    NEW trick for me

    I learned something new today I thought I would pass on. While making electronics cover out of 3/16 thick maple for the bass I'm building I had to fit the cover to the odd shape rabbit I routed out. Kind of a triangle with a big radius on the long side and like 1" radius on the corners...

    Trick for better water based finish results

    It's more of a cheat really... I mentioned it in the Jatoba thread but figured I'd share separately as well. A little history first: I build drums out of my shop...err... garage...

    Green Poplar Trick

    Hey everyone, I’m putting together an entrainment center for my father-in-law and he wanted something that was inexpensive but looked good.

    Learned a new trick on the D4 today... [PICS!]

    Angled through-dovetails! 8-) I'm making a doll cradle for LOML Jr. This is a pretty cool technique, I think -- even if it does only have very limited application... :roll: For the curious, here's basically how it's done: First of all, you rout the pins first, instead of...
