  1. acorn urn, lathe project

    Hi everyone, This is an urn I recently finished for a friend, he asked me to make it for his father, an avid outdoorsman. He asked for an acorn and told me to take it from there. Acorn equals oak and I chose white. I glued up panels 8" wide x 14" then glued and stacked them to make the...
  2. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Even if you don't use much electricity in your shop, you need to think about preventing utterly stupid accidents, which is something I'm really good at not doing. My workbench had been turning into a part-time storage table, I don't know why it took me until the other day to fix that nonsense...

    Rockler has clamp storage for up to $180 to store a couple dozen clamps. Being an idiot (faithful readers will recall I'm too stupid to run an air stapler) I figured that I could hang clamps for less than $3.75 / ea.

I've been messing about with woodworking for a few years, limiting myself to a few household projects, and my "pride and joy", converting...
  7. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    I have had way too many close calls lately. I really do try to be careful… and I've had table saws for years. I have become a little gun shy lately due to some flying wood. The most recent occurred as I I was cutting a piece of very lightweight 3/16 plywood and a small piece kicked back. My...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Bought a cheap-o Ryobi SC162VS for dirt cheap on craigslist last year. Today is the first time I've wanted to use it. Not really into scroll saws, I don't even know if what I bought was complete, but I thought - what the heck, it was only $15. Am I missing something to keep the blade in there...
