For my double double bed project, with the exception of the posts, I've not started to cut wood for the headboards. Here's what I have now: All wood is red oak. The posts are 3.5×3.5, the (curved) top rail is made from 6/4, and the top plate will be 1×5 or so. Here's the problem: It...

I was wondering if there is a way to search for things (like projects) with pictures? When you search for a project you get a huge list of descriptions of each project, which means you have to click on each description to see what it is, what it looks like, etc, etc. Maybe I'm missing...

I recently completed my first glider. I patterened it from a porch swing that I have been making for awhile. To turn it into a glider I purchased some 7.5 inch metal glides specifically for gliders from Rockler. I used some features from glider patterns in magazines and adapted to my swing. The...

In the begining In the beginning chaos reigned. Yep, that about sums up my "shop". Or to quote my wife: "What a mess"! Easily 50% of my time is spent searching for a tool or hardware I know I have and dancing around everything trying not to knock over wood piles or tools. I had a decent...

Hello, my first post and first band saw. I picked this up on CL for next to nothing, thought it would be a great first saw. It seems to work fine after a good cleaning. However the guides are chewed up and the thrust bearing is..well gone. Where can I get guides for this as Sears no longer...

Ok, Im relatively new to scrolling, I have a (cheap) Ryobi 16" scroll saw bought used off Craigslist(like 90% of my shop was). The saw came with a handful of blades which seem to work OK for now. However, Im always looking to upgrade and want to buy some Olson blades. I use Olson blades on my...
