  3. Asian/Arts and Crafts inspired table

    I recently designed and completed this hall/sofa table. There are more details on the design and construction at my blog. Here's the short version: The table is made from 8/4 and 4/4 Walnut. I attempted to create an Arts and Crafts style piece with some Asian influence and simple lines. It...
  4. Mantown Lounge Chair

    Here's a chair project I recently completed. It's my rendition of a chair I saw in Fine Woodworking Magazine a few years ago. Built completely from 12/4 cherry, assembled using loose tenon joinery. Basically, I roughed out the pieces on the bandsaw, assembled it and shaped the curves with a...

  6. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I just inherited an old "generic" Delta clone 14" bandsaw. It will need work to get up and running, and before I sink any time and money into it I have a question about one issue that I have noticed right away: The guide post is loose and despite how much I crank down on it's tightening knob...
  7. Joinery
    Okay, this is going to sound really dumb to some of you but I have a question concerning tenons. I am familiar with mortise and tenon joinery but I am a little confused with what is called slip or loose tenons. I am working on a project that calls for slip tenons and I am a little confused about...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Wondering if anyone with an older Mirka Ceros has ever had an issue with the motor being loose? I started sanding this morning and noticed it vibrated more than normal, and the pad was hanging lower from the body of the sander (about 1/2"). I then realized that the pad and motor could be...

  10. Woodworking Skill Share
    This has to have been covered somewhere, but I didn't find it after a bit of searching. The first project, a bookcase (natch, right?) is a box with a back, and a single adj shelf on pins in the middle. I have 4 stop dadoes so the top and bottom fit into the sides. It's all 3/4 birch ply. I...

    An introduction Since I already blog at my own domain I did not want to duplicate all of that content here at LumberJocks each time that I made a post. So, I asked Martin if it was appropriate for me to have blog entries here at LumberJocks that link to my own blog. The answer was a...

    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...

    Loose Tenon Jig I recently made a stone top table with Mortise and Tenon Joinery. I was thinking of making more of these tables, also ~3×3" legs with 1.5" thick aprons would make some pretty sweet work tables out of construction grade pine. Normally I would simply use a router and edge guide...

    I turned a pen as a gift for a coworker, and I was going to give it to him this week, but this morning I discovered (when final-checking the ink to make sure it worked) that the top is loose. It's a slimline kit, the twisty sort, and all the other ones I've ever made have the top half holding...

    I went to adjust the sound level in my stereo system,laying there beside my Amp was a surprise. This guy got out about 2 weeks ago and we've kept our eyes out for him. My wife was afraid that she'd find him. He found a small hole in the lid of his cage and worked his way out. I went to feed...
