    This is my second successful turning. This one is made from a single piece of maple. I am making these for my wife's Etsy Online Shop, Rumplestiltskeins.
  3. Practical Woodworking 101

    In an effort to live within my means, I try to keep things working instead of throwing things out and buying new items. The handles on our Crock Pot were made of plastic, and with use, they had cracked and could no longer be used. The appliance itself worked fine, but the handles were shot. My...
  4. Sweet Sixteen Guitar Cabinet

    Guitar speaker cabinet based on the old 'Sweet Sixteen' theory. 16 4" woofers in a 24"x24" OD slot ported box tuned to roughly 40hz. I really made this to go with the Cigar Box Bass 2 stringer I made a couple of weeks ago. All 3/4" plywood construction. Jet Black speaker cabinet carpet covering...
  5. Pool Table

    My wife asked for a table to put by the pool between two lounge chairs. I was cleaning out some boxes in the shop last weekend and found some left over tile from when our pool was built last year. I had some leftover red oak from building an assembly table. I put two and two together and...
  6. Pecan Hope Chest

    Well here is the last installment of my trilogy to the Pecan Box Joint Cases… I think I have it out of my system now… But we'll just have to give it time to be sure! This is the last of my Pecan from my pile so now I am off to find something new. This wood lent itself so well to the box joint...
  7. log benches

    While visiting family back in Australia last week I cut down a dead standing gum tree for my mum and turning it all into fire wood was getting too me. I put the little 14" Stihl rental saw through hell but came out with these 2 benches. This was my first attempt at free hand milling and it shows.
  8. New Closet For Mom

    This is a new closet I made for my mother, she has been wanting a new one for a while now because the one the contractor who built the house made was less than functional… unfortunately when I was half way done ripping that one out I realized I didn't take a "before" shot, oops. Basically it was...
  9. a custom pool table from reclaimed lumber

    well, we're on a roll this year with the pool tables. this is our third one in the last four months. at one point in november, we actually had two in the shop at the same time. (fourth photo). our son will, (the banjo maker), pretty much built and installed this one on his own. i helped carry...
  10. First Goblet

    This was my first goblet ever turned. I had a piece of maple given to me that just looked like a piece of firewood, split from a big log. I figured it was maple so it would be hard and turn and finish well, and be strong. I was thrilled when I began to turn it and saw all the spalting inside...
  11. Small Stereo Component Cabinet

    Our daughter recently moved into her own apartment. I mounted a flat screen TV above the fireplace and she had no place to put the cable box and dvd player. I decided to make something for her. I thought it would be a nice surprise. When she saw it, she was clearly not happy because "it does...
  12. End Grain patterned box

    So about a year ago I bought this mixed box of exotic woods from rockler. After it sat under my workbench for about a year I finally decided to do something with it. I took all of the wood and squared up all of the edges. I went to work putting it all together like a puzzle and ended up with a...
  13. A frame from pine for a custom print

    A frame from pine, assembled with pocket-hole joinery on the back, scalloped edges and black dye.
  14. USMC Force Recon Wall Plaque

    My niece found a USMC Force Recon wall plaque and wanted to buy it for her dad, a former force recon marine, to put in his car shop. The plaque is $90 and is 13 inched across. I told her that 13 inches is too small for his shop and the plague does not have all the correct items/words that his...
  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Once again I am impressed with Lee Valley. I purchased 7 pairs of 18 inch full extension slides for the never ending bathroom renovation I am currently enduring and just today finally had a chance to start setting the drawer slides in…. and they were toooooo long. Apparently Jen's idiot...
  16. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    OK, just wanted to thank The Wood Turners Catalog (Some know them by Craft Supplies USA). Yesterday, 12/29, I placed an order for some supplies. Today I received an email with a 1 day promotion discount of 15% for all orders placed today (12/30). So I called up customer service with a simple...
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi all! Long time reader and first time poster here. I've been having some issues with my new Grizzly 8" jointer, model G0490XW. There were a few minor issues that I called Grizzly on right off the bat (forklift dented and scraped the base, set screws missing from bushings, cracked bushing), but...
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I am once again impressed with the quality of customer service at Rockler. I ordered a set of three plug cutters online. When the order arrived, I was glad to see that the cutters were made in Montana by a company called Montana Brands. I went to the Montana Brands web site to see what other...
  19. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I've read that a few years ago perhaps the biggest hit on Triton routers was their customer service in the US . It appeared that Triton was well aware of the problem in the US. I'm wondering if they have managed to improve yet. Does anyone have any recent real world experience with needing...
  20. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    About a year and a half ago I bought a new Dewalt table saw ( after reading tons of reviews). It worked really well until about two months ago when the wheel that raised and lowered the blade no longer functioned smoothly until it was finally no longer raising the blade at all. I cleaned (blew...
