  1. Dining Room Table & Bench

    My wood buddy and I are back on the road to better health after several years. His daughter-in-law wanted a table for her dining room with a bench. She requested the table top look similar to the conference room table seen in the TV series Scandal. This is our interpretation with me taking the...
  2. Rolltop Desk

    Follow the entire build blog series here. They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. On February 20, I took the first step in building my dream project by cutting the first board for the massive roll top desk build. To be honest, the lumber had been stored in the shop...
  3. Craftsman Style Bookcase

    My first post here. 6 months ago, I was taking a beginning wood class at the local high school and just happened to mention this to my lawyer, who just happened to have a fairly nice woodshop in his garage and offered unfettered access to me to use it. Combine that with my buddy (who just...
  4. White Oak Salt Box

    This is a small white oak salt box that I made to learn how to make rabbet and dado joints, learn a bit about scroll cutting on a bandsaw, and to make a useful kitchen tool. The salt box holds salt for cooking. It has a lift lid and is large enough to hold both salt and a set of measuring...
  5. Chair side table

    Ok, this turned out to be a weird project. The basics: Chair side table, 16"w x 22"d x 24"h (the top is 30"x 20"), White Oak, fumed/natural Danish oil/poly top coat. The top and side panels are curly Oak. The wife wanted a bigger table between our two chairs (so we could pile on more 'stuff'...
  6. Charles Limbert inspired living room end tables.

    My wife and I are in the process of upgrading our living room furniture. When we built the house in 2007 in the north woods of Minnesota we decided to purchase "up north" furniture, meaning large, rustic looking pine with metal embellishments. I tend to get most of my "furniture" inspirations...
  7. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Any of you woodworkers in Northern Canada or some US members too know anything about "KMS Tools and Equipment Ltd". Just received a flyer from them looks like they have fine tools at a fair price.

    Hey all Made a fuming chamber from an old upright freezer. Had pretty good success fuming white oak using household ammonia. Switching to the 28% stuff, got some questions; Does ammonia lose potency while sitting in the fumer or does it just evaporate. Can I reuse the remaining liquid in...

    I've been really coming up with nothing for a supplier of a high concentrate Ammonia here in Omaha - perhaps I'm not searching right on Google. Either way, I'd like to go the route of the high concentrate instead of the household version, as I'd like to get this done in a day instead of having...
  10. Wood & Lumber
    This weekend I happen to stop by the Barstow, CA Home Depot on my way back from Vegas to see how their redwood selection looked. Well, they didn't have any redwood, but as I was looking at their red oak when I noticed a 3" x 10' piece was quarter sawn. After a little digging, I found a total...

    Hello, I have a new, in box, never opened DeWalt DWP611 router for sale.. I'd like to get $100 for it. + shipping… I got this on Sunday at the Grizzly Tent sale, it came as a free add on with my thickness planner.. This would be my 4th router and I don't see myself using it much. I'd like...

    Finishing a small box made from 100 year old reclaimed qs white oak and would like to fume it with ammonia. I had trouble sourcing the 25%+ solutions so ended up getting the weaker (5-10%) solution from the grocery store. After 24 hours my sample piece was already super dark. The finishing book...

    I just did a test last night fuming four pieces of White Oak: 2,4,6, & 8 hours. The differences between the two hour pieces was subtle. The 8 hour piece and the unfumed sample, obviously, were the most distinct. I'm gearing up to build a set of kitchen style cabinetry for our newly...

    Back Log Catch up This is a project I started from quartersawn white oak scraps about three years ago. However, I got involved in other things, so it has been bouncing around in storage getting slightly damaged during the interim. I took it out to inspect it and start the finishing process; aka...

    History History We had a maple kitchen table that was very nice, but not the style we wanted for our house. After I made the mahogany coffee table, I was feeling confident to tackle something larger. Kristin and I enrolled in a "work completion lab" at the community college. I looked through...

    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...

    I recently purchased ammonium hydroxide 29% for a mission bed project. Supply house min quantity was four gallons. If you have an interest in trying this traditional technique I'll trade/barter/sell by the gallon. Read the Material Data Sheet before considering this finish. You need pvc...

    Craftsman Dining Room Set - In The Beginning... Due to my ignorance with LJ blogging, the next installment is here. So, I've got my girlfriend's permission to start working on our new dining room set. I've done a ton of research, and for me, Schroeder hit the nail right on the head. He's...

    Stickley / Jeff Jewitt Arts and Crafts Finish I wanted to recreate this Jeff Jewitt finish from Fine Woodworking #157, however the article didn't list which formula was used. I consulted with Jeff, and it was Transtint Brown Mohogany dye, followed by McCloskeys Walnut stain. McClosky no...
