  1. Pen Display Case

    I made this Display/ Sales case to go in our shops showroom. It is brazilian Cherry with zebra wood in-laid miter locks and hand cut through dovetails. The grooved pen holder is red oak. It's about 4×24x10" with a lock that I had to customize to fit the door and a glass front. The light is just...
  2. Trivets

    I was gathering up some of the smaller pieces of wood to make room for some wood I just purchased when I remembered I need to go ahead and get started making up some of these. These decorative trivets are one of the most requested items for Christmas I have ever made. People like to get them...
  3. Poker Case Box

    Last year, I posted a request for a wooden Poker Case Box for my non-profit organization's upcoming Poker Tournament (fundraiser-April 2015). Tim Haenisch (Command Performance Wood Design), designed, and, built this for the event. It's quite beautiful, made out of California Oak. It has room...
  4. First Plane Project, inspired by Mafe!

    This is the first plane I have attempted. I got inspiration from Mafe, and his wonderful work. I had an old and dry piece of oak batten in the store doing nothing, so I thought I would try this. I rushed it, so it is a bit rough around the edges, and elsewhere! I didn't spend enough time...
  5. Cherry Pig Cutting Board/Serving Board

    This is a project I cranked-out yesterday. We were going over to friends' house for dinner, and they were serving 24-hour roasted pork shoulder, so I thought this would be an appropriate gift to bring along. I free-handed the image onto the cherry, then cut it out on the bandsaw, sanded it...
  6. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi all, I am new to LJ and I am amazed at the collective wealth of knowledge and experience here. I have been woodworking for just over a year and I am in the market for a good dovetail jig. Money is an issue, otherwise I would jump straight to the Leigh, so I am considering the Porter Cable...
  7. Joinery
    hello all, im a newbie here and thought i'd ask a silly question. here goes. I'm using the perennial porter cable 4216 dovetail jig and I'm having mixed results. some i can figure out and some i can't. here's one i can't. after cutting a joint in some panels for a project, i realized there was...
  8. Jigs & Fixtures
    I was reading the supplementary instruction manual for the Porter Cable 4200 series dovetail jig, and apparently you can use different bits. The jig comes with a 13/32" 7 degree bit, that produces a 3/8" depth of cut. This bit works well and makes strong, tight fitting dovetails. However the...
  9. Jigs & Fixtures
    I have long wanted to get deeper dovetails and a 14 degree angle with my PC 4210 jig. The bit that comes in the kit is 7 degrees, with a 3/8" depth of cut. The standard dovetails have such a shallow angle they almost look like box joints. After consulting the manual, I learned that when...
  10. Jigs & Fixtures
    I purchased a Porter Cable 4212 Dovetail jig for making drawers. the half blind template produced a flawless joint. The thru dovetail template however produced a joint where the front of the drawer was misaligned with the side by roughly 3/64". This may be acceptable, but for a machinist...
