  2. Farmhouse table of dyed construction lumber

    Per the trend these days, my wife requested I make a farmhouse table for our dining room. The table is made of framing 2×4s and 2×12s. All joints are hand cut mortise and tenons (never, ever again). There are also tongue and groove breadboards that were cut with the router. I had the entire top...
  3. 12 foot outdoor Redwood table

    This is a 12 foot by 48 inch Redwood table for a family of 7. The table has 6 legs and three breadboard ends, all done with pinned mortise and tenon joinery. Since the table is for outdoors, the top boards have gaps to allow for drainage. I used roofing nails for spacers. The table was so large...
  4. Toybox for my first niece

  5. Rainbow Poplar Coffee & End Table Set

    I started making this set about two months ago but it was one of those projects that got pushed aside and forgotten about because there was no hard deadline for it. It could be classified as Shaker style I suppose, but the idea behind it was to make it relatively simple and plain in design and...
  6. Focus on the Workspace
    I have limited room in my shop area, so I wanted to build a work bench that can hold a miter saw. I came across some cheap 3/4" plywood, so that is what I will frame it with. I used 2×4s to create a base. It will have 2 foot wide compartments underneath. Probably add shelves. Any suggestions...
  7. Joinery
    So my wife has decided she would like a farmhouse table for our dining room to replace the Canadel that we currently have. I know it is going to be a big step down in quality since this will be my first project, but in moving to a 1904 house recently the farmhouse style will be much more...

    Introduction At the beginning of August, with the discovery of mold in my kitchen, I began building new countertops. The wood for this work all came from my inlaws barnwood. After getting the countertops glued up, I was interupted by life (teaching, UPS, kids, divorce, and more). Where I...

    I am looking on Amazon for a spiral cutter-head to replace the one on the 8" jointer Powermatic I bought. I see basically two brands of spiral cutter heads. Which one do you prefer and why? I just found Sunhill cutter-heads, do you have any experience with them? Thanks. Bert
  14. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    A couple of months ago I did a forum topic on my splinter caused infected finger. Here is an update. Well, it's about two months later and the news is good. If you remember I had gotten a splinter in the side end digit of my index finger and didn't really deal with it after pulling it out. I...
