  1. Jig for making large dowels, fluted columns, even tapered legs

    I have a project coming up where I need to make two matching tapered columns, but alas I do not have a lathe. I wanted a way to create them easily and repeatability was important - here is the jig I came up with.. A box.. On the front end I have a vertical adjustment to set the diameter at...
  2. Mallet / Table Leg from Dunnage

    I must have missed the email about the great mallet exchange. But I have to show my dual purpose mallet. I turned it as a practice for making some oak table legs for a customer. The wood is more of the Indian dontknow I use for most of my work. This particular piece is incredibly dense...
  3. Router Lathe

    Okay, first post and I'm already breaking the rules - it's not a completed project but I thought some guys could appreciate the lathe idea. Sorry, but this project has been taking months. I keep picking up projects in-between. Got this years 160 hour flu at Christmas and that really slowed...
  4. Shot glass display case

    Got me a whole bunch of walnut last year for next to nothing so this is the first bigger project I used it on. Most of it is the sap wood very light but the figure is amazing kind of like quilted maple'ish. The side HD symbols are maple and the top HD is purple heart and lacewood. Anyway my...

  6. Liberated Sign Coffee Table

    This was my first woodworking project ever. When I was in the Army, I liberated a stop sign from Kuwait and snuck it home. It was way too nice to hang in the garage. I built this last year before I had any tools- just a cordless drill, a hand saw, and a plastic miter box. Lots of fun...

    Except for cutting rough lumber to length, all work is being done with hand tools. I am dimensioning material for a dining room table. It will be 78" in length and 30" to top of table. The legs will be tapered from a 3" square billet. The top will be a heavy piece of walnut made from 3...

    Hello all, I'm a DYI'er with above average skills but not in possession of woodworking tools; i.e., I cannot make a mortise and tenon joint. I want to construct a farmhouse style table using four hardwood monastery table legs (5" square top and bottom) and a 62×39 ash butcher block table top...

    New Woodturning Experience - the Good and Bad I've put together a video of my first woodturning commission. This was a challenging project when I was newer to wood turning. Now that I'm more skilled, I'm sharing this video with tips on what not to do. There's a mix of stain matching...

    I found a design for a square table leg with a profile cut in each side, but I'm curious how you would make it without the use of CNC: https://www.osbornewood.com/1141.cfm My first thought is to cut the tapered and bottom portion on each side with a band saw, and use a router on the rest? Or...
  13. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    Six of us made an appearance at the Woodworking Show this Saturday. We even got along with each other if you can believe that. This was Matt's (Napaman) first time at one of these. He was like a kid in a candy store. I met 5 really great guys. Thank you for being there guys. I think we might...
