I want to build a guitar rack that will hang on the wall. My plan is to use a plank for the back (I have either maple or bloodwood for this—am leaning toward using the bloodwood). The guitar will sit very upright, and be supported by two a...
Hello, and welcome to my first blog entry on Lumberjocks!
I’m starting a cello from scratch so I thought I’d share the process. For the time being I’m only working on this two days a week, if it takes a few months or half a ye...
I was at a local wood supply house, PeachState Lumber. I call this the place ‘the palace of potential’. This is ONE on the many pieces of walnut burl they had over to the side.
There were about 30 pieces in this size range and...

the b-25 is done I painted it od green and then used paint pens (yes i know that is probably cheating) to put a little detail into the project. The next project in this series will be the f6 hellcat I started after that I maybe done not sure they ...
No I haven’t fallen of the face of the earth. I finished the A&C style queen size bed weeks ago and I added the pictures just a few minutes ago.
Here are the other items that I have been working on;I have been very busy building a new deck ...
I went out earlier this week with my wife, without our satnav, to visit a lovely garden we had visited about 2 years ago. We knew it was in the New Forest but I had forgotten the route we had taken before. Any way we set off & found a garden r...
The theme of this entire entry of the woodshop journals is pretty simple…......when at a local flea market or auction….....keep diggin’!!! You really never know what you will find….and for some very lucky reason friends I s...
Hello one and all of the woodworking world. Here is my final roundup of ideas, lessons and shavings so I can finally put some of my Disstons in a nice comfy home to showcase and enjoy.

This is the first project I have ever posted on any forum for any experts out there to comment on. So with a little trepidation I submit this to you all to comment on.
I’m restoring an old gate leg table I made in 1980 from oak timbers sa...
As closely as I can figure, it’s been 5 years that I’ve been on LJ. (#days divided by 365 1/4).I’ve learned a lot and met great people here. This is one of the best sites on the web with almost no amount of trash to wade throug...
This is the finished bird that I started 2 weeks ago. It took about 24 hours to get it to this stage. I still need to make a mount for the bird, and I’d like to make it unique. That means no ‘bird on a stick’, but also not the tr...
This first bowl came out really nice and was a lot of fun to build. Took forever though, about 20hours of work.

Here is the start to bowl #2. New grinding tools have real...
I found this video pretty interesting.. this is how they make the patterns to create a mold for casting a large marine propeller. That’s a lot of plywood. And sawdust.

It’s created a rukus bigger than that time I tried on all the underwear at Walmart. A hullabaloo on the scale of the great sawdust snorting contest we did in ‘91.
For those who have been living in a cave, here’s the crisis we ...
and I thought my POS Buck Brothers plane was worthless… NOPE! it’s an awesome anode!
evaporust was not as wonderful as i’d hoped (probably not enough prep by me); trying electrolysis.

This past weekend I got the veneer applied and stained, and glued in the top vent frame pieces. I also popped the grain on the curly maple front. Next stop will be the final pictures in the Project posting.
Thanks for checking it out:

As part of our kitchen remodel I’m taking on building the cabinets. We are modeling these off of a set at a local big box store. Here’s some pics just after I attached the face frames. They are ready for a finish and then install. Sor...
Hi Sawdust eaters,
Been a while since I added any clutter to this blog. I know there are folks out there who want to update their shop table. In my opinion the shop table is the #l item in any working shop. Why use a hurridly thrown together sh...
I am sitting with my 6 month niece and drinking coffee my 4 year old sitting here as well and I mentioned talking to myself hmm which hand plane should I fix up first. My niece says gurgle gurgle burp which I am pretty sure means the small block p...
Ok, I am new here and I’ll take risk. Thought I would share an innovation that amuses me and works well enough. I have looked at router lifts for my Craiglist router table. Ouch, the cost. Especially, when other equipment is high on ...
After reading “Cabinetmaker’s Notebook”, I began to understand why James Krenov was so admired as a woodworker. Attached is my tribute video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_X39RC0jXY
Over the last couple weeks I’ve completed the construction of the side and end rails and cut the slats for supporting the mattresses. I also settled on somewhat novel connection hardware for the rails. Woodcraft sells a very inexpensive bed ...
. . . and as I sat there packing up the boxes with the 200 kits that I just finished cutting, an email popped up in my mail box. It appeared to be an order for another 250 kits!
I reread it just to be sure. Yes. That is exactly what it was. ...
Ok, here is the update
Shirley found out about the visit
Now her words were
“Over my dead body your building a bench You
can build a Kitchen first”
Now I’m not sure of other countries but in

Hi Lumberjocks,
I need some help diagnosing an issue I’m having with my dust collector. Recently my dust collector started tripping the circuit breaker and running with a lot of vibration. Initially I though it was the impeller that was...

Sharpening card scrapers was never so easy, or so much fun…
This week is all about card scrapers: how to sharpen them, how to use them, we make a rack to store them and a jig to burnish them. Along the way we do some fooling around and ta...
Okay, I just watched this video and was shocked by what I saw. This guy uses a hand chisle as a lathe chisle. Have you ever heard of such a thing? At first I thought he was going to use the hand chisle to remove some more of the high spots, you kn...
It’s finished!
Not much to say really. I had fun and now I have a banjo to try and learn to play! Ha ha

I think there is a little artist in all woodworkers. I seen this ad for Samsung Galaxy note with artist AJ Fosik. I like what he says about his work. I think it applies to many of us.

Here is a video I made about a universal precision box joint and small wedge jig. Quick and easy to set up, cheap to make, it replaces the tedious one at a time process usually done. The insidious “creep” of finger joint jigs is eliminated. It sa...
