The base and bread board ends are made from cherry and the top is made up of 6 different species of hardwood; red oak, maple, white ash, red elm, black walnut and willow.

    Hey everyone! My 12 year old daughter passed her test achieving her green belt in taekwando. As part of her test she broke a pine board. When we got home I thought it might be nice to make her a little dovetailed box from the board she broke, and this is what I whipped up. Done 100% all by hand...

    Have any of you guys ever used floating tenon joinery on pieces that might see lots of racking/use/wear-n-tear… like on chairs or other types of furniture? Not long ago I did some basic tests wherby I cut and sanded two pieces (some 3" round pine pieces that had been air-drying for a few...

    My client, an architect, has asked me to build an entertainment center for one of his clients. I have concerns about it's stability, because it will essentially be four sides and some shelving; but no back. The four sides will be 1 1/2" hardwood, and they will be 18" deep. It is 7' wide, and...

    I am in the process of making a number of handplane Totes and Knobs out of Zebrawood. While I try to avoid obvious flaws in wood, I ended up with a tote sized piece that necessitated cutting it with an obvious flaw or weak area. Zebrawood does this on occasion and this tote had to be cut this...

    I'm building the Paul Sellers workbench. I just glued up my first apron board. I'm using 2x SYP, so I'm starting out with a 1.5 inch thick apron. Of course I had to plane it approximately flat before I glued up, and I'll have to plane it again put the two glued boards in plane. After all that...

    Hey all, I just joined up and am looking forward to participating. To my question: I'm currently making a scissor lift table, and the bottom tray is constructed of a pine frame, butt-joined with three screws [#6 X 2"] in each corner.

    Kind of a dumb question, but when designing a torsion box, how light can it be and still be effective? I would like to have an assembly table, but need something that could be stored vertically and used on sawhorses as required. would 1/4" skins and maybe a 1×2 core be anywhere rigid enough...

    On my current project, I'm using a lot of pocket hole joinery. After drilling the pocket holes, I did a dry fit (no glue) to see what everything would be like when finished. (It was almost perfectly square, which made me very happy.) One problem I ran into was over-tightening the pocket hole...

    So I was about to build a low entertainment center (60" wide, 22" deep, 20" tall). The original design was plywood cabinet, but due to material (of choice) costs this design is out the door. I'm not too excited about making this using the plywood box construction method, and would rather go...

    Hello All, Anyone know of a good source of information on the strength to weight ratio of woods. I'm really interested in making more paddles and would like a number of woods to choose from while still keeping them as light as possible.

    I've had this reclaimed lumber in my wood pile for several years. It came from a 80 year old farm house that was destroyed. I noticed that this board was much heavier than the 20 or so boards that I got from the same source. I was always curious as to what it was, and being very old there was...
