  5. Portfolio Album

    I have been wanting to make a portfolio to display some of my previous work. We got this piece of rosewood from a garage sale just 'thrown in' with a larger purchase and I thought it would make the perfect album cover. I LOVE how it came out. The album is made to fit standard 8×8 scrapbooking...

  8. Mother's Day Parquet Till Box

    I built this box (finished just in time!) based on an article in FWW (though that article needs some work! There are dozens of pitfalls that were not mentioned in the article, the biggest of which some major binding steps being off). Regardless, I modified the dimensions and sizes of everything...

    I'm ripping some 1 1/4" red oak (1×4) on a Powermatic 64a with a new expensive blade made for the purpose. (LM74R010 10-Inch 30 Tooth TCG Glue Line Ripping Saw). This is not a thin kerf blade. My blade is aligned with the miter slot. My fence is aligned with the miter slot, just slightly out...
  10. Jigs & Fixtures
    Hi everyone! I'm working on a jig build with a wood slide (3/4 ply) and use graphite lubricant since its dry. While this works very well, when the jig is under load with the slide fully extended, it tends to bind. I need a more heavy duty lubricant, so I was wondering if bearing grease would...
  11. Jigs & Fixtures
    Hey Guys, first off, this is kind of a long read (sorry for that) but i wanted to put in all of the detail to avoid suggestions of things i have already tried. I have a new sawstop PCS 3HP 52" table saw which is replacing my Bosch jobsite saw. Big upgrade for me. I was pretty excited. I have...

    An introduction Since I already blog at my own domain I did not want to duplicate all of that content here at LumberJocks each time that I made a post. So, I asked Martin if it was appropriate for me to have blog entries here at LumberJocks that link to my own blog. The answer was a...

    Fretboard slotting, binding laminator, shooting board I've recently started working on a couple (three, actually) new banjos. At the moment, they consist solely of mostly-complete fretboards. I'll get some more pictures of the fretboards as they develop, but for the moment here are a couple of...

    Two fingerboards getting bound Recently, I decided to start building three new banjos. It's been a while (years?) since the last time I built an instrument… I've had so many ideas run through my head in that time! These three instruments will share a common scale length (24.75"), and in terms...

    The soundboard and rosette. Time, just now, doesn't allow many words to describe this process. It's my first attempt an an acoustic guitar. I hope I have taken enough photographs to tell the story. Other than the spruce soundboard, much of the instrument is made from bits and pieces from the...

    Taking Inventory Long, long ago I used to make guitars. Forty years later I'm thinking, can I still to it? I break out the stuff I put into storage in my early twenties and see what I still have to work with getting ready for a winter pandemic, "one more guitar", build. This video is the story...
  20. Wood & Lumber
    I bought a bunch of yellow pine to build a Holtzapffel bench. I stickered it and left it for two months. About 2/3 of the wood I can rip, but about a third of it closes up so fast I can't finish the rip. I wrote about it in my shop blog here if you want more details and pictures. But to be...
