It looks to me you’re doing alright no matter what you do.

Hey Charley, I like all your projects. I like to make the small boxes and quick projects that give instant gratification using unique materials, like some of yours. Nice work.

Thanks for the comments Charlie on the cutting boards. It doesn’t take that long to make one. The sanding is the hard part. If you have a wide belt sander or know someone who does you can make one in a few hours.

And here is the best place for the pond liner, no underlayment required and super durable…

did I mention it’s the cheapest I’ve found? last summer a 15×30 foot piece was $165 including ups shipping. Most of the other places and local vendors were double that…

I’m going to be doing the holiday shop (santa’s work shop) for a few of the local schools in my area ! I’m looking for ideas for fast , easy projects with little cost to make , so I can donate them for the under privileged childeren to give to their parents for the holidays (x-mas & such) . Childern of all walks of life also find joy in giving to their parents and other family members on the holidays , It gives them a sense of pride,and happyness! The school asks that I make sure that it would be something of a non-religious background to all cultures !If anyone has any plans or ideas please send them to me soon december 17th is my deadline. Thank you everyone that took the time to read this !Happy thanks giving!!!!!

Charlie, Thanks for the kind comments. I used the instructions in the May 2007 issue of Woodcraft Magazine.

Thanks for the comments. Yes my Dad built the boat out of 2 inch pine. I added that as a project. Check it out.

Hi Jeanmarc. I’m not sure about your question. What is my next project? It has been very hot here, so I have not been doing too much in the workshop lately.

then good bronzing

Hi! Thanks for welcoming me. I have yet to really start with woodworking, but I have no doubt that this site will be extremely useful even after I find a class.

Geocaching is a lot of fun. You probably pass tons of caches all the time, and just don’t even realize it. My mom hiked the Grand Canyon last weekend, and she was totally there for the hike, but found 4 caches in the basin. They’re everywhere.

Woodworking looks like fun too.

-- Emily, Utah, http://michiedo.blogspot.com

Also, I just checked out your projects, and I love how you just have walnut or maple “lying around”. I guess it’s like any other hobby, and of course you have the stuff for it around. It just sounds really random and exciting, though. :)

Thanks for the views and comments. I was looking at your box gallery…amazing, a true inspiration!

-- Aaron Adelaide

Thank you .

-- Suliman , Syria, jablah ,

Thanks for the comment on the table. funny how woodworkers think alike. I almost always mortise my legs proud of the skirt. I though I’d try something different on this table but I agree at least the front panel should have been recest. Ive enjoyed your work too!

-- Rogue

I have been looking through your projects and MAN..U DA MAN!! great work!

Scott

I Agree, very nice work I am especially impressed with all the inlay work and box projects. Well Done!

Hi Charlie. If you don’t know the answer to my question, I am betting you can direct me to some people who can.

What is the trick(s) to setting hinges on a small box for instance, to ensure that the lid will be 100% square and true? That seems to be the single hardest and most frustrating facet of the job for me.

Do you set the hinge on the lid or the box first? Any tricks will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
