leaning towards building it myself (when/if the money becomes available). If I do build it, is there a particular size that makes the best use of 4x8 plywood sheets? 16x16...

    Building Code Help

    I hired what I thought to be a reputable contractor to build a deck at our beach place. Long story short, it turns out I could do better work with an axe.

    Building kitchen cabinets

    Okay, I foolishly decided to save about $5000 and build my own kitchen cabinets. So far, so good, but the level of difficulty is only going to rise as I get closer to making about 50 rail and stile doors and drawer fronts. I've made them before, just not this many that will all be in one place...

I have a very level lot but I will need the basic grading. It will need to have two garage doors on the front of it so it could be used as a garage if I sale...
