  1. More ornaments

    And here is some more. The patterns for these came from Arpop
  2. Espy

    This turned out to be 2 projects instead of one, the second having sort of evolved out of the first. I'm glad to be done with both of them. The original idea was to glue up a block of wooden matches to create a 'black and white' image. The burnt end of the match sticks would provide the black...
  3. Jewelry Box - Walnut and Maple

    This is the third jewelry box I made in this design. This box is made of walnut and maple with a little ash thrown in. The maple is an off cut of a larger tree that I was given by a friend of mine with a saw mill. The maple has some spalting, ambrosia and some figure. The drawers are made of ash...
  4. Making a Marking Knife

    About 4 or 5 years ago (who can remember those kind of details) I bought 4 marking knife blades from Hock Tools I bought 2 of the 1/4" marking knives and 2 of the 3/4" blades. I kind of sharpened them up and put them back in the package. After giving one of the 3/4" blades to a friend. He has...
  5. Magic Wand

    Made from walnut and cherry. I think this is the smallest diameter I have turned. A good learning project with the skew.
  6. Patio Shade

    After I built the screen door, the boss decided we needed something to go around it on the patio.
  7. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I've decided I need to acquire a drill press. I fully realize that I should buy the best and largest that I can to make it useful in the long run. Given space limitations and the uses I have for it at the moment (roughing out mortises, starter holes for scroll saw projects) I'm fairly sure I...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    There is a thread going about the worst tool you've ever bought, and another thread about the best/most useful tool in your shop. How about big surprises? Maybe you picked something up on a whim, and when you got into the shop you found you had a real treasure - maybe not your favorite tool...
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    In my home shop, I really need to keep air hoses and exension cords tidy. There are tons of retractable systems out there, but some can be really cruddy. I am hoping to get some recommendations for good ones. I prefer the really flexible lightweight airhose to the heavy rubber stuff.
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    My drill bits suck. Really. They're quite atrocious. I don't know where they came from, but they make terrible holes and walk all over the place on start. I need a decent set of drill bits. Any recommendations? I was hoping not to spend a fortune on a Colt or similar set. Just looking for...
  11. Woodturning
    I am new to woodturning and I am looking to purchase a 4 jaw chuck for my Delta 46-715 lathe. I have looking at the Nova 4 jaw chuck (described on ebay as a "Nova Lathes 1"-8 TPI Direct Thread Midi Wood Turning Chuck 48111 New"). The vendor is elling it for $82.50 including shipping. My lathe...
  12. Joinery
    I am new to woodworking and I have been collecting equipment and tools as I go. My wife wants me to build a few nightstands and I thought dovetail joints on the drawers would be nice. I am not competent enough to cut them by hand and I wanted to see of I could get some recommendations on a...
  13. Joinery
    After seeing a post by kryptix, I realized I am completely ignorant when it comes to wood glue. For my small projects, I have been using Gorilla Glue. A few of my next projects will be a bookshelf and a nightstand. What glue would be appropriate for things like that? I am assuming one of the...
  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    So I was looking around Craigslist and Letgo at table saws and had always wished my current saw, DeWalt DWE7480, could accept dado blades. I saw a few saws, craftsman and older rigid table saws, and thought about upgrading the fences in the future to possibly a Vega or something. My question is...
  15. Finishing
    Looking for recommendations on brushes. Tired of reading reviews. In your opinion, what works, what doesn't, where did you buy, etc.? Asking for oil based, water based, shellac, etc. Thanks in advance.
  16. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I'm looking to invest in a bandsaw to help take my woodworking to the next level. I've gotten a few recommendations to make pedestal based tables and have had to turn them down due to not having a bandsaw. I want a saw that that can cut at least 9-10" and is powerful enough to slice through...
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I'm needing a shop vacuum for general cleanup in my shop, but I'll mostly use it in the house after remodeling, or on the cars when I want to vacuum them out. 1) I want durable - Can it suck up drywall dust without damaging it? Will it break if moved around a lot? 2) I want it to be reliable. I...
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi, I bought a new Ridgid TS2412 table saw many, many years ago and it's still in great shape, but I think I'm ready to sell it and get something that's not only safer, but more accurate. My current Ridgid has stamped steel wings and an "ok" fence, both need to be adjusted regularly to keep them...
  19. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hello, Will be building my workshop barn soon and I'm considering getting a compressor and nail gun for framing. I've done some research, but it's a bit overwhelming. Especially since I don't know anything about compressors. I looked into renting, but an air compressor and nail gun end up...
  20. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I have been a lurker on the LumberJocks site for some time and can honestly say I have gained invaluable knowledge. I am ready to take the plunge and replace my table saw. I am trying to stay around $1200 and am interested in a hybrid saw. I will definitely be adding a mobile base as my shop...
