  2. The "Tree People" are almost done...

    It's a little past noon on day two of the removal of four trees and the clean-up of accumulated brush. I have not heard from the contractor yet to let me know that he does in fact have a permit. He reported that we have an O.K. from the Zoning People but there was a minor error in the drawings...

  4. Matching Picture Frames

    My wife had some pictures of the kids taken in our back yard, so I volunteered to make some frames that matched our dinning room table. The frames are simple, but it was the first time I used water soluble dye so I decided to post it. The outer trim is walnut with black dye and the matting is...
  5. Workshop Table

    This is a table that I was making for a bathroom. The finish and table did not come out as well as I wanted so I ended up using it for some more workshop storage. It fits just under the wing of my table saw so it worked out really well.
  6. Custom made from pine Armoire

    This was started as a project to store a 7 foot tall custom made $5,000 dollar full size Santa Claus for my employer. I used Autocad Inventor to design and configure it to fit the Santa for storage. The shelves are removable to be replaced with normal shelves when the Santa is out on display...
  7. Nightstand

    This was built for my grandson who was into dinosaurs at the time. This project had a coupe of firsts for me, one was the stain. My daughter said that everything in my grandsons bedroom was dark and so she wanted a dark stain. I found an ebony stain and figured it doesn't get any darker than...

  9. Staircase Drawers! First home wood project.

    I have no idea why you don't see more of this in houses. One of those damn why didn't I think of that. It fits 8 pairs of shoes with room to spare. So now I dont have a trip hazzard when I go to the laundry room. Made from #1 pine, dado corners, glued, and nailed. Each box is about 20" wide by...

  11. 17th Century Carved Box - a la Peter Follansbee my way

    I've been working on learning how to do this box for a at least a year. After about 3 test boards and a couple of extra gouges I was happy with the results and ready to make the box. I first saw Peter Follansbee make this box on the Woodwright Shop...
  12. Router Bit Bearing Removal Jig

    To prevent injuries or droping router bits on the concrete floor of my basement workshop, I devised this jig that is easy to use and is 100% safe. Only a stick of hardwood and few 1-1/4'' lengths of 1/4" dowels are needed to build the jig. You slip the router bit shank in the appropriate hole...
  13. Another Router Bit Bearing Removal Jig

    Here's another and simplier jig to help removing router bit bearings safely, to extend its life, to get more profiles from the bit or when it needs to be replaced when worned out or broken. To use the jig, slip the router bit shank in the appropriate size hole, squeeze the jig in a vise and get...

    I've spent too much money on my Bessey and Gross-Stabil parallel clamps to have them get stuck when a drop of glue gets on the bars!! The other week, I spent about 10 minutes digging out only 3 or 4 small spots of glue on my clamp bars. I had to use an X-acto (sp?) knife, which was terribly...

    Any tips on getting metal dust off of tools? This is taking forEVERRRRRR. Mostly just hand tools (chisels, hammer, etc), a little bit on the base of my drill press and lathe. It's so fine that wiping it off seems to be the only option? Any tips for getting rid of the shavings/dust if I come...
  17. Finishing
    I recently was commissioned to redo a old wooden front door. I stripped it down to bare wood, sanded in various grades of sandpaper up to 220 grit, used a wood conditioner prior to staining, and applied rustoleum oil based dark walnut stain. The problem came when I went to apply a wipe on poly...
  18. Woodworking Skill Share
    My wife wanted an old barn door to hang in our pantry in our kitchen. She found one but it was 30" wide rather than the required 24". I was required to make it work. I've dismantled the door and found that it was held together with 5/8"s dowels with no glue. They are just long and tight and have...

    I have some dead spots (stripped gear teeth) on my Delta 31-250 drum sander, which I realize is quite common with this sander. I also know that the gears are apparently discontinued along with almost every other part of this machine. However, I am determined not to send it to scrap, since I...

Let sit for a few and wipe off or use 0 down to 0000 steel wool on really bad rusty or corroding metal surface and the results are amazing. The reason for my post is because I have...
