  1. Orbital Sander Stand/holster

    This is all about function rather than form. It ain't pretty, but it's version 1.0 I needed a stand/holster to hold the orbital as it spun down, rather than me standing there holding it for all those seconds. I came up with this, using scrap 1/2" oak and 5/8" oak dowels. The right dowel is...
  2. The taming of the table.

    Just a while back on here I asked advice about restoring my 100+ year old dining table that belonged to my 2x great grandmother. The table was put into storage after it had been used as a saw horse and had three skill saw cuts put into the top. Two cuts across grain and one with the grain...

  4. Crown Moulding Jewelry Box from last christmass

    Here is the Crown Moulding box that I made for my step daughter in california. It was for Christmass last year, but I didn't get a picture of it before it left. All mitered corners, including the top. Just added a piece of scrap in the center to fill in. Used the natural mitered edge of the...
  5. Kitchen Island Cart

    This is my very first woodworking project. I completed it at my brother-in-law's house using his table saw, circular saw, and router. Since this photo was taken, I added hardware to the drawer pulls and seasoned the butcher block top. The top is 31 cuts of whitewood, the base is whitewood...
  6. Cherry bed

    This is an arts & crafts/mission style bed out of cherry. These nightstands were built to match. I like the look of the cherry and particularly the change in color and pattern from heart to sapwood. I haven't had any issues using both. Were I to do it over, I'd match all of the slats from...

  8. Finishing
    Hello community, I recently embarked on my first woodworking project: a simply farmhouse rustic style table from reclaimed coastal redwood. The great news, the table turned out exactly as I wanted. The bad news, I may have made a mistake with the finish. First I sanded the tabletop using 80...

    I'm looking at purchasing a new sander to hook up to my air hose and have stumbled upon a few options that I'm not certain about. The main dilemma I currently am uncertain about is what a "geared planetary motion sander" is and how it differs from a non-geared random orbital sander. Besides...

    Dustless Sanding (really!): Rigging up your own vacuum system with the Porter Cable Model 333 The hardest dust for me to breathe is the fine stuff that comes out of the orbital sander. I have used the Porter Cable Model 333 for about 10 years now, and have done a lot of sanding with it. I am...
