    I am looking at a used DW733 "type 2". Can anyone tell me what the differences between Type 1 & 2 are? Online I can find nothing discussing the differences. Appreciate any input. Berg

    Hey all, here is a link with a photo of a entertainment center. What i'm wondering is how do you think the finish is done? Is it painted first then a light stain applied and wiped off? I'm getting ready to design a entertainment center similar to this, but won't actually get to start on it...
  3. Finishing
    Here are a couple cribbage boards I've made. These are finished with "tung oil finish" I have mixed feelings about the results. I've been told that pure tung oil will give better results. What are your suggestions? I'm relatively new to finishing, so I would appreciate all the help I can get!

    First, some background. This winter, I am planning to put up a deck in my backyard for BBQing and lounging around being lazy. It will be a simple 12'X12' with a square roof covering it. I am trying to figure out how to make a slatted roof with a low pitch that will allow smoke to pass up and...

    First Try to Blog! Well, I have never Blogged before so I thought I would try and see how things go. I am really just getting serious about my woodworking; previously I have been a wood hack! I have begun my first real test, that is, I am attempting to build an entertainment center for a large...

    getting started! Although I haven't completed many big projects before, I got the hair-brained idea to construct a large built in entertainment center in our media room. I am hoping to get the carcasses and face frames built fairly quickly, then take some time to build a large drawer at the...

    Low Entertainment Center Pt. 1 http://blip.tv/play/AYGY5wQA Think you can't build furniture because you only have a few basic tools? Well, check this out! This walnut low entertainment center was built using three primary tools: a circular saw, a router, and a drill. But that doesn't mean I...

    First Big Project I started this project for a friend a few months ago and will be putting the finishing touches on soon. It is a plywood box with pine face frame. I used my Kreg Jig for all the joints. This is the largest project I have tackled to date and has been a great learning...

  10. Focus on the Workspace
    As seen in the pics, I have a Delta planer with legs but no mobility. I would like to know if putting casters on this style of leg would create a problem or if this is a no brainer. I sort of feel like this is a dumb question but the particular piece of the leg has only a plastic type "foot"...

  13. Wood & Lumber
    I recently moved to Fort Worth, TX and I am looking for a good hardwood supplier who has domestic and exotic hardwoods as well as some basic birch ply and mdf for jigs and such. I have been to Brazos Forest Products but they had that, "Oh you aren't buying 500 BF? Then we're not going to pay...

  15. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I am about to start building new living room furniture, and want to start at the TV stand. I designed on sketch up, but I have a couple of questions before I really get started. 1st. What would be the best way to attach the shelf (solid wood) to the legs. I am worried that WHEN it expands, it...

    (Owen McKenna Rio Rancho, NM) Does anyone know a good source for hardwood lumber near Rio Rancho, NM?
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Thanks for the warm welcome gang! No wise can I call myself a woodworker - I just own a few tools. First "big project" a few years back was a T&G pine floor, of all things. I'm sure it is lying under a nice shag carpet at the present moment. Just spent a couple days working on a cutoff fence...
  18. Designing Woodworking Projects
    So I was about to build a low entertainment center (60" wide, 22" deep, 20" tall). The original design was plywood cabinet, but due to material (of choice) costs this design is out the door. I'm not too excited about making this using the plywood box construction method, and would rather go...
