    Workbench update w/pics

    Here is the latest update on the workbench I started LAST March. The sapele top is about finished - just have to attach it and mount the vise. I glued up the wormy maple base and routered a chamfer on the edges and in the dog holes. I also need to build the storage boxes for the middle and...

    Rocking Chair #2 Complete w/pics

    Alrighty then, After my previous jigfest/what am I building post, most of you guessed correctly that all the jigs were in fact for a rocker. The rocker in question is a Hal Taylor plan rocker with some changes to both his front legs and his arms. The wood is Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) w/...

    Cherry Baby Cradle (w/pics)

    My nephew and his wife are having their first child soon and asked if I would make something for the baby's room. I always wanted to make a cradle so I made him this one out of Cherry. This is my first time working with Cherry and I enjoyed working with it since it was new to me and I was...

    Natural Edge Bubinga Coffee Table (w/pics)

    My wife saw a natural edge coffee table (walnut I think) in a magazine and asked me to build one for her. She asked about the time I had just finished my desktop and I had a what I thought was just about a useless piece of wood at the time because of its shape and because it was very warped...

    router table mortise Jig w/pics

    Well I spent today working on the mortise jig to go along with the tenon jig I built yesterday. I decided to build this jig for really quick setup. So it only does 1/4" in 3/4" stock and if I remove the face plate it will do 1/2" in 1 1/2" stock. Like the other jigs this uses a 1" bushing...

    Router box joint jig w/pics

    I've been meaning to built a box joint jig for some time. I don't have a table saw so I needed to make it for the router table. I wanted quick setup and the ability to make different sized keys. Guide bushings make it quick and easy to set up every time. I made multiple key plates to fit on top...

    Made a router tenoning jig w/pics

    We'll I finally got around to making a tenoning jig for my router table. I have a small shop and I don't have a table saw. I use my router table for most joints that I have to make. After the last shop crawl I saw the jig Joe uses and wanted to make something similar. Instead of using the...

    Sawyering last week w/pics

    This month was a sad month. We had to fell a struggling twin white oak that was in our front yard. The good news is that it will live on as lumber one day. Here is a picture of the stack of logs we had for the sawyer. This time I color coded the logs after I Anchorsealed them - White =...

    A little something *w/pics*

    It wasn't much but I actually did a wee bit of WW on and off over the last few days. A friend of LOML had two 2-drawer units from an old (Singer?) treadle sewing machine that she wanted joined together and turned into a small cabinet. She already had stripped the finish off both pieces so all...

    Auto-gate update *w/pics*

    I have been making slow progress on the autogates- a lot of distractions plus a bit of "two steps forward, one step backwards" - I was never one to avoid doing things twice:eusa_doh::eusa_doh: Anyway, while finishing up the pneumatics I realized I needed flow restrictors to slow down gate...

    Portable Cyclone High Dust Alarm *w/pics*

    I just finished building and testing a portable/add-on version of my Cyclone High Dust Alarm. I made this version for two reasons- I used a friend's Oneida for testing and he didn't want any modifications to his cyclone, and I am submitting it to some of the WW mags. While my own home unit has...

    Auto-blastgate, working prototype *w/pics*

    I was going to wait until I had a final version, but decided to go ahead and post pics of the prototype since it is close to a final design. I picked up some 110V solenoid pneumatic air valves off Ebay. Like most on Ebay they had been removed from some automated machine and came in a block...

    Tweaked the Beast **w/pics**

    It has been awhile since I replaced the table jackscrew dust boots on my 20" planer with the nice red motorcycle fork boots. After installing the boots I had to re-align the table. I quickly found everything on the planer was out of whack, including the four blades. The blades were a...

    I Wixied my beast! **w/pics**

    I finally got around to mounting a Wixey digital height gauge on my new (old) Delta RC-51 20" planer. The expanded 2:1 analog scale on the RC-51 is the best I have ever seen but I wanted the precision of the Wixey. Installation of this unit on a movable bed planer is not as straightforward...

    Custom kitchen w/Pics

    Hello everyone, after posting my shop tour, a few folks asked to see my work. This Kitchen was completed fall of last year. I enjoyed this one because it was for the homeowner that knew exactly what she wanted. The boxes were built from pre finished maple ply and the outside is all alder. If...

    New boots for the beast!! **w/pics**

    One of the few things needing attention on the beast (new old Delta 20" planer) were the four boots that keep dust off the table height leadscrews. The ones that came on the machine were shot- ripped/torn, and in need of replacement. Delta wanted $52 apiece!!! I looked at some automotive...

    The Beast has Ascended!!!! *w/pics*

    Today I used the hoist to lift the beast upright and onto its heavy duty casters. After picking up some heavy duty chain at Lowes, I hoisted the beast to my shop. Except for some failed lifts where the cable activated the limit stop early, hoisting went smoothly. Cable noise on drum was a...
