    Guitar speaker cab design

    I'm in the planning stages of building two 2 x 12 speaker cabinets. I could really use some help on figuring out the optimum interior volume. Each cab consists of one fully enclosed speaker and one open back speaker. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Another Shop DC design

    OK, I saw the previous thread and I'm working on the DC in my own shop. The room isn't large however the ceilings are up at 17 feet. As a result I don't really want to run things directly overhead. I'm thinking about running a shelf around the shop at about 7 feet and hang the ductwork...

    DC ductwork design

    What a PITA! Trying to figure out a good layout for DC ductwork in my shop. I have been using Grizzly's online workshop design program. It is not the greatest, but it is free. The thing is, I am getting no where fast. I have tried to find some software to help with the task, but have come up...

    thien design dust separator

    so i completed my first dust separator today using the Thien Baffle design I'd seen others make. I'm using my shop vac to power it and was amazed at how strong the vacuum is i.e. strong enough to begin crushing the 30 gal metal trash can. Has anyone needed to reinforce the can or is there just...

    Heartwood Pine table - trestle base design and fabrication

    In starting this project I had posed a few questions, both here and on WoodCentral. One question I asked was what type of wood I should use http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=35638 Another was the base design – specifically how the top of the trestle posts should be...

    Bench Design call for entries

    Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section as I'm still a newbie and don't see where I could easily place "call for artists" kind of things related to woodworking. But someone here may really be interested in flexing their creative muscles for this project: The Greensboro Downtown...

    Design question - trestle table base

    Short version: How would you attach the table top of a large table to 4 posts/legs inset from the corners in a trestle type design? Much longer version: I have a large table I am building. The top will be 10' long x 40" wide x 2" thick. Heartwood pine material - ready to glue up right now...

    Cutting Board Design Software

    I am making some cutting boards for presents this year and was searching for some tips, tricks, patterns on the web and found a cool piece of FREE software. :wsmile: It's been real handy in spec-ing out the patterns and gives you all the cuts and boards you need for both edge grain and end...

    Strange Table Design

    I'm curious about these. The thought was triggered by Larry Rose's recent post about "Scrubbed Pine" tables. It appears that these originated in Europe sometime in the mid-1800s as farmhouse kitchen work tables, but they could include "guest boards" at each end so they'd serve as a dining table...

    Book Review: The Workbench Design Book / Schwarz

    I ordered Christopher Schwarz's latest tome, The Workbench Design Book: The Art & Philosophy of Building Better Benches, and I just finished reading it a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd share. First off, I did something I rarely do with woodworking books. I read it from cover-to-cover...

    Anyone use Driving Dimensions add-on with Sketchup?

    I've completed a Sketchup design for multiple built-in pantry cabinets/shelves and now find I have to go back in and change my component dimensions from nominal to the actual thickness of plywood and melamine. I was looking the easiest way to do this and found an add-on "Driving Dimensions"...
