  1. New Worktable

    This new table is the worktable of my dreams, and I have had many dreams! Over the Christmas holidays, I built the top, then demoed my old bench and built a new frame similar to the one Jay Bates built for his bench. Just simple 2×4 construction. However, I did make sure the roll out drawer...

  7. Ramset Box

    The managers of our park let me use the Ramset gun to nail my new deck to the concrete pad so I told them I'd make them a box for it. This is it. It holds the gun, some nails and the 22's. Everything is recycled including the pill bottle for the 22's It was made from scraps of wood found in our...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I brought home my grandfather's 1950 6 inch Delta jointer that has been sitting in storage at my dad's. I cleaned it up to a usable condition and plugged it in to a 110 outlet with an extension cord. It would run for a a couple minutes and then kick the breaker in my garage (20 amp circuit). So...

    Figuring out angles How's that for a wishy washy title:-) ? I've been toying with the idea of building myself a small sailboat so the kids and I can putter about and maybe have some fun fishing from it. I am also hoping we can have fun putting it together so I don't want to get too ambitious...

    Start up Bought a few planks of Ash for $9…..four at 7/8" x 5-1/2" x 77" and one at 7/8" x 5-1/2" x 48" with a live edge. Needed to haul the 4 longer planks to the shop, and figure where to cut what…. Maybe cut 2 boards up for the table's top….the other for the legs, and the last one...
  15. Hand Tools
    I am working on my 21st century workbench and have a problem. I have a set of the new Stanley bench chisels. I drilled out most of the waste with a Forster bit but I am stuck on the cleanup. I tried cleaning up the end grain portion of the mortises by chopping with the bench chisel. I sharpened...
