  1. DIY Dust Collection (On the cheap)

    Got a new Porter Cable Table Saw and I have been making ALOT of sawdust. They way the it is built it forces all of the saw dust out of a dust port out of the back of the saw. Sawdust was getting over everything. Needed a cheap solution to capture the dust. I don't have enough money for a full on...

  3. My first wooden projects: kitchen upgrades

    I've only been woodworking for about a year and a half, but looking back, I've accomplished quite a bit!

    Biggest, deepest thing I have turned so far. diameter on the inside is about 5", outside is about 5.5". The depth of the bowl is also right around 5" deep. It is almost 9" tall. There are some rough spots on there, but I attribute it more to the poor quality wood than anything else; my tools...

  6. Mesquite Buckets

    I've been making buckets for about 30 years. I make other things too, but coopering is my favorite craft; blacksmithing is a close second. I started making mesquite buckets about 20 years ago, and haven't been able to stop. They're much harder to make than a pine bucket but the result is...

  8. The Bucket

    I recently picked up an edge trimming plane from Veritas and decided to use it to make a bucket. This first go at making one was going to be a simple as I could make it. It wouldn't have hoops nor did I expect it to hold water. Making the beveled side pieces was rather easy with the trimmer...

  13. Three of a kind.....cedar buckets

    Cedar Buckets x 3. A friend gave me a stack of cedar siding cut-offs a few months ago, so I decided to put them to good use. Earlier, I made one bucket, and now this set of three buckets used up nearly all of the rest of it. The buckets are each crafted in the same fashion….12 tapered...
  14. Wooden Bucket, Pine

    This is a 3 1/2 gal pine bucket with steel hoops and a hemp rope handle-doesn't get more basic than this. The design is ancient and I don't think anyone can claim it. This is a very versatile bucket; it's light weight, water tight, nice to look at, and you can put just about anything in it. My...
