  1. Planer Sled (for face-jointing wide boards)

    I just purchased a DEWALT DW735 planer (my wonderful wife practically forced me to-honest!), I'm not sure I've ever seen a truly flat board, and I have no space or budget for a jointer. So I thought I'd build a planer sled to act like a face jointer. (For edge jointing, I'll use my table saw or...
  2. Nightstand

    I finally completed my Nightstand for the guest bedroom. Several things that you can say about this piece of furniture, it is heavy and solid as a rock, since it is made from 3/4 inch quarter sawed white oak, even the drawers. I experimented with this unit and I used several different...

  5. Router Sled to flatten large slabs.

    I have 4 or 5 logs slabbed and dry enough to use for building benches and tables, so it's time to make a router sled to get them as flat as possible and do it as quick as possible. My number one product is gunstocks and I use a Don Allen Duplicator from Dakota Arms to carve them. I used it as...

  7. Coffee Bar

    I know this looks like a kitchen but according to the town of Bromont, it is not. There is no stove, therefore it becomes a coffee bar and is accepted by the town bylaw as a valid renovation project. It is solid ash, spray lacquered white. The island is black cherry and the top is 3.5'' thick.

    As some of you know I got my bandsaw mill up and running yesterday.http://lumberjocks.com/projects/19484 This is the second log I sawed. I found it on the side of the road in a swampy area, where it had been blown down and someone had cut it out of the way. I went and got my buddies Rick and Rob...

    This is a serving tray I made for my wife. It is made up of curly/tiger maple, walnut and pink lyptus. It has a food-safe finish of Salad Bowl Finish and a mineral oil/beeswax topcoat. I used 4-walnut dowels to raise it slightly off whatever surface it is set on and routered handles into the...
  11. Focus on the Workspace
    Hi there LJ! First post. Recently started renting a garage/shed space in Sf that I'm making my woodshop. Before I set up the machines in the space, I want to take care of the shoddy concrete floor. There are divots and cracks in the concrete, and it has an annoying slope towards the door. It has...

    I have a piece of 1/8" hardboard that has an S curve along one edge and won't lay flat like I need it to. I tried laying it on a flat surface and throwing weight on top of it for a couple of days and there doesn't seem to be any change in its shape. How can I flatten hardboard ? Thanks

    I've been making and flattening a lot of tables tables over the past few months (no thickness planer/drum sander), and I was wondering what high volume shops use to flatten them before finishing? Do they use massive planers or drum sanders, or do they have to go through the same routine of...
  14. Hand Tools
    Hello everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently picked up a few planes on eBay (a No. 5 and a No. 7, might purchase the Veritas 60 1/2 and can't wait to get it) and I'm looking to flatten their soles. My question is this-how big does the reference plate have to be to...

    Two Book Matched Pieces: 1.375" Thickness, 18" Width, ~90" Long There have been many conflicting opinions I have read online about how to approach some of the problems I am having with a pair of book-matched wooden slabs. Currently each slab is cupped enough such that joining them would...
  16. Hand Tools
    I'm practicing refurbishing a cheaper Stanley Hand Plane, in hopes of gaining some experience before finding a good one to refurbish. I got a 3/8" thick piece of glass and am flattening the bottom of the plane. I started with 120 then 220, and then finished with a few passes of 500. You can...

    So I glued up about 5 boards to make a 48×20" panel out of red oak. 3/4" thick. I did plane down my boards before glue up and made sure to glue them so that there were not step ups going from one board to the next. Once glued up there was a slight bow in the panel from side to side (maybe 1/64"...

    I am building an epoxy river desk with a cumaru slab I recently purchased. The slab was kiln dried. The issue I am facing is that the slab has a pretty substantial twist in one of the pieces. My original plan was to flatten the slab using a router sled; however, after laying it out, I am not...
