  1. Mallet for My Daughter

    This is a mallet I made for my daughter, it is made from oak and a piece of blockboard for a little contrast. I consider this my best mallet to date. I finished it with boiled linseed oil and then added a topcoat or two of 50/50 clear Shellac and denatured alcohol. The handle shape is a little...
  2. Bench with Storage

    This is the first indoor bench I ever made. I used 2×12's for most of the construction and the 1/4" plywood for the bottom. I pegged the corners with two dowels each to help prevent racking, the dowels are actually old sponge brush handles (use what you got!). The lid is a simple lift off style...
  3. Bench with Storage #2

    Another bench with storage, built from 2×12's and 1×6's. I used thinner stock for the rails this time in order to maximize the inside width. The corners are again pegged with dowels, this time 2 different sizes per corner because they are what I had on hand. The lid on this bench is hinged, just...
  4. Welcome Friends

    I came across the words "Welcome" & "Friends" at Joann's Fabrics & Crafts.

Then I topped each off with various tops to suit...

    DON'T BE AN IDIOT, A WARNING Do you all know that denatured alcohol burns, invisibly. I mean you can't see it burn. Well a little blue flame maybe if you're at the right angle. Well let me tell you from the beginning. I'm on quite a few meds from a broken back, diabeties and a few other...
  8. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hello All, In Canada it seems impossible to find denatured alcohol. I am not really willing to use Methyl Hydrate (I found that it can be used to cut shellac) due to its high toxicity. I have seen a lot of different alternatives on the web but so many contradictory opinions I do not know what...
