  1. Jewelry Box

    Small jewelry box for niece's upcoming college graduation. Right out of one of Doug Stowe's books. Walnut and Yellowheart. There were challenges along the way, for my skill level, but I was happy with the end result. As usual, mounting the mortise hinges was the biggest challenge. I also...
  2. Router Bit Storage corrosion

    While this is not made of wood, it is for woodworking. I had made router bit storage of wood, or wood by-products. Today I discovered what a mistake that was. Corrosion! Storing router bits should not be made of material that is sensitive to moisture, or humidity. I had made mine of some...

    I have a cat that has been "hiding presents" for me all over my shop, it apparently likes the sawdust better than the kitty litter. I went out into my shop last night and found a present on top of the cast iron table of my brand new jointer! I cleaned it off as best I could but it has somehow...
  4. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    My Lie-Nielsen scrapers (about the only Lie-Nielsen thing I can afford) came wrapped in what I originally thought was just some heavy tan wrapping paper. I noticed recently, when I actually read what was on the paper, that it is some sort of treated paper that helps protect the scraper contained...

    Mornin' boys, I'm trying to get some advice on a project I'm finishing up on (photo). It's a stand for my father's electric smoker, which will sit on the lower portion. My question pertains to the upper portion that I'd like to hinge up as a lid. The problem is that this lid, when complete...

    Jointer plane brought back to life I opened the box containing my Veritas jointer plane and to my horror I found this: How on earth did this happen?!? First a little about my shop. It's a basement shop on a concrete slab. It has flooded in the past (sump pumps have since been replaced)...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    This may sound like a dumb question; if it is, it wouldn't be my first on LJ. I'm building a simple cabinet for storing my 10" TS blades. I plan to make pull-out slides w/ short vertical dowels to make sure the blades don't slide around. The slides will be 1/2" MDF, primed & painted w/ exterior...
  9. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Has anybody built glass frame and panel cabinet doors? The client, who is quite knowledgeable and an architect, suggested a rabbet along the back, inside parameter of the frames, with a depth equal to the thickness of the glass. Then an applied molding on the back that bridges the seem between...
  10. Hand Tools
    Hi fellow LJs, I have recently started down the road of acquiring hand tools, beginning with a Veritas LA block plane and a Stanley No. 4 and 5 which I have mostly finished rehabbing. I plan to add more items such as a hand saw or two and maybe a couple specialty planes - although I wont be...
