We have towering firs! They are at least 100-110 feet tall. With firs come fir needles. I can clean the deck at 9 AM and it will be covered with fir needles by noon;-(( If a noticeable wind is blowing, they will be 1/2" deep by noon!!;-(( They even get to the front yard and driveway. They...
I've seen various versions of wooden floor mat's online now for a while. Just Google Wooden Floor Mat's and you'll see plenty of them. I settled on a version of one that would work well for me; where of all places do you ask? Lowe's. Yep. Apparently Lowe's actually has quite a list of free...
As most projects do this one has a story. Last summer while I was at the Hardwood supplier I checked out there $1.00 a bd. ft. bin and came across a piece of maple that had had this inclusion which is the bottom part of the frame pictured. I just knew that I would be able to do something with...
I finished a couple picture frames for myself last weekend. I've made plenty before, but all for other people. There was sapwood in some of the wood but I kinda liked how it looked so I left it in. I finished it with satin poly. In hindsight, I should've used an oil/varnish blend for a...
I have a stack of ipe balusters that use to be on a deck that I upgraded. I decided to repurpose some of the balusters by making picture frames. This wood is very hard and eats up tools so I kept the profile simple. All the work was done using my radial arm saw.
I also made a video that...

In this video I will be showing you how to make these lovely, stylish drink mats. These were made of bit of wood lying around the shop. For this project I glued various woods together and then made a border. After that I sanded them all down. I applied a couple of coats then waxed them up...
Hey all,
Does anyone know where I can get a good rubber mat that can withstand 400-500 lbs. I am thinking that I need one to make my table saw and jointer more steady.
Thanks,

Glazing
When framing anything using glass or acrylic as the glazing, there should be an air gap of at least 1/8" between the art or object being framed and the inside surface of the glass. This is to prevent moisture, from the condensation that will almost certainly occur, from transferring to...
making the profile
I needed to make a picture frame for some art my sweetie found. These are the steps along the way.
The frame needed to have a 9 inch square piece of glass (the art is 7.5×7.75 inches). So I started with a 4 foot long stick of poplar I ripped off the edge of a 3/4×8 inch...
