  1. Frog Intarsia

    This Intarsia project was pretty much done by the book by Kathy Wise (3rd photo). However, I made it about twice as big to fit the scale of our master bath where it will be hung. The stick is 4/4 Bolivian Rosewood (24" long to give a sense of scale). The rest is 6/4 Yellowheart, some of which...
  2. Wall Clock

    This is a wall clock that I recently finished as a Christmas present. The clock is made of African Mahogany and Tiger Maple. I designed this piece with inspirations from traditional shaker design. The finish is a couple of coats of clear shellac. The striping on the tiger maple has been...
  3. challenge coin holder

    one of my newly promoted NCO was moving on to another position and asked if I could make her a unique coin holder and this is what I came up with. Since she was a difficult Airman and needed old school motivation I thought a paddle would be appropriate. it is made of left over cedar fence I...

    I finally have my arbor in place in my flower ring. I planted silver lace vines on each side and they are already climbing! Dick thanks for the idea and I have had alot of nice comments. Wait til the vines grow and bloom!
  5. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I replaced the v-belt on my lathe with a link belt and noticed a significant decrease in vibration. Wanted to do the same on my band saw, but noticed it has a serpentine belt. Doesn't look like the link belt will stay on. If a link belt doesn't work, any recommendations on a high quality...
  6. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I would like to try a link belt on my new table saw since many people seem to have good luck with them. The saw isn't exactly loud and has pretty minimal vibration but if a few dollars can improve it then why not. I don't have any kind of woodworking store (Rocklers or the like) within three...

    I have delayed converting my TS and BS to link belts waiting to stumble across some information about how long a belt I need and how to properly tension them. Do you make them the same length as the belt you are replacing? How do you properly tension them? Is the 4 foot length Woodcraft and...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    My neighbor, who knew that I was into woodworking called this weekend to tell me that another neighbor had sold her house and downsized after her husband had passed away. This second neighbor wanted to know if I was interested in his old table saw. When I went to check it out, expecting a small...
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I'm trying to replace the old belt on my Ridgid 3650 with a link belt I picked up a HF, but I can't seem to get the thing to stay on. I looked at the Fenner Drives instructions so I know I have it facing the right direction and the length is the same as the factory belt I'm replacing. However...

    Buying the Beast I found this beastly bandsaw at an estate sale earlier this summer. I have been looking for an older 14 inch in working condition for quite some time for the right price, but Craigslist and other estate sales were not working out within my budget. I want a saw that can resaw...

    Getting the Lathe Home and Mapping the Process The Lathe Here is the lathe. I bought it on Craigslist and got what I feel was a good deal. I went to Nashville and picked it up on Saturday. My plans are to replace the AC motor with a DC motor and make the lathe variable speed electronically...

    New (to me) Craftsman Table Saw - edited photos and text Thanks to Knotscott, who lives close by, I found a craftsman in very good shape. I've upgraded the belt with a link belt from Harbor Freight (good deal) and the fence with a Vega Pro 40. Just need to get the other wing on, add an...
