  2. Torsion Box Out-Feed / Assembly Table

    So this is my first attempt at a torsion box design. I've seen them all over LJ and have been itching to build one. I am in my last 3 weeks of civilian carpentry employment before I go Active Duty with the Navy as a Nuke for at least six years, so I definitely don't need one for myself (yet)...
  3. Gun Cabinet

    Black walnut gun cabinet. There's a hidden compartment in the cornice the client wanted for his hand gun. He also had a cameo he wanted to include so I inset it in the face of the top drawer. There is also a drawer for each gun. I don't remember where I found the original plans, but this...
  4. Bottle Puzzle

    I've seen pictures and videos of these puzzles, always wanted to make one and figured it would be a great christmas gift. Here is my first go at it! The receiver of the puzzle had some leftover bamboo flooring, so I made sure to use that for the base (unfortunately there was some chip out).

    Howdy, So my friend just started wood working and decided to make a cutting board, and so far it is a huge mess. He has asked me to see if I can salvage it at all, and considering it is his first ever project I would like to try. The problem is, his glue up job was so bad I can't seem to get...

    I am prepping to finish my third tWW cutting board (first was a trial, second and third are gifts), and my third one has a slight problem. When put down side down, it has a slight willingness to rock. I have been using my card scrapers to clean to do the cleaning, but I don't seem to be...
  7. Focus on the Workspace
    I am a novice woodworker and have plans to build an L-shaped 2×4 frame workbench over the holidays. However, the floor where the bench will sit is a 60+ year old concrete floor that is nearly 3 inches out-of-level. I would like to build the bench to be level in the space without using...

    Hello, I am working on leveling a maple slab with a router, and I have a question on which bit to use. Currently, I am using a 1.25" diameter bottom clearing bit, but I am really only able to cut approximately 1/16" depth at the full width of the bit without slowing the router motor down too...

    Step-by-step Tabletop I have been itching to make a table for a while now. Not just any table, mind you, but a live-edge table made from a slab or two. When summer began I told myself that I would do it, and while I was browsing the internet looking for wood slabs, I came across a gentleman...

    Arriving upon the scene It all began in the beginning where most things begin; maybe everything does but I like to leave room for error since I am very prone to those. In the beginning were those men in my life who were for all practical purposes expert craftsmen whether it be wood working...

    Hey LJ's - Quick question regarding torsion box assembly table construction. I am preparing to build a Wood Whisperer / David Marks style assembly table that will also serve as an outfeed table for my table saw. The videos I've watched typically create a dead-flat surface by painstakingly...

    Hi! I read through the previous posts on this topic but they were all a little older and didn't really apply to my specific situation. I'm putting together my first poplar console table. I've built a few small things as well as a daybed. I'm thinking I must have gotten lucky with the daybed...

    I just bought the G0555 14" bandsaw from Grizzly. I spent last night getting it assembled and set up. I leveled the base and began on the saw assembly. Everything was cruising right along until I got to the table. I understand how to level the table in the directions that it bevels...
