  1. File handles

    I needed handles for a couple of my files I'm using on another project. Whipped up two from scraps around the shop. The smaller is red oak with a ¾" ID piece of aluminum tubing as a ferrule, and the larger is a bit of broom-handle, also with an aluminum ferrule. Both are shorter than normal...

  2. Five board bench

    Lately all of my woodworking projects seem to take a long time to wrap up. Last Saturday, I noticed Dave Rutan's five board bench post, and said to myself, "Hey, I could make one of those pretty quickly!" I set up my 7" miter saw, dug out an 8' 2×12 and an 8' 2×4 and got to work. First two cuts...

  3. Box for miter saw

    I've got two miter box saws, one of them somewhat dull, and the other pretty dull, and I need to ship them off for sharpening (still haven't found someone here in Santa Fe), one at a time, and rather than wrap the saw in bubble-wrap and cardboard, and have the USPS try hard to destroy it, I...

  4. Dust Deputy stand

    Not much to say except that I needed a place to put my Dust Deputy without sacrificing a bunch of floor space. So I used four 20-1/2" extension tubes for my vacuum, two chunks of tubafor, a free piece of plywood, and four wood screws to make a stand. It won't carry a TON of weight, but I should...

  5. Last minute gift for the New Year party.

    First - Happy New Year (yep, same places on the Earth are almost there)! We need simple gift for the New Year party. Looks like amazon will not deliver on time, so here it is - last minute gift. 2020 is Year of the White Metalic Rat. At least this is what google tells me. Pine boards glued...

  6. Back Scratcher

    My sweetie mentioned the other night that she needed a back scratcher. I did a quick search, and saw Bambi's take and figured I could knock something together pretty quickly, even without a shop. I bored a hole in a piece of cherry I had laying around, cut it off the board, then glued a piece...

  7. One hour hacksaw

    I have a little hobby hacksaw I use when cutting small pieces of metal. It takes the 6" (150mm) pinned blades. At some point, it got bent, so the blade was slightly twisted and slack. It didn't work very well that way. Rather than go to the hardware store and buy another, only to have it fall...

  8. Wood & Lumber
    The club I belong to had a day where we cut logs and put the lumber in the solar kiln. We had great looking walnut, ambrosia maple, red oak, hickory and poplar. There was 31 logs to cut and two bandsaw mills at our disposal.

    So I recently picked up this used Hitachi C10FCH2 for my wife to use on a few projects. After my terrible experience with the Bosch GCM12SD I was ready to give up on miter saws for now while I contemplate a Kapex. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised with this saw. The only downside is that...

    HUGE Eucalyptus score Sheesh. Good thing I have a truck now. I saw a note on craigslist today (online classifieds) that a guy had put "10 to 15 more" eucalyptus logs out in the alleyway behind his house. LA is all blocks split in half by access alleys big enough to drive 2 cars through...

    Miter Jack A few months ago, I bought a miter jack, thinking that I would need to be making some 45 degree miters for the upcoming box swap. Since then, I've changed my plans for what I'm going to build (I got better at dovetails, mostly) and might not be doing miters, but figured that I would...

    Introduction When we moved to Santa Fe last year, I had planned to build new bookcases for the house. In my old house in Minneapolis, I had built-in bookcases, and the house here in the Southwest needs a different look. So I looked around a little, and decided to build the Jefferson...
