  1. Livingroom redo

    The boss had me tear out the oak trim that I put in the addition when I built it just ten years ago. It's all painted MDF and poplar now. I have to admit the built window seat and cabinets where a good idea. Happy wife happy life.
  2. China Cabinet

    This is my last finished project. Made mostly of solid wood, hard maple and cherry, back wall is maple plywood. Finished with oil based varnish (alkyd resin). Design is my original. Doors are "semi open" frame. In early stage I wanted to make classical doors in complete frame, but in my sketched...
  3. Cherry coffee table

    this is the cherry coffee table I finally finished. you can see the prototype I made in the back. The prototype took me one day to build but the real thing took two weeks! the drawer is what ended up taking me the longest. it is the first time I have made a piece of furniture with a drawer.
  4. Horse Shoe Door Knocker

    This is my first try at one of these. I was give a bucket of horse shoes a few years ago and welded some together for coat hooks but this one said it wanted to be a door knocker…. so it is.. I just welded a rod across the opening for the pivot and added some brass knocking pieces and a cherry...

    I am fixing a warped interior sliding barn door. The current door is built with 8" 4/4 cherry planks glued and buscuited. I think the joinery technique is part of the reason for the warp, due to no room for seasonal movement. I'm thinking I need to re-saw along the joints and cut T&G and rejoin...

    After a lot of work, I now have about 2,000 bf of walnut stacked and drying, and I have a few questions. It was a heckuva project-with one comedic slight hit that cost me a hundred bucks for some siding, and one very tense (two broken ropes and the tree sitting back down into the kerf)...
  9. Wood & Lumber
    Hey y'all, I know nothing about wood. I know I like it and want to work more with it. I found this really cool piece in a scrap pile at my university and decided to take it, it was around 5 inches thick. (no idea what kind of wood it is) A month later I got it cut in half (~2 inch slabs), it...

    Greetings and salutations LumberJocks! I recently completed this ZCI for my table saw. It's made from half inch plywood and sch 40 2" PVC pipe. Thanks to Izzy Swan for giving me the design to modify for my saw! It's solid, smooth and works great. The only issue I have with it is that it's...
  11. Joinery
    Hi, I'm new here and relatively new to woodworking so I'm sorry in advance if I use the incorrect terminology. I recently decided I wanted to make a shuffleboard table and have it mostly completed except for the playing surface which is where I've encountered a problem. The playing surface is...
  12. Finishing
    How do I repair / fill hairline cracks in a laminated oak island top (finished with tung oil)? I made a kitchen island / trolley (it's on casters) last fall. This was my first "serious" woodworking project, and I made an error when doing the finishing the laminated oak island top (purchased...

    I am making a Dutch Pullout dining table as described on page 56 of Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking (Taunton Press). The main top is 40" by 60" including walnut edges of 1-3" width (varying due to curvature of the edges) which are splined into the 3/4" Baltic Birch core. It does not yet have my...

    I have 4-48"x2"x1" plain sawn walnut cabinet door rails that were flat when cut but now have bowed. They were stored standing on end. The two doors will have 8 panes of glass each and will be mortise and tenon joined. The door must be flat. Can I steam and clamp them flat before joining or is it...

    Arriving upon the scene It all began in the beginning where most things begin; maybe everything does but I like to leave room for error since I am very prone to those. In the beginning were those men in my life who were for all practical purposes expert craftsmen whether it be wood working...

    Routing cast iron So I traded a .270 weatherby and 300$ for an old rockwell unisaw that was just refurbished by its previous owner. I got it dialed in when I discovered the top was warped when I went to cut some tenons to test it out. Needless to say, this was a big problem. A machine shop...

    I'm fairly new to "fine" woodworking and undertook a project of building a table from a Lowes Creative Ideas magazine - http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/projects/DIY_Dining_Set_0911.aspx I have the table built and but the top has twisted so bad that the table rocked. So I trimmed...

    I have three pieces of countertop that were sink cut-outs. I got them out today to make a router table plus a couple of other things. I have had them for a while and notice that there is a slight bow in them- looking from the laminate side, they are concave. Is there any way to flatten them...
  20. Wood & Lumber
    I'm working on a larger project so I wanted to get some less expensive wood. At my local Lowes I found some "whitewood" at an attractive price point and got three 6 foot boards. When I got home and tried ripping them on the table saw the immediately began to warp and bind. After I was about 2...
