  1. Record player display and storage

    My first commissioned piece - was originally going to be stained but I didn't trust ebony (customer request) on pine so we did a very dark brown (she just wanted colors in her living room to be same shade, not necessarily a perfect match) but that iw why it had dowels instead of screws/filler...
  2. Coffee table from 2x4s and 2x6s

    Made a coffee table for my living room - initially tried pocket holes but did not like the way it felt under light/intermediate pressure (I sit on my coffee tables, sometimes, top was attached with pocket holes and glue and still is) So I rebuilt using lap joints and 7/8 dowels, no screws - Top...
  3. Clamp Rack, Catch All? Maybe both...

    And yet ANOTHER "A" Frame Mobile clamp rack! Maybe it is, but I also started this thing about midnight last night and finished it off before I crawled into bed around 6am. Definitely a project that can be completed in an afternoon, regardless of when your afternoon might be! I also included a...

  5. Patio Chairs

    Here's a couple of examples of some Patio Chairs I built for my wife. So far they have been a big hit with everyone who sees them, including SWMBO. When I was kid in the 1960's, my parents had a set of chairs that were very similar. As an adult I have kept an eye out for a set to use in my own...
  6. Economical Dust Collection System for a Small Home Workshop

    I have a small workshop with several tools that generate a lot of dust and sawdust. I wanted to build a dust collection system that wouldn't break the bank, was small and didn't take up a lot of room, and could be built from off the shelf components from the local lumber yard. I had an old 2...
  7. Walnut Earring Case

    This was a fun build. Dovetail joinery on the main body, and box joints on the drawers. Each drawer has its own gold plated keyed lock. Installing the handles on the sides was a challenge. In retrospect, I wish I had used a sliding dovetail on the center section. Clear poly finishes it off. I...
  8. Panel Clamp

    I make a lot of panels out of smaller boards from pallets so I thought about it and came up with this design which I sketched up (with pencil and paper), and set out to find a similar version on the web that I could compare to. I am sure I'm not the first person to come up with this but I...
  9. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hey everyone, I was looking to get some advice as for the best way to get crisp mitered corners. I'm about to attempt a couple of keepsake boxes and possible urn in the near future. Just trying to avoid some "Trial and Error" efforts on my part…lol I have a miter saw, but fear the tear out I...
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hey all, New here for posting but have gained a ton of info from you guys before finally signing up. Thank you for your shared knowledge. I have scoured the ol interweb for a decently priced 220v remote switch for my dust collector project. The best I found was a 220v contactor switch with a...

  12. Sweating for Bucks Through Woodworking
    Doing my first craft shows this year and am trying to cover all the price points. Any good recommendations for items that are easy enough to make that I can charge $10 or less? I have $25 items, $50 items, even $100 items, but I think it would be good to have something $10 or less as around my...
  13. Woodworking Skill Share
    This forum has been very helpful with my woodworking related questions. Perhaps you can help me with a non-wood related question. I am guessing your first question is, "why is he asking about metal on a site about woodworking?" Well, I am guessing that a lot of you guys are like me, you don't...
