We have pets and with pets comes pet dander and allergies. We bought a Grizzly G0738 two stage (5um & 1um) filter.
Grizzly G0738 two stage, three speed air filter w/ remote.
It really makes a difference but it’s not the most attractive box in the bedroom. It’s been sitting on a faux walnut MDF stand that’s falling apart. I decided, and SWMBO agreed, that something better was needed.
Completed top is gorgeous!
I came up with a design for a real walnut (& ...

I need to make a TV stand that also houses your usual TV related gear. I started with a simple layout:
There are no shelves as I am going to put glass shelves in.
I had a pile of locally sawed cherry that I have been sitting on for years. It was not enough for a kitchen or a dinning set, but it would work for this. I love local wood. Full of character, flaws that you can build on and a natural sense to the wood.
It cleaned up nice:
I milled out rail and stile blank...

Chose the best 5/4 stock for the top. 18” wide. Left over 8/4 was resawed (previous post) and used to make side panels and bottom shelf. These were glued up.
Of course, there was a ton of hand planing. Flatten show side. Marking gauge to max dimension that will clean up the opposite face and plane.
The top was cut to length with a miter saw guided by a Veritas magnetic guide. I make sure the tool is square using a 12” square.
I did find some cracks in my...

This installment is taking an inexpensive handsaw and turning it into a panel saw.
I have wanted a Lie-Nielsen panel saw for some time (actually a pair of them in rip and cross cut configurations) to live in my non-existent tool chest that I hope to someday build. They are beautiful, and like all of Lie-Nielsen’s products, they are very well made and reasonable for the precision and warranty they offer. I have no reservations buying a quality tool like LN, I just dont have the money...

I call any taper that cannot be accurately cut on the table saw a micro taper. Usually anything under 1 degree. The taper I needed to cut was 0.2 degrees, so the only tool for the job was the jointer. The process was pretty simple. I needed to taper 1/16” over an 18-inch length. I made a 1/16” spacer and raised my jointer to a 1/16” cut. I placed one end of the panel on the spacer and ran the panel through the jointer. As the front edge of the panel hits the knives, t...

Hey! I figured out how to embed videos. Yay!
Next step is to create the panels that will fit in the tongue and groove joinery of the frame. I chose 1/2” red oak plywood. That way I would have a 1/4” reveal on the outside and the panels would be flush with the frame on the inside.Some of the techniques I practiced in this session are the following:Cross-cutting veneer plywood with minimal tear-outSetting up a dado blade for cutting rabbetsPreparation of panel stock for stainin...

Hello all, I had a couple of peeps interested in seeing the process shots of the Cocobolo and Leopardwood table with drawer that I posted, so I thought I’ll blog it here split into a few parts so nobody has to scroll through it all in one go… You can see the finished project here.
I don’t have a shot of the small Cocobolo board I was given that inspired this table before I started cutting it up but it was a couple of board feet. There was a lovely rich heartwood section d...

In the summer 1978 issue of FWW, Tage Frid wrote about tool cabinets.“Why bother making a tool cabinet when a crate with shelves nailed in would hold the tools? I believe if a person wants to make a living as a woodworker and furniture designer, a well-designed and executed tool cabinet is very important. It’s a pleasure to have a beautiful tool cabinet, where the tools are properly arranged and easy to find. And when a potential customer comes into the shop and sees a nice cabinet, half the ...

Hi everyone, hope all is well. I took a picture of the drawer in the saw till as I forgot to yesterday.
When we last left our caped crusader he had just assembled a square to become a tool cabinet. Well today I made a panel to become the back. I thought about doing ship lap for the back, but my board wasn’t wide enough. It was all I could do to resaw the 12 1/4” wide curly maple board into three plates 1/4” thick.
So I came up with a split panel frame inste...
