Looking at how to improve my cheap ($65 used) Ryobi table saw, I threw together this sled and rip fence out of scrap lumber. I put a stop cleat at the right side of the fence so it will align with the slot for the sled tracks. Of course, I can set the fence aside if I have to. It may look...

I wrote a blog about how Lizzy and I build this birdhouse.

Getting around to posting things here is not my strong point, but I needed to show my LJ buddies that I really have been working. My wife Heidi has gotten us signed up to participate in a craft show on March 19th, so I have been busy between cleaning up planes by the Dennis Grosen method...

Here's the saddle push stick I made so it can't be forgotten since it will always be sitting on the table saw rip fence. The top is made out of a 3/4" MDF scrap and the sides from 5/16" HDF. When not used, as for ripping long workpieces, I lock it up with a paper clip and I disengage the rubber...

This was yet another study. I was trying to create a better seal for my future humidor efforts, so I increased the size of the inner lip and did some beveling so it would clear. Gradually sanding down until I got a perfect "pillow drop" seal. I pieced together the inner lip from some leftover...

Made with quartersawn white oak. I added lights to the bottoms of some of the treads makes late night trips to the fridge much safer!!

Ok well I'm back again. I put a post in the forums with no anwsers, so I did some research on glider rockers since I had a customer want one. I slightly modified the chair built a simple sub- frame added the glider arms and its a wrap, but wait was my math that good or did I just get lucky with...

Business Card Holders for wife's business Made from 1/8" Brazilian Rosewood. One has a slide in closer and one has a maple cover that closes and leaves a little stub as the handle. I love Rosewood and wish I could actually get a decent sided piece. I got the pieces I have over 30 years ago on...

I was making a bunch of these simple santas for my daughter's teachers, principal,bus driver,etc. I posted a pic on Facebook and a friend offered me $20 to make her one along with a matching Mrs. Claus . I had a REAL tough time coming up with a design for the old woman. This is about as good as...
