  1. Coasters made of wooden trim Rosettes

    My L/J friend Charles sent me a rather substantial pile of rosettes that he made for me in his mill work shop. I post this simple little project thinking that if you have some rosettes left over from previous projects that you might want to make some rosette coasters for you wife/significant...
  2. University of Michigan Coasters

    These are some University of Michigan "Block M" coasters that I made for a buddy as a housewarming gift. Both he and his wife are UofM grads. They are constructed in four pieces. The middle two pieces that make the "V" in the M were ripped to width on the table saw and then the angles were...
  3. Bubinga Coasters with Neodymium Magnets

    I bought a decently large piece of Bubinga wood for doing inlays in all my living room tables and I had some left over. I decided I might as well use it with some matching coasters. Each coaster has a 1/2" x 3/32" round neodymium magnet in the center. This causes the coasters to automatically...
  4. Cedar and Pine Coaster Set

    I picked up a pine log somewhere and had the idea to make coasters and a rustic holder for my dad's camper for Father's Day. Unfortunately, after cutting into the pine I realized it was no way dry enough to use the center for coasters but the outside edge was fine after a few days of drying...
  5. Coasters

    I made these coasters as Christmas gifts this year. The frames are 1/2" square walnut, there's a "blades width" dado in each of them to accept the bottoms, just very thin plywood. The inside pieces are either marble or slate that i had as samples from a vendor. I took each one and cut them...
  6. Checkered Coaster

    I made this coaster as an experiment adapted from David Marks' game board plan. It's 3/32" cherry and purpleheart on 3/8" birch plywood, framed in macassar ebony. The corners have black & white ebony splines. It was really an experiment that turned out better than I thought (little miters are...
  7. Coaster Set

    I saw some coasters posted by Blackie a while back, and decided to give it a try. See his here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/73991 http://lumberjocks.com/projects/74924 http://lumberjocks.com/projects/76062 I hadn't used my bandsaw for much besides resawing, so this project gave me an...
  8. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Hey fellow lj members?? I have a hickory bowl blank approx 9" diameter and 5" thick. The tree it came from was felled about one year ago. I just cut the blank out of a log that I saved for projects. I put anchor seal on both exposed faces immediatly after I cut it, and left the bark around the...
  9. Scrollsawing
    A bunch of years ago I picked up an old C type spring tension scroll saw, you know the ones from back in the 40s and 50s. Every now and then I'd pull it out and tinker with it but couldn't get it to work correctly. I kept breaking or bending blades. Well recently I saw Steve Ramsey on...
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Today I was finishing up the carcase of a base cabinet of a two piece china hutch. I decided to add a subtle detail, a lambs tongue, to the outside corners of the face frame. I grabbed the Dewalt 621 plunge router and chucked up a 45 degree chamfer bit, set the depth just right and began...
  11. Finishing
    Hello! I purchased a walnut dining table from an out-of-state woodworker. When he shipped the table to me, it was clear that he finished the table in a HURRY and did not allow for adequate drying time. He used some kind of Tung Oil finish, and it smelled absolutely awful when it arrived. It...

  13. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Winter is coming and I'm thinking about a ventless natural gas heater for my garage workshop. Does anyone have any experience with these heaters? Safe? Any problems with the fumes with 3 - 6 hour exposure? Natural gas vs. propane? Moisture buildup? Thanks!!
  14. Woodworking Skill Share
    I had some leftovers from a walnut and maple end grain cutting board, and realized I could make end grain coasters to match it. I have 4 little ~4"x4" striped square blocks, about 1/2" thick now. I'll be finishing the cutting board with butcher block oil, which will significantly yellow the...
  15. Finishing
    I have been making some wood coasters, some engraved, and need some advice regarding a finish. While they all are currently done with some rattle can clear gloss stuff from the local hardware store, they seem to all be ending up with issues after a bit of use (see pics)... Not all of them...
  16. Focus on the Workspace
    Yesterday, I posted about my mind going blank when I go out to my shop to work on projets, I took a few minutes and looked around first thing I needed to do was build a fire in my woodstove. It was like 34 degreez in it. As I was doing that in my mind it hit me my shop was a mess. I had books...

  19. Hand Tools
    I am rebuilding a Stanley 45 Handplane. I'm using two planes purchased from eBay. One was in good shape but was missing the fence. The second has the fence but the wood is bad shape and has been replaced by previous owner(s). I'd like to rebuild the wooden fence to an "original/stock"...
  20. Hand Tools
    Hello jocks! I have a question regarding the brand new, UK made Stanley 78 plane and the older vintage 78 planes that are prolific on eBay. Is there any real difference between the old and the new, besides the antique look? They sure look the same, but people are paying crazy prices for...
