    Last weekend I started 5 frames. The first three are now complete. The first 2 already posted. Broke my Delta Morticing machine last night. It's the second one I broke in the past 3 years. Broke off the indexing teeth at the base of the handle. The last two frames will need to be machined...
  2. Maple Burl Table

    This is the first time I've attempted a finish like this. For the most part, I'm really happy with it. Here's the process I used: The first step was to fill all the holes.

  3. Coffee tabe and end tables

    A coffee table and matching end tables I made for our new living room furniture. We were looking for new ones when we purchased the furniture but as any woodworker can attest, I couldn't spend money on the garbage the had for sale. The base and frame is made from walnut and the tops are made...

  9. Hand Tools
    I feel like a fool even posting this, but I might have ruined my Bed Rock 605. I have used Muriatic acid to clean files and such for a while, but now I may have made a mistake. This morning I was cleaning some files, and decided to throw in my Bed Rock Jack Plane body in to see if I could get...
