  1. Cheap & Easy Exhaust Fan

    When I made my finishing room I needed a way to get all the fumes out of the work area and prevent them from getting into my upstairs living space, so I devised the simple and easy to build exhaust fan. It is a household fan minus the base and plywood housing with some mesh to keep curious...
  2. Long Boards

    Let me start by saying, I do not skate board. I want to make sure I am not associated with skate boarders and as a disclaimer, I didn't know much about them. They are all re-sawn Oak plys. My brothers in law wanted to get into long boarding. I decided to tackle the challenge of making a pair...

  4. Bluegill Carving

    This was my first fish carving. The actual fish looks better then the photos thank god, lol. I carved it for our youngest sons 17th Birthday. It took alot longer to carve then I expected it to take. I think painting alone was about 10 hours for a total of about 50 hours with the stones for...
  5. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Hi! I'm not actually a woodworker, but I share a building with a woodshop, and I'm looking for some help. I live in a large metal building, divided in half inside: One side is our apartment, the other is the woodshop. The woodworker is a close acquaintance, and we get along well enough..but...
  6. Finishing
    I built some shelving for the baby's nursery in February out of 1×12 fir boards. Finished with 1 application of boiled linseed oil (1 part to 3 parts mineral spirits.) Now in April I can still smell the finish off-gassing which is obviously a concern, especially for use in a nursery. It's not...

    Test Drive The first installment of this blog is here due to LJ blogging technical issues… To make sure the dimensions are correct for our new table, we decided to do a little test drive. It didn't hurt that we're having eight people over for a Fourth of July BBQ. We ran over to the big box...

    Templates So, between TreeFrogFurniture.BlogSpot.com and Robert Lang's book "More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture", I decided that the corner of our dining room could stand an accent table. TreeFrog has built two different styles, so I "borrowed" the plans for the one I liked (he posted...
  9. Finishing
    Hey, All …. As usual, I'm reaching out to this vast wealth of knowledge, assembled here :-) I've completed my Shaker-inspired Hall Table, out of beetle-kill pine: Yep. A leg warped, after glue-up. Gonna' live with it … at least for now ;-) My mother was kind enough to buy me the...
  10. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Sorry if this topic has been brought up before - unfortunately the search fuction appears to be broken at the moment… So last night I pretty much stunk up the whole house with paint thinner fumes - my wife was understandably not happy and it probably isn't real healthy to be breathing that...
  11. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    This is something that's popped in and out of mind over the last couple of years. Has anyone heard of, or had an experience with building a little spray booth/box hooked to a dust collector to draw in the fumes? Of course, I don't want all of that going into my pipes and hoses, and don't want...
  12. Finishing
    I built a cabinet for my car and I used dap weld wood contact cement on part of it. And three days later the fumes are so bad you can barely be in the car. How long does it take before the fumes dissipate?
