  1. Mantle Clock

    Hello everyone! Have been lurking around for a while, but never posted anything here until now… So, here it is, my first project published here. :) This is a well-known project from WoodSmith/PlansNOW. I made some minor changes, like reducing the size and adding flutes on the sides. Original...

  4. Curling Delivery Aid

    In the sport of curling, granite rocks are slid down the ice with the help of either a broom or delivery aid to maintain one's balance. Many years ago, corn brooms were used exclusively for this purpose. Being both a curler and a wood turner, I have combined the old with the new. This is a corn...

    An Inquiring mind wants to know. I now have two panther pro 24 inch mills and a 50 cc and a 55 cc chainsaw. I was advised to just buy my wood but we have a compost site near that often has decent logs that may go to firewood or just get burnt. I am now actively learning all I can before I...

    Got a chance to get some maple from a tree that blew down at a buddys house. Question is what part of the tree does the best grain patternes come from? I have limited space as I already have some walnut air drying and straight grain maple is cheap enough I probably won't spend a lot of time and...

    Hello fellow LJ's. I'm stepping out of lurkerland to both advertise my site a bit and to ask a question about what power tool I'll need first to go forward.

    Aches, pains and pallet wood, oh my! Following its recent successful creation, I opted to give Franken-Rack free rein to terrorize the domain. It was my hope that it would bring home the finest lumber in all the land. Instead, it brought me pallet and crate wood. Several times I have berated...

    Need some input "chaisaw milling fantasy or reality?" I've had a vision of my self milling the free logs that are constantly being dumped at our compost site in our town. I have read about it, thought about it, and investigated the Husqvarna and Sthil saws at my local Farm & Fleet for...
  11. Wood & Lumber
    I have a small garage shop and am wondering if it's possible to mill perfectly square wood with just a benchtop planer (like a Dewalt DW735X) and my router table for edge jointing? For my router, I have a fence that will accurately offset for good, glue-ready edge joining. I ask this because...
