My Workshop and office project Well, this is my first "blog" so I will give it a go. I was just going to post some pictures of my workshop as it is now, but then I ran into the pictures of entire process so I thought it might be interesting. The workshop is 20×30 with a 10×20 office space...

Shed/Office (all slabbed lumber) We recently built a tractor shed/office building in the village where I live and work with the Hewa tribe. All the wood used for this project was from pine trees that we cut down and slabbed ourselves. The tin, though, we had to have flown in on a small, single...

sorry to vent but this drives me nuts; After market fences are priced INSANE! to get a 52" Biesemeyer fence, ill need to shell out well over $450, with shipping. Yet i can get one ON a saw that costs $1400...

Is it me or does everyone have problems cutting straight with a band saw? (Mine does not have a fence) I make my mark, draw my line and then line that line up to the blade. As I push the wood through I find myself having to move the wood left and right in order to keep the blade on (or at...

I have an old wooden plane that was given to me and I am looking for info on it. It has been repaired with a patch on the bottom with a wood dowel holding the patch, but it has come loose.

Happy Thanksgiving! Tried to get some work done but got into the Thanksgiving spirit a bit too early so here we are. I found these on Craigslist night before last for $22. That price included the two Craftsman planes and the Stanley No.4. Not sure how Craftsman numbers their planes but the...

Hey guys, I have been making cutting boards for the family for Christmas. Yesterday, I ran into an unpleasant surprise. I sanded three of my boards with 150 and brought them inside. I rinsed the sawdust off of them with water and dried them off with a towel. I left them to dry overnight and...

(Tip: if you don't want to read the whole story, skip to the end and tell us your 2 woodworking-related wishes) While at the hardwood dealer you find an old hunk of 8/4 lumber that looks so awful you can't imagine it ever seeing a better day. It's dirty, rough, twisted, knotty, and has a deep...

This video is well worth the watch. The axe work is amazing. Some interesting uses of handplanes as well.

For a couple of us in West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland, there are a couple of sources of hardwoods, but not that many. Greg3G and I have gone to Frederick, MD to get some in the past. Well, I just found another one in Kearnesville, WV. Which is between Martinsburg, WV and Charles Town...
