I've "winged it" and built some nice things, e.g. house, cabinets, furniture, using the most basic of tools over the past 30 years. I have collected a few firsts (for me) such as a 6" jointer and lunchbox planer and hope to start bulding a new shop by the end of the year. The current shop is very tight at 16' X 24' and everything in the world has to be stored there. I hope to glean a few ideas about shop layout efficiency from you LJs out there. It has already been great fun just seeing the different ideas on making tools mobile, since very few have all the space they need! Look forward to interaction with and maybe even offering a little something to the LJ community.

Make your own - shop aids, tools, jigs #4: New 10" bandsaw

07-17-2019 10:40 PM by curliejones

I’m just finishing up a bathroom re-model that turned out to be much more work than I imagined. Keeping up with this six-acre homestead, gardens, and a forty-year-old house are about enough to keep me busy, but I still love woodworking and s...

01-26-2018 01:18 PM by curliejones

I recently bought a 3/4” pipe clamp at a thrift store that seemed very light considering it was 5 ft long and had Pony cast iron fittings. The pipe intrigued me and I found it to be non-magnetic with an i.d. of 0.87” , an o.d. of 1.04&...

Workbench build #3: Question about 21st century workbench.

11-25-2016 01:03 PM by curliejones

I’m building a version of this bench and having trouble finding info since it was a 2008 pub. Can anyone tell me how the boxes that serve as a toll well are supported? Is there simply a solid tool well that the boxes sit in? or, are there wi...
